Product Description
Thrillville: Off the Rails amps up the family-friendly mix of gameplay with some of the most outlandish roller-coaster concepts ever imagined, as well as new ways to talk to park guests and a new array of carnival games. 20 death-defying rides so outrageous inspire the same word from every park visitor who sees them: "WHOA!" Build incredible "WHOA Coasters" to leap from one track to another, launch through the air like cannonballs, blast through a burning ring of fire and more. A new lighthearted story ties together more than 100 missions, complete with 34 playable multiplayer theme-park games and social interaction with park guests that's better than ever. The in-depth conversations both advance the plot and suggest better ways to manage the park but is every guest to be trusted? Smarter guests, better dialogue and more focused two-way conversation make Thrillville's socialization aspects even more amusing than before Conversation more directly impacts the story than in the original Thrillville Play 34 minigames - 14 new, 20 returning from the original Thrillville with new levels such as Robo K.O., Sparkle Quest, Bandito Chinchilla and Tank Frenzy

3 out of 5 stars Not for all   October 5, 2008
Game is great short fun for the kids. Not really for elders, unless your into these things. It's not like the other "build your own theme park games" i've tried. This has more build it and try it aspects.

After I played Thrillville for two days I got kind of bored of it since the games got so hard. If you are a good game player this game is definently for you.

If you have the 1st thrillville then you'll like the new Thrillville off the rail just as much, although I was a bit disappointed it wasn't more challenging. It has all the same game play as the 1st game did, from managing the park, building rides and easy to play arcade games for the kids. What I like about thrillville the Most is that my 3 kids can play the arcade games with me and can keep up because they are easy but fun.

Old game vs. New game
Old game- you put up a pizza, hat, balloon stand all you could do was change the color & look at it.

New game- put up a stand not only can you change the color & put eyeballs, crabs etc.. decorations on it but you can also play a vending machine game. Which is actually very addictive.

Old game- building rollercoaster was a bit tricky I had a hard time with it.
New game- Is Much easier, I had no problem building my own roller coaster this time.

Old game- Only had like 14 party play games (arcade style games where up to 4 people can play together) which were all fun for the whole family.

New game- Has 50 party play games, which I was excited to see but about half of them are really Lame. Like Coast Tron, Strongman, whack mole there are no direction, took awhile to understand what to do and once we did we were bore with them easily actual Hate those games. Also Sparkle Quest and Bandito are really FUN new games, but they only have 4 levels, you can complete the game in 10 minutes!! This really upset the kids, just as they got use to the game it was over. But they also add another sparkle island 2 makes up for the bad games.

Old game- building the park had so many objectives you had to complete it took me a long time to finish the whole game.
New game- Building the park does not have that many objectives, I was able to finish the game in 4 days and was disappointed, I like when it's a hard challange.

Old Game- Had some really Good music which I ended up putting on my Ipod
New Game- The music is awful!! Turn the volume off

Altogether it's a great game to play with younger kids, they loved the newer roller coater that go off the track and the arcade games are still fun.

This game is very fun!!! The only problem is that you can't build coasters anywhere, you have a limit. Otherwise it's very fun and has a good plot!!!!!


3 out of 5 stars Thrillville not much of a Thrill!   November 3, 2007

When this game came on Xbox 360 I was exited. I love games such as Sims 2 and Rollercoaster Tycoon. So, I thought that this would be the same. It's has great graphics and the ability to talk to the guest was an awesome touch. The mini games were good. With all of additions, I could not get into it.
