Lucasarts makes great games. This one combines a nice strategy/mission of running a park w/simple adding marketing, training staff, building stalls, rides & games to make the customers happy. It's done simply that anyone over 10 years should be able to figure out. I dislike this type of game, but I found myself enjoying it. With a nice story that you run the park against sabotage from a rival theme park owner, etc. Finding your way around the park or transporting yourself immediately to a game, ride or person instantly is easy. The sounds help immerse you into the game, there's real voice acting for all interactions (you can FFW them) & there's real songs in the menu, cheer leading game, etc. The Doc Brown like character as the park owner is a nice touch.
freezing in main game
I did have a freezing issue, though mine happens after an hour straight of play. It never happens in the party/mini game section, just the main adventure area. I now save often after winning a game or mission which is annoying, but the only part of the game I found a let down.
