» very interesting

sound like it could be very fun like mario party thingy..



but I hope there is adhoc. cause without adhoc it's kind of boring to have "thrill" by yourself..

if this game can compete with XBOX's Fusion Frenzy then I will give it a try. Fusion Frenzy is the most overlooked game on any system IMO.

OVERVIEW

Thrillville focuses on what you do in your amusement park - not just designing the park itself. Designed with the console and handheld gaming experience in mind, Thrillville offers a fresh new gaming experience set in a theme park.

Thrillville offers an unprecedented range of high-quality gameplay. Each of the varied mini-games is a progressive, well-balanced, fun gaming experience in its own right. You can decide the layout, color, and admission prices of all your park's attractions. And you can even interact with all your parks guests.



BUILD AND RIDE

Thrillville boasts the simplest, most intuitive way of positioning and building the 75-plus ride types ever - from wooden, corkscrew, and inverted coasters to merry-go-rounds, trains, and all your favorite carnival rides.

"Ride-Cam" lets you experience the thrill of every speedy turn and stomach-churning drop your roller coasters and carnival rides have to offer.



MINI-GAMES

The midway-style mini-games are more than simple props for your park - you can actually play them as party games! Most games can be played up to four players and are customizable. 20 different mini-games are available.

Examples of mini-games include bumper cars, saucer soccer, remote-control cars, shooting gallery, mini-golf, rhythm challenges, arcade-style shoot-'em-ups and puzzlers, and much more.



INTERACT

Customize your own playable character's gender, head, body, clothes, skin tone and accessories.

Interact and develop a relationship with any guests you see wandering about. Listen to and address their unique concerns about your park, joke with them, and even help a guest impress their crush by winning that special prize for them.

Conversations with your guests span a broad spectrum of fun topics, from finding out how you can improve your park, swapping trivia and jokes, to flirting, and challenging them to play you at the mini-games.

The park guests you interact with remember you between your visits, so you can build up friendships with your favorite crowd!



MISSION SYSTEM

Complete up to 105 missions so that you can help Uncle Mortimer and save the day by fending off the threat of Globo-Joy Corporation.

The mission system helps the player get into the different aspects of the game and wraps the whole into a coherent, overarching strategy/sim game. Missions are varied and become more challenging as the game progresses.



OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION

Explore 15 different themed areas, such as Superville, Lunarville, Pirateville, Horrorville, Ninjaville, Prime-e-ville (ouch!) and Medi-e-ville (double ouch!!), spread across the five 'Thrillville' theme parks.

PSP® (PlayStation®Po rtable) System version has completely unique missions, not found in the console versions. It also features ad-hoc Wi-Fi play, and players can share items such as their own unique track and coaster designs.

Three play modes:

• Single-player mode - customize, socialize, and vaporize to your heart's content as you progress through the story. Play Thrillville how you want whilst keeping an eye on the park's cash flow!

• Multi-player mode - up to 4 people can play any of Thrillville's party games in co-operative or head-to-head modes.

• Tourney mode - build up your own multi-game tournaments from any of Thrillville's multi-player party games.
