Thrillville is a simulation and strategy video game that simulates theme park management. It was developed by Frontier Developments, also a developer of the similar theme park game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Unlike the latter, the game is only available on the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation Portable, and the Xbox. Thrillville producer David Braben stated in an interview that the game may be available on the PC in the future.
The game includes 100 missions to achieve in 5 different parks, each of which have 3 areas. The game also features a large number of mini-games, such as kart racing, first-person shooters, and scrolling shooters. These can be played in single or multiplayer mode.
Contrary to most games, the player can actually interact with park guests. You can talk, chat, challenge, and for the teens, flirt. The main purpose of this feature is to improve the park, based on the guests' taste. The player can also buy souvenirs for their character.
However, Thrillville allows much less customization than other amusement park simulators like RollerCoaster Tycoo.n games. The themes are pre-set, and no sandbox mode or scenario editor is present. There are a very limited number of rides and stalls, and rides must be built in build zones, and coasters at pre-set stations.
