February 18th, 2010 Xbox Reviews No comments

Thrillville Off the Rails




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

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Really just a kids game
Well…. if you are an adult thinking this could still be fun for you, i think you may be disappointed . I had fun for a little bit but it gets old due to how simple the game really is at its core. Complex enough for a kid tho or an adult playing with the child. pretty solid kids game

4 Stars Great game for kids and adults alike
This game is alot of fun especially for little kids it may be alittle difficult for them to understand at first. But there are alot of mini games that are like arcade game they would enjoy. And if you like roller coaster tycoon or similar games odds are you would like this game as well. Im not a child but i enjoyed it none the less so its not just a kids game.

3 Stars Not for all
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.

2 Stars Ok
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.

4 Stars Great for the whole family
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.

5 Stars Culdcept SAGA is a wonderful gem for the Xbox 360!
Since purchasing this game over 6 months ago, 3 of my friends have also bought copies and this has turned into one of the best multiplayer experiences I’ve had for many years. This game is simply a blast to play.

Culdcept SAGA is a unique game and a little difficult to describe. It is set up as a board game with ‘property’ that can be landed on and acquired. Just like monopoly, you can level up your territory and create chains to increase their value. You claim territory and challenge the claims of other players using a deck of cards. There are nearly 500 cards with a variety of effects – this makes deck combination’s almost infinite. Culdcept SAGA is surprisingly balanced considering the number of cards and variety of map types.

There is no game quite like Culdcept SAGA and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Just be prepared for a new addiction.

4 Stars Take one part Monopoly and one part Magic the Gathering and all parts awesome.
Culdcept Saga is a weird idea but done right. Tons of cards, long Single-player campaign with helpful tutorials to suck you in, and endless amounts of online battles with friends and random people Via Xbox live. Not the game for everyone, but if you like Magic the Gathering, Yugioh, or other card battle games as well as some strategy, you own it to yourself to buy this hidden gem.

Worth every penny.

4 Stars Culdcept Saga
Culdcept Saga

Excellent Title, awsome strategy, great challenge, Excellent for RPG, strategy gamers.

4 Stars Addicting Magic
Just as you have heard its exactly the like card game “magic”;Nevertheless its super fun, you may even become addicted. With Video games the word addicted isn’t bad, Apparently; It means the game must have something that can draw a person in and keep them interested.The most absorbing ,and intriguing parts for me were finding\locating all the cards,Messing around with my “decks”.

At first you might be like huh?..Especially if you’ve never Played the real “Magic card game”.

I say give it time;Either way, fulfillment is what you’ll get.

Their is more then enough helpful information. Every question you may have is answered and explained right in the help menu supplied on the disk.Its one of those games you get a pen an paper for,To remind yourself of the little things.Like what character gave you the most green cards,Spell cards, etc. I found myself jotting down the best spells and creatures, What map/land was easiest/hardest. Also what deck helped me to gather what i seek.

You get to create a bunch of decks,Packing them up with whatever you wish.From neutral,earth, water,Air,Fire,items,Tool- s,Armor,scrolls,Spells

(single-target)(Multi- target)cards.Changing book covers and naming them keeps everything in order. Also it keeps records & stats of how you did on each map.You unlock new clothes such as hats,weapons,capes,etc;As you play more and more an defeat different Characters.Who you also get to play as after defeating them.You may re fight them again and again to unlock more things.

Culdcept Keeps you and throws you off many times, Example:By randomizing the characters on the maps,just when you thought you had it down. Leaving it not so predictable and easy.I remember getting p1ssed off more then a few times with a couple of the characters, but that just makes you want to play more.

I personally can’t say enough about this game ,Their are many different lvls of play ,an Thinking involved. Its all about Strategy and does require Patience. Ran outta room lol

5 Stars My 2 cents…
I went to the store to pick up a different game and this one happened to catch my eye. After reading the description, I was intrigued. Well, it surpassed all expectations. I really enjoy it.

Things I like:

1) The collectible card part (my kids and I all have different cards and the randomness of getting them is kinda neat).

2) The hybrid card/board game (don’t even mind the luck factor-although it can be annoying rolling 3 ones in a row while the other players are lapping the board.

3) The learner curve was not to steep.

4) It’s just fun.

Things I don’t like:

1) Holy Word Zero (stupid card-especially when your oppenent has it as an ability on a short map…lol)You’ll see what I’m talking about when it’s played on you.

Truthfully, there is nothing I have ran into that I haven’t liked, but I have only invested about 15-20 hours so far. My kids (7 and 10) like it too.
