It's at once simple and complex, enabling you move from intricate micro-management to merely watching the on-screen action without it ever seeming like you're investing too much or too little effort. What could be more simple than building a couple of rides, food stands, games, and charging $100 a head to get in, right? And that's what's so intoxicating about STP's gameplay. Gameplay Sim Theme Park is the perfect example of depth hidden under the guise of a simple premise. The sheer amount of depth found within this game all but assures that you'll have a completely different park every time, even when they're in the same locales. The fantastic interface combined with an amazing number of options ensures that even on the most basic level, you're going to be having a boatload of fun. There's no doubt about it, with a little time (and hopefully a quiet room), Sim Theme Park can be one of the best wastes of time you get for under $50.

It's a blast and begs the question, 'Why hasn't this been done yet?' That's right, do well enough building your park, and you can hop into it as a guest, trying out all of the features and rides you've built. And the best part? Once you've crafted your girder-and-pylon masterpiece, be it Michelangelan or Daliesque, you can take it for a spin. Sim Theme Park enables you to ease the most sadistically creative brain cells into the driver's (or is that builder's?) seat and lets them tear loose, crafting guaranteed upchuckers galore through a plethora of inventive themed parks. Now I know the sentence above may have led you to believe that this game might suck, but there's a different reason for making people puke their brains out other than a crappy game: roller coasters.
