Strategy & War


Legoland

continued

Unfortunately, the game itself is a little too frustrating for the younger set, and for older folks, the title comes off as a bit shallow. It is cool to see Lego landscapes in all their virtual glory, but you can't do any of the tweaking found in RollerCoaster Tycoon, such as setting burger prices or lowering land. The game succeeds by being accessible and easy to learn. Jonathan Ablebody is voiced perfectly and he explains every nuance of the game clearly and concisely. Moreover, the graphics go a long way in capturing the way Lego play sets look and feel. However, it would have been nice if the game offered the ability to zoom, rotate, and focus on parts of the map.

  

 
Anyone would obviously be better off with real Legos and an imagination, but Legoland does offer an excellent spin on the theme-park sim genre, especially for younger gamers. Unfortunately, nostalgia aside, the gameplay is fairly average, and offers little in the way of innovation.

If you like this type of game, you might want to try RollerCoaster Tycoon or SimTheme Park.
