Theme Park DS interview

He's a vampire.One of those wonderful joys that humans can't quite classify is building a really, really sweet roller coaster. Many games have provided for this need in the past, but now EA's promising Theme Park DS might allow us that satisfaction anywhere we so choose.

This in-depth interview reveals plans for country-themed parks, Wi-Fi visitation of other people's creations, a new negoiations feature, and more. Also included are some new screens and even a short little trailer.

Is anyone else oddly excited by this game? We plan to build an incomplete roller coaster, and make our friends repeatedly and wildly careen to their deaths at every opportunity. As any true gamer should.

1. I am, actually. I loved this game for the SEGA SATURN. Guaranteed purchase. I'm actually afraid to tell my sisters. Cause they might try to hijack my DS Lite.

Or maybe they'll buy their own. They were theme park junkies.

2. I used to play this game religiously back when my friend was the only one with a computer. He had a Compaq 486... this was before Pentium computers. It brings me to tears to see this franchise revisited on my second favorite system, as the previous Theme Parks simply did not do the original game justice.

Consider this one 'got' upon release.

3. The DS needs more games like this, as long as it's quality and not anything like Zoo Tycoon DS. Theme Park DS should hold us over for Simcity DS for now!
