    Thrillville off the rails for DS is a game in which you own some theme parks and try to build them up and get more money to build more up... all the while trying to stop the evil... clowns... from wrecking your business. Makes sense, eh? The problem is, it's way too easy as you make money always however discontent customers are. You can't even create your own rides, just buy them, butThrillville off the rails for DS is a game in which you own some theme parks and try to build them up and get more money to build more up... all the while trying to stop the evil... clowns... from wrecking your business. Makes sense, eh? The problem is, it's way too easy as you make money always however discontent customers are. You can't even create your own rides, just buy them, but that's easy with that huge stash of money you've got that is constantly increasing. It's mildly fun, but the problem is that you hardly have a role. There are minigames in which you have to 'clean up' rides, but they are so easy and tedious. There are also seven slightly more fun minigames, and even though you've seen them all before, they are still enjoyable. Also incorporated into the main plot is some point and click action, but it's quite basic and rudimentary. Thrillville off the rails is a bland, uninteresting game that doesn't even let you properly customise your park.… Expand

    Thrillville off the rails for the DS is a simple game. Build, build, build, Get money, and Boom, new theme park. There is not much to do except trying roller-coasters, and playing mini-games. Well the mini-games is pretty fun for a while i must say, and there is nothing wrong with the story? but why does this game have so low ratings? I had a fun time playing it and i might play it again,Thrillville off the rails for the DS is a simple game. Build, build, build, Get money, and Boom, new theme park.

I had a fun time playing it and i might play it again, Yes, yes i know! the Thrillville games for the other consoles is better and alot more fun, but come on! its a DS game, not a ps3 game. You can do alot more on the console version of Thrillville. But i does its work for a DS game!

    Perhaps the worst game I've ever played. I don't even know if I need to say anything. I'll settle on this: it's insultingly easy, the graphics are terribly unappealing, there's not a real soundtrack, the story DOESN'T EXIST, Not A SINGLE GOOD CHARACTER. Wow. I can't even. I've lost my ability to even.

    Had the developers decided to focus on one of the game's aspects and make a fleshed out version, then Thrillville would have been at least a fun miniature version of the consol game. Instead, the mess we got is a broken ride.

    About as hardcore as a whimpering puppy and a bit low on content to boot, but this breezy title makes for a decent enough casual game.

    A kid’s game, and doesn’t try to hide that fact. While young gamers might enjoy the game for a while, though, the general lack of much to do ensures that it won’t keep them busy for long.
