At best a nostalgia-inducing recreation of the "Rush Hour" board game, and at worst a waste of your time and money... you decide. At the timeAt best a nostalgia-inducing recreation of the "Rush Hour" board game, and at worst a waste of your time and money... you decide. At the time of writing this review, "Park Inc." is on sale for $2.39 from it's regular $2.99 price tag. Even that's too much to ask for this game, let alone pay for it.
I would by no means recommend buying this game. That's for a number of reasons: the game is limited to handheld mode with only the ability to use touch controls, there is no way to save level progress (if you close the game, time to restart from the beginning!), and extremely low difficulty with no replayability. Perhaps more egregious, the developer claims to have created 150 unique levels, though after the hour spent playing the game, it became apparent that levels repeated themselves infinitely.
I didn't know anything about the developer or publisher before buying the game and decided to give it a go. I didn't look into them/their eShop page (a big mistake!), so that's on me. Come to find out they specialize in the shovelware (software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and 'shoveled' down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash - Urban Dictionary) that the eShop is known for. That's literally all they produce. You know all those ads on your phone that say "Play This Game!" and show a game that seems like it might be fun but then it turns out it isn't? Yeah, this is basically that... a cash grab. Despite the cutesy exterior and obvious inspiration from the "Rush Hour" board game, "Park Inc." has virtually no redeeming qualities.… Expand
