Good, but room for improvement

This game is average but definitely not the best in tycoon style games.

For example not all the buildings are rotatable and there is only one fixed camera view. There is also a limit to how many workers you can employ and after about 5 days on the in-game clock your buildings start to break down a lot.

However it is nice to see real rides from the parks and you can, if you have the patience, make your parks large and beautiful with the scenery and foliage which is available.

Good Game.

SeaWorld Tycoon is a pretty good game. The graphics are excellent and I can keep lots of trash off the ground if I set up lots of garbage cans early in the game.
There are things I didn't like about the game. One, I've filled up my whole park with buildings and scenery but I can't get my average guest raiting past three and a half and I have over six hundred thousand dollars. Two, you can't change the camera view.
Overall its a pretty good game and my brother thinks its harder than my Zoo Tycoon games since you start out your Sandbox levels with a lot less money in SeaWorld than you do in a Freeform game in Zoo Tycoon. But stuff in SeaWorld Tycoon are a lot cheaper than stuff in Zoo Tycoon.

addictive!!! So much fun!

I was playing this game for hours! It is so much fun! Once you start, you cant stop! You want to make your SeaWorld the best! It has some of the entertainment that the real SeaWorlds have, like Shamu. The people in it are sort of realistic, but in the game, you can tell if a person is happy or sad or impresed or whatever! You have got to buy this game!!!

In the words of the Sea Captain, "thar' she blows!" This game doesn't come close to rivals RCT and ZT. The inability to design rides or attractions, the inability to rotate the screen and the inability to get money fast enough are just a few of this game's flaws. It is not worth $20. It might be worth $10 when you've played all there is to play in this one.

One Of The Worst Of The "New" Tycoons

I love Tycoons. I don't even know if this game can be classified as one, since you can't plan your park from the beginning, are not given any real tools to moniter and manage your park, and no management over each individual building. People will complain about things being wrong, but most of the time you are unable to do anything about it since the buildings are pre made (meaning you can't set the prices etc for most of them).
There is no tutorial, but the game is so simplified and has such limited options one isn't really needed. There is no open play, and you are given about 10 missions - which I completed in half a day. Yes, I dragged myself through to the end with blind faith that it HAD to get better. It didn't. I can't believe any game company could publish this and expect people to pay money. If you want a GREAT game about managing zoos and seaparks, try Zoo Tycoon Collection which includes zoo tycoon and the expansions marine mania and dinosaur digs.
The only way I could see someone being satisfied by this game is if they are under the age of 13 and have never played a decent tycoon game. Compared to the others it can't even get off ground level.

Worst game ever.

I bought this game, i am all excited. I just played it for 5 minutes. You can build like 14 things in the whole game. There are no tuturials, there are no cars on the tracks of the roller coasters, the graphics are terrible, the camera goes off by itself, you cant rotate the camera, because there is no toggle, it is way too educational, and is had a horrid layout. The cover and the inside may look cool, but the graphics are not near as good as they say they are, the gameplay is the WORST in any game I have ever played. If you choose not to buy this because of my review, I just saved you 20 bucks well not spent. Buy warcraft iii... that is a good game. Do the mauls online on that. That is fun, unlike this game. A DEFINATE NOT BUY!

Fun Game!

This game really gets you interested in building and managing your own theme park.But also gives you the opportunity to talk with the people who go in the theme park.You click on them and if they want something and are about to leave, you must quickly make it so the person won't leave.You must also make sure you mustn't spend all your money all at once or else you'll be in big trouble!!I recommend this game to kids 8 and up.

Not like the other tycoons I've played.

I just bought this game and I don't even know how to play it, it's nothing like zoo tycoon. You can't even turn the itens around so they all face the front. you can't make a good layout that way. also you have to wait for the research to finish before you even get one animal and I don't think you can build a pen to keep them in anyways. You really can't build anything it's already made up and you just place them down. The concept is great but why didn't they make it similar to zoo tycoon but with the sea world atmosphere.

Not Worth It!

(...)I've been playing RCT1 and RCT2 for a few years. I thought this game would be similar but there's many things I don't like. The graphics are blurry. The rides take a long to start and run for only a short time. The camera view doesn't rotate. (...)
