Fun but unrealistic

If you're a fan of the other Tycoon games like I am, you'll probably get a kick out of SeaWorld Tycoon (SWT). Like the RollerCoaster Tycoon series (RCT) and Zoo Tycoons 1 and 2 (ZT), SeaWorld Tycoon allows players to build shows, buildings, snack shops, and rides, and watch their dough roll in.

However, the RollerCoaster Tycoons and Zoo Tycoons are more challenging than this game. For instance, RCT and ZT allow players to alter the land. SWT does not. Guests in RCT and ZT are a lot harder to please and complain a lot more about the prices of things, etc. Overall, SWT is an easy game to master: place some buildings, hire some staff, set your prices sky-high and watch your money pour in, literally. Guests hardly ever complain about anything and won't leave a ride even if the admission price if $15.

On the other hand, detail is very high and it won't slow down your computer. Guests are less generic than in RCT1, RCT2, and ZT1 - there are obese people and they wear more interesting clothes.

So, if you want a break from the other stimulating yet challenging Tycoon games, get SeaWorld Tycoon. Remember the three steps: buy a ride, charge $15 for admission, watch the money roll in. Repeat as necessary.

This game could be better.

I enjoy this kind of game but there is no real tutorial like there should be for people who've never played a game like ths before. There is no pause button that I've seen, so you have to keep playing the game or quit to get it to stop running while you're out of the room and I can't seem to find a way to change the screen view.It's a good game but takes a lot of time to figure out.

Not Bad at All

Okay, although Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania is better, this game is not bad at all. There are two things I do oppose to this game:

Not being able to rotate the screen

Things break down all too often and it gets very annoying. I have to hire loads and loads of mechanics.

Apart from that, this game is OK. If you want a little bit of simple entertainment, buy this game.

lots of fun

I have lots of fun with this game, yes it can be frustrating because you dont really have any kind of guide but its not that hard to figure out.

This is a really fun game. You take care of all your animals and hire all your emploees. If a building is broken you have to call a mechanic and other stuff like that. You can buy a bunch of cool rides and you can choose to start with an empty lot or a partially built park. The only thing is you have only have to build a Shamu stadium and make a good park and that's it. After that you don't have anyhting you have to do. Overall I think this is a really fun game.

Not as fun as I thought

I expected this to be a lot of fun, but it isn't. There's no real guide to the game, so a lot of the little details (how to raise the beauty rating, park rating, buildings broken down, descriptions of different buildings--what they do, etc) has been left out. Freeform is kind of nice, but you can't practice raising the beauty rating. Scenarios are ok, but the intermediate scenarios are a lot harder than they should be. If you really like a challenge, this is for you. But I was expecting a little more.

Please do not buy this game if you are not up to a long time figuring out how to play it.

This game is almost as much fun as Rollercoaster Tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. It is more fun than Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
