Fun Park Not Very Fun for Adults,
I purchased this mainly because the positive reviews touted the game as fun for all ages. As a thirtysomething adult, I thought that since amusement park and carnival games are still fun to me, the simulations on this game would be too. I was wrong.
I’ve given “Fun Park” about five attempts across two weeks now, and here are four aspects of it that are not fun:
(1) absurdly long loading time for starting and quitting games. The wait time for a game to load is sometimes longer than it takes to play the actual game
(2) The “over 40 thrilling games” are so similar, that claiming 40 different games is misleading and calling them thrilling is clearly a stretch (i.e. you’ve played about three, and you’ve pretty much played them all)
(3) software freezes while saving data, causing you to need to reboot the Wii console in order to restart the game; you will lose data, time, and “fun” during the reboot
(4) Guiding your character around the park is a slow and tedious process. There are dead ends everywhere, and the “hidden surprises” you’ll find basically consist of the same three activities over and over and over again.
Maybe kids will enjoy “Fun Park” more than I did. However, in my experience, children have an even slower attention span than adults. I imagine the long loading time, freezing software, and repetitiveness would bore them at least as much as I was.

|Not just for kids! So funny!,
This game is *really* fun.
At first blush, you’d figure it’s just a kid’s game, but the humor in this game is top notch. It’s like going into a Pixar film expecting a kids movie and laughing out loud many times throughout!
The minigames are a lot of fun, too, and a lot of the humor comes out even in the concepts for the games. My favorite is Alien Slime Attack — you slime little kids with a slime gun so an alien can run over and eat them! (It sounds a lot darker than it is — the whole game is very tongue-in-cheek and absolutely hilarious. Just wait until you see the “Bunny of the Night”!)
Seriously, check out this game. It’s loads of fun.

|Fun for all ages!!!,
As an adult, I had a hard time finding a Wii game I liked – I don’t really enjoy violent games and there’s only so many sports games you can play before you get bored. The alternative, it seemed, was a series of character-based or completely infantile games that were just no fun for me.
Enter Six Flag Fun Park – and it sure is fun!! There are so many different part of the theme park to “explore”, fun ways to interact and surprising games, activities and little “errands” to run. The graphics are excellent, the sound effects are good, and the characters are great fun as a general rule.
The only downside is that there isn’t much in the way of interaction with other “park visitors” and that it’s much easier to accumulate tons of tickets for some games than the coins/money needed for others.
The only other comment I would make is that, while there is a multiplayer option, it’s nowhere near as fun, detailed & interactive as the “adventure” mode.
All in all, I think this is a great game for kids or for adults who are looking for good-natured (aka non-violent) fun.
