lots of fun [Posted on 2005-08-19]
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.

Fun Game [Posted on 2005-09-11]
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.

Fun but unrealistic [Posted on 2005-12-21]
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.

Not Bad at All [Posted on 2006-02-11]
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.

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