Smile Thrillville From LucasArts

Hello everyone,

My name's Chris, and I work for LucasArts helping to promote Thrillville. I'm going to try and check back here every day until the game's release on Nov. 21 (maybe even later), and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

A few things to note:

The official website is http://www.thrillvillegame.com

And here are a couple of videos about Thrillville:

http://gamevideos.com/video/id/6759
http://gamevideos.com/video/id/7108

And if you're wondering how it relates to the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, the developer Frontier has done an excellent job establishing itself as a premier developer of theme-park games with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and its expansion pack. It continues this excellent pedigree with Thrillville, but in an entirely different way. Unlike RCT3, which has thrived on the PC platform, Thrillville has been designed from the ground up as a console game, including a different way of handling all building mechanics, plus more console-friendly activities such as minigames. At the same time, the game is in no way a "dumbed-down" version of a PC theme-park experience -- it's just a totally different approach.

Best,
Chris

Looks pretty cool! I'll have to convince my little bro to get it because he has all the video games.

Looks just like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 - PC or not.

Well unless I win the contest I unfortuntly won't be getting it because I don't have an Xbox. But it looks like a really fun and awesome game.

As of right now, no. As with any other original Xbox game, it's purely in Microsoft's hands as to when they provide an update that will make the game compatible. We hope it's soon!

Some original Xbox games work, such as Halo and Halo 2.

Yep...lots of LucasArts games too. We just hope Microsoft chooses to make Thrillville one of those soon! :-)
