As a man soon to become the father of his first child, I have found myself looking at some very different digital purchases to what I normally would of late. The greatest surprise seemed to be the rising interest in titles I would normally walk past in a heartbeat, or not even notice.

Oct 26, 2012  Moshi Monsters: Moshlings Theme Park – review (by nine-year-old). We had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a review copy of the new Moshi Monsters game for. Oct 30, 2012  Moshi Monsters Moshlings Theme Park. 3DS gamers will pass-and-play against their friends in Streetpass mode and compete for the golden trophy in.

Nov 05, 2012 Moshi Monsters: Moshlings Theme Park video review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow video review of Moshi Monsters: Moshlings Theme Park from Activision for the Nintendo 3DS. Moshlings Theme Park scatters 60 moshlings across a theme park. Based on that title, we would've never expected that. You travel around a magical island while searching for these monsters and playing minigames.

Moshlings Theme Park is one such game (It also stood out due to some great memories of playing Moshi Monsters online when I was much younger). I was a bit taken aback when first learning that a DS title could be made from the Moshi Monsters franchise; but I was pleasantly surprised.

Moshlings Theme Park is a follow up title to Moshi Monsters: Moshling Zoo; which was released less than a year ago and was the Number 1 selling title for the Christmas 2011 period. Big expectations anyone?

The story is quite simple. The Moshlings encounter a slight mishap when a plane goes down in the old Moshling theme park; scattering the Moshlings across the park and destroying the park's attractions. It's up to the gamer to round up the cute little things (60 Moshlings are present throughout the park) and rebuild their park. This is achieved by collecting Rox (Moshi Monsters' form of currency) and buying different attractions, thus unlocking new sections of the park and new mini-games.

Each rebuilt attraction involves a fun, new mini-game. Ranging from air hockey and whack-a-mole to waterslides and rollercoasters, the mini games are a whole lot of fun. Once the mini-games are won, the gamer receives a key to the next locked section of the park.

Aside from mini-games and saving Moshlings, players are rewarded via their online Moshi Monsters account. Visiting MoshiMonsters.com enables gamers to obtain further codes to use with their Moshlings Theme Park cartridge.

The creativity of the title is evident when first loading up the game and kids will love the cutesy graphics.

Moshlings theme park is heavily focused and 100% suitable for children. The games are simple to learn and simple enough to play through. The replay value is also solid with repetitive play of the same mini-game rewarded with better prizes every time.

Along with the mini-games, it is also possible to care for the rescued Moshlings by feeding them, bathing them and playing with them. Completing mini-games whilst caring for the Moshlings is done so without reward, the catch however; the more rescued Moshlings presents greater challenge in beating these mini-games.

Another intriguing feature is the use of StreetPass technology; where gamers of the 3DS version of this title can interact with other 3DS users. This is another great feature and would be highly enjoyable for children of all ages.

At the standard $49.95 pricetag for Nintendo DS and 3DS titles, Moshi Monsters Moshlings Theme Park is reasonably priced and a fantastic addition to any kids video game collection.

The Crappiest Place on Earth.

Moshi Monsters: Moshlings Theme Park is the sequel to the DSgame Moshi Monsters: Moshling Zoo, both of which are based on Moshi Monsters,an online game for children ages 6-12. After successfully managing MoshlingZoo, the Moshi Monsters decide to vacation at Moshling Theme Park.Unfortunately, a storm crashes their plane next to the theme park, which is indisarray. Your goals in this game are to fix the park, drive up attendance,rescue stranded Moshlings, and find Buster Bumblechops, the monster whosuggested visiting the park in the first place.

The problems with this game would make any Moshi Monstercringe. The way it has you go about accomplishing goals is especially suspect.To do anything, you have to play a mini-game. Want to find keys to unlock a newattraction? Play some mini-games. Want to get more monsters to visit MoshlingTheme Park? Play a mini-game. Through playing mini-games you unlock not onlykeys but Rox, the currency of the game. The need to acquire Rox makes ThemePark the first mini-game collection in which you need to grind—though earlyportions of the game do not require it, the further you get, the more Rox thatare required to progress.

Theme Park’s activities are hurt by their sharedrepetitiveness and simplicity. One, Hockey Hustle, is just air hockey; anotherjust involves dropping prizes into score multipliers while avoiding obstacles.While simple can be a good thing, the games are often hampered by poor touchscreen controls, and vary little among themselves.

The game’s progression of unlocking mini-games is alsolimited. In each world, which represents an area of the theme park, you nlock6 mini-games. Instead of accessing all new mini-games in each subsequent world,though, you unlock the same ones with only minor gameplay tweaks that add verylittle. One version of Hockey Hustle, for example, simply adds a moving goal. Youcan also unlock “attractions,” but even these are just a single mini-gameinvolving collecting items; the only difference between versions is the backround.

For a game targetedat kids, Theme Park is pretty easy. The game’s overly simple concepts shouldn’tpresent a challenge for players of any age. A six-year-old will breeze throughthis game; a 12-year-old shouldn’t even bother. The game provides a lot to do,but should only occupy those who can stand its repetitiveness. The 3DS hasplenty of great kid-appropriate games, but this is not one.

Summary

Cons

• Overly repetitive
• Too simple for even the youngest players
