THOUGHTS FROM THE GAME REVIEW NETWORK

One of our members had the opportunity to review this game and here’s what she thought.

Cherise @ Mama’s Money Savers – “If you like Theme Park, Roller Coaster Tycoon, or Sim City, then this game is right up your alley. It is so much fun! … I love how you can pick up the game anytime and continue. I haven’t seen any other games like this for an iPhone, other than Sim City, but I am glad I checked out this carnival app. It is easy to pick up and start playing, as the game is a pretty self explanatory tycoon game app. ”
