FR have comprehensively solved the theme park MMO design problem. But the price is that you end up with a load of vaguely unrelated theme park minigames and a virtual world in which to access them.

It is fun, and I love the way in which the approach is so consistent. But the actual MMO pieces of it I still find unsatisfying. I’m quite interested to keep playing and see how I feel about it after a month or so, since that’s really where the proof is.

Even though all games have an element of time wasting, FR really does feel like an extended session of tetris sometimes.
