The new Theme Park iOS game has come under fire for its ‘freemium’ system. This forces players to play the game for long periods of time to level up and unlock the best bits of the game, or pay to unlock the content early, although the app itself is free to download.

It seems that the unlocks have been lengthened out to push users into paying for the better items in the game. According to one source “a Skull-Train roller coaster” ride will cost users over $60 if they want to unlock it by paying.

Hopefully EA take the message from this and lower their prices and the amount of time it takes to unlock things too, as Them Park was one of our favourite PC games from the 90s.
