Anybody else pick this up yet?  It's pretty fun overall - there are just a few issues that I'm having:
The people seem to get sick much more often than they did with the PC version - they didn't add the ability to rotate shops/rides which would have been really nice - and you can only save one game at a time (kind of expected that one though).

Graphics are actually really nice - the fact it's based on an older (low res) game made it transfer well to the DS screens - very clean, viewable graphics.  The advisors are a nice touch too - gives it a bit more personality than just a status bar or news ticker.

I'd say that once you get good at placing janitors to take care of the vomitting issue it's a good game.  It's a notch above Zoo Tycoon but still has some glaring issues.

Haven't tried Simcity yet though - it may be my next purchase (although Nervous Brickdown and NYTimes Crossword may beat it to my wallet!)

First park I started went about 40k in the red within about 20 minutes.  Then I quit.

I tend to skip tutorials :blush:

Yeah I've had the game for a while now, and it's definately superior to Zoo Tycoon.

I have Sim City on the way ... hoping it to be decent but my expectations aren't too high.
