Gameplay
The game contains mini-games to play along with editing roller-coasters. While the DS version contains only seven mini-games, the versions for other consoles contain over 40 mini-games. The roller-coaster editor is similar to that of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, but all coasters have to start in assigned areas. If the assigned missions are completed, then the player receives thrill points. If enough thrill points are gained, the player can move to the next level.
Reception
The game received mixed to positive reception. Most critics cited that the mini-games are a welcome addition, especially for multiplayer; however, the game has been criticized for its so-so graphics, including the PC and Xbox 360 versions. Critics have also cited some cases of repetitiveness in gameplay.
IGN gave it a 7.9 out of 10, citing improvements over the original saying that, for the most part, the pros outweigh the cons.
Game Informer gave the game a 7 out of 10 verdict, again criticizing graphics.
GameSpot gave a 7.5, stating that "Thrillville: Off the Rails makes every part of building and running a theme park great fun", but the site also disliked the graphics and stated that "Some mini-games won't feel fresh to anyone who played the first game."
