Picked this up yesterday at Wal-Mart (seeing as it's a Wal-Mart exclusive... *shakes fist*).

FANTASTIC GAME.

I've played the original for the Game Cube, and to be honest I find the controls on this version to be a lot easier to manage. It took a little getting used to, but the controls are quite simple and intuitive.

I'm quite pleased that they took this game in a direction that was different enough to not be stagnant but still similar enough to the old game that it feels familiar.

As far as visuals, the graphics are pretty good for the DS. The camera can be a bit annoying, since you can only rotate it one direction in a circle (meaning if you wanted it one notch to the left, you have to go to the right until you get there, annoying). However, that issue has not been something that screwed with the gameplay.

AS FAR AS GAMEPLAY GOES, all the new features/concepts were pretty easy to figure out, and running a park as a 4" tall robot is quite fun. ONE THING I DON'T GET: it tells me that I get 10+ visitors every day, but I never see anyone come in my park. WTF?...

ANYWAYS...

I haven't played all the way through it, yet, so I'll avoid giving it any sort of rating yet, suffice it to say that I imagine it would be pretty high.
