I'm sorry to say, but I'll have to quick fail this article's GA nomination. Just from a cursory glance, this article needs some serious work. Here's just a few issues:
- The lead is way to short. It needs to summarize the entire article, which means including gameplay, development, and the reception in the lead. The current lead has none of those. Killer Instinct Gold is a good article to use as a model.
- The gameplay section is also way to short. It fails to explain how the game works. We know that you make theme parks, but how exactly do you do that? Do you choose theme park rides? Are you given a budget? Are there optional objectives you can do? We don't even know how you move around.
- Again, the development section is too short and doesn't go in depth as to the actual development. Try looking at this very lengthy interview for starters].
- The reception section is well, you know what I'm about to say in terms of length. While the reception section does mention what the reviewers liked and disliked in their individual reviews, the section is not cohesive. Again, try Killer Instinct Gold or Rare Replay to see how to go in depth as to the specifics about the game. It doesn't have to be Rare Replay length, but hopefully you get the idea.
I didn't check whether this was just a drive by nomination, but if the nominator was the main contributor, I highly recommend checking out some other video game GA articles to see what you need to do. The entire Rare Replay topic is a fantastic place to start, as all 31 articles are either at GA or FA status, and the majority of the articles were promoted less than a year ago. Also, if you need any assistance, feel free to ask me on my talk page, or if you want assistance from several prominent editors, feel free to ask on the WikiProject Video games talk page.Famous Hobo (talk) 21:44, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
