Get set for the Prehistoric Fun Park

You don't have to be Neanderthal to work here... but it helps!

Get set for the Prehistoric Fun Park

We mustn't have been paying attention in our GCSE History lessons. We always thought cavemen spent their time building fires, slaying mammoths, and scratching incomprehensible drawings on the walls just to frustrate future archaeologists.

But no. It seems that Neanderthals were just as fond of whooping it up on rollercoasters as us 21st centurions. At least, that's the message in THQ Wireless' upcoming game, Prehistoric Fun Park.

If you've ever played PC/console game Theme Park, well, Prehistoric Fun Park seems a lot like that, except with more loincloths.

Your job is to build a prehistoric theme park to keep your fellow cavemen and cave-ladies happy. You get to pick from 25 different rides to build, while complementing them with shops and other attractions. You hire and fire staff, and the overall aim is to wipe the floor with four rival theme parks.

There'll be three modes – Campaign, Competition and Free Play – and five different maps to play on. It sounds intriguing to us, so click 'Track It!' for an alert when we get our hands on the final game.
