- Join us on another episode of Expedition Virtual Theme Park.
This time we look at one of the not just worst Theme Park video games but worst GameCube games with Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure. This game inspired from Adventures In The Magic Kingdom would let players walk around Universal Studios Japan while taking part in different mini games. Luckily it was remade into a much better version.

DO SIXFLAGS FUNPARK!
"You need to watch more movies." You need to go to the trash can, Woody.
Ahh
That quote is ironically an inside joke with me and my friend
Ha ha ha haaaaaaa
That's funny. LoL You need to watch more movies
That would drive me crazy
"The whole experience can be completed in less than 5 hours." The current WR for the game is just short of 45 minutes.
I was being generous :P
“You spend most of the time falling off the bike” 😂😂😂
Poor ET 😭😆
That’s hilarious but don’t make it happend in real life.
Why of all Characters woody woodpecker as the guide? This isn't Brazil.
Oh poor poor woody
P i c a P a u
Well it might have been the Japanese’s decision since this is universal Japan
Hey, Woody the Pecker of Wood is cool!
Pica Pau 😂 i remember watching that as a kid in Brazil on TV every morning on holiday
As a kid though, I would have found it extremely cool to free roam around the park to be fair.
The best part is walking around the parks.
I feel like with virtual reality technology improving this kind of concept needs to be revisited. And I love the idea of games like this, just a shame they all mostly suck.
Yeah!
I think this was the original plan for Defunctland IIRC, to recreate VR versions of extinct attractions.
Those segments in which you showed yourself repeated pushing the A button - you looked completely different than from what I imagined 😂 don’t think I’ve ever seen a face reveal on this channel before lol
Hahah if you look hard you can find me now and then 😄
Agreed. The glasses I expected but somehow I expected you to be a skinny little dude. Not to stay you're heavy or anything, just definitely different than I imagined :)
I'd like to see a Disney Imagineering game that didn't seem to have an awful lot of coverage: From 2001 - Ultimate Ride. A great little build-your-own coaster simulator.
Sum of All Thrills.
I feel like Disney is really missing the boat on virtual theme park games.
Play the Disneyland Xbox one game. It was orginally made for the Kinect but they updated it to work with normal controllers and I love it. Very detailed and alot to unlock and do.
Definitely agree with you on that and we’re also missing is the rides we definitely need some rides in a Disney theme park not entirely of mini games.
@@pauleckert4321 There was actualy a Disneysea game. Which seems to be more of an adventure game, using Disneysea's themeing as a backdrop, than a park simulator
@@pauleckert4321 I'm grateful for your post. I bought that game and gave up because I don't have enough room for the Kinect to really register someone in front of it. Had no idea they updated it to work with controllers. Thanks.
There's a mobile game called Disney Magic Kingdoms, where you build your own Disney parks.
5:27 I've never heard anyone say Melee that way.
I'm weord
@@ExpeditionThemePark Lol
That remake is absolutely fascinating! I didn't know about it when we did some research for our video on this game.
I'm slightly blinded by nostalgia for it, so I gotta try out this sequel now.
That game is really fun to scream at. I still have it in complete in box.
Me too!
@Harry Brown What makes you think that will contain it's evil?
Oh, sweet! This looks interesting and cool! (hears Woody Woodpecker’s demonic game voice within the first minute) KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!
Hahaha
0:45 That dino looks possessed. Ah yes, falling off your bike. The alternate ending of ET. It’s not retro but I hope you talk about Six Flags Fun Park. It’s on the Wii and DS
Will take a look!
12:38 - I'm dyin here. That look. That's all of us playing every game that ever required your fingers to go numb.
7:00 so are we not going to talk about how Oswald The Lucky Rabbit is in the game long before the trade-in with a sports caster and Epic Mickey
Well we all know Oswald is Walt Disney first creations. But some how it was own by universal before epic Mickey.
@@joshuatimecartoon4305 Walt lost rights to Oswald which lead to the creation of Mickey Mouse and most of the copyright laws Disney have to this day.
The History of It's Though to be a Bug at Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney California Adventure.
Good idea!
Might be a bit short
The most interesting part of this for me is how much USJ has changed since this game! Most the areas are still recognised as the same but so many different attractions
Just wanna mention it again: You play as a CHILD that SHOOTS dinosaurs, gets almoust eaten by a shark, underaged drives the dolorian and rescues people in a BURNING building.
Cool. Absolutely child friendly.
Gotta love how they didn't even _try_ to draw inspiration from the rides. I mean, jeez - _everyone_ knows that the Jurassic Park/World rides are water based (I for one, even as a kid, was baffled by this since the movies have the iconic jeep, but whatever). So of course they decided to ignore that entirely and make a mini-game with the jeep :P You had ONE job, Kemco.
This was awesome - I'm 100% onboard you looking at theme park based video games every so often. This is the first I've heard about the Japanese PS2 remake, and wouldn't you know it? I got a JP region PS2 just a few months ago and am currently, slowly, building up a collection. I think I'm gonna hit up eBay for a copy of that one now that I know _it exists._ Thanks for showing that off! :D
If you have to look at any more JP imports (I know there's a Mickey Mouse Tokyo Disneyland game for the SNES/Super Famicom for instance, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a "theme park video game"), you should give some translation apps a shot. I can't imagine any theme park video games having a ton of text, and while they're certainly not perfect, I've gone through a number of decently "wordy" games recently using Google Translate Camera to get my bearings and piece together the story/characters. Might prove useful for you in the future, ETP ;)
great suggestion! With this one i actually ran out of time
Your inner AVGN is showing, Expedition.
Pfft, he didn't swear nearly enough.
THIS IS IT! THE DAY HAS COME GAMERS!
I know you have been waiting for this! Ha
This game had a lot of potential, but it feels like a PS1 game with slightly better textures.
It is haha
The way you said the worst gamecube games does say something.
Yesss
Holy crap, I remember playing this.
Hearing Woody at the start brought back memories
"Some of the games were clunky" I can tell you from the hours i put into that magic kingdom game as a kid, all of them were clunky. Disney Adventures in the Magic Kingdom is just not a good game.
i was being kind ha
OG KH before KH?
Great video I laughed so much at the falling off the bike on ET 🤣
This April Fools Day we need an Expedition episode on the highly praised and revolutionary dark ride, “ Mr. Bones Wild Ride”.
I liked it. The BTTF mini game was the closest I’ll ever get to the ride. They should remake this with the new rides. Also can you talk about Disney’s magical racing tour?
It had its moment but not worth full price. It's only my lost for the future!
Oh my God I've completely forgotten about that game
Yes I loved Disney's Magical Racing! I never played Mario Kart before it, so never realised it was a rip off! 😂
And some of the old rides as well. In fact, if a remake, built from the ground-up, ever gets off the ground, I have some ideas in mind for _King Kong_ and _Ghostbusters._
So it's basically a game where you have free admission into a theme park by being a janitor then buying a hat as a front of the line pass. Don't give these companies any ideas
I got so triggered when I heard "You need to watch more movies" because I never did well on that quiz back in the day
That Oswald at the puzzle part in 7:00 lol Its funny that he appears more in a Universal game that used him ZERO when he was their property than Disneyland Kinect Adventures when Disney got it back lol
This episode was awesome! Keep the virtual ones coming :)
Thank you!
10:18 Yeah... I don’t trust that fella.
Me neither!
I failed the quiz 1 time on the question: How many acres is Universal Studios Japan? And then it said you need to watch more movies. Like bruh
“You need to watch more movies!!”
I say no.
"You need to watch more movies!"
Me: "You need to make a better game"
I'm more mixed by the fact that Winniy asks the player a question about Patch Adams, a movie that has an infamous reputation for being non-accurate nor true to the real story of the real doctor
I remember playing this game during High School when it first came out.
Can't' recall if I had purchased it, or rented it.
But remember I had to use the Turbo on my controller to beat the Jurassic Park level.
I think I mostly wanted to play it for the BTTF stuff.
Never before had a game made me hate woody woodpecker even more
Poor woody haha
"fixed camera"
This is supposed to be Thrillville! Not Silent Hill!
This game made me cry when I was like six because I wanted it so bad because I could relive universal studios but I could not figure out how to get on more than one ride before the "line was too long."
I have never been more upset in a game as a kid.
23:32 my dude buff as hecc
I love hearing the end title songs on this series. Brings back so many memories!
Yet again another thoroughly enjoyed video! A nice surprise today :) the unimpressed face really made it!
Haha thank you. I was debating leaving that in or not
Expedition Theme Park great choice! Had me laughing 😂
Loved the video, you should do one on the super bizarre “Six Flags Fun Park” for the Nintendo Wii
Ok how weird is a car doing a stunt on a top of a dinosaur.
Happy 4th of July, Expedition Theme Park!🇺🇸🎆🎇
Happy 4th of July!
According to my thoughts when I heard about this game and watched footage from it, the player characters should have been based on adults because of most of the attractions that are based on Universal films that are not suitable for younger children, that is what the developer should have done. Furthermore, the developer should have called this game Universal Studios Japan Adventure because since it is titled Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure, it might confuse American gamers with the two American Universal parks.
It's not really a game, but a program in the 90's called Walt Disney World Explorer. Long before the internet it was so much fun for me as a kid exploring the theme park. Hopefully the update and bring it back.
You should do a video on kinect disneyland adventures
I will
My little brother rented this game from Blockbuster back in 2001 without having absolutely no idea what it was about. We just bought the GameCube and wanted something new to play. Biggest mistake we made. It was probably one of the worst video games we ever played! 😝
Woody woodpecker's video game voice sounds like a freakin minion
In Peanutbuttergamer’s video titled“ Top 10 WORST GameCube games” This game was featured in his list. I can see why loads of hate has been stuffed into this game.
Yes ha
It sucks that games like this are bad because the idea of a video game replica of a park that's not accessible to everyone is good.
Not to mention the inherit value of having a virtual replica of the park for preservation of sorts as a time capsule.
A very rare appearence by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit before he went back to Disney 7:00
I remember playing this game as a kid and it was such a fever dream. I think I eventually got fed up with Woodie and his obscure movie trivia and eventually just gave up because I do not remember seeing some of those minigames or ever wanting to play that thing to completion.
The intro is now legendary! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Kemco, the company that made Batman Dark Tomorrow. Oh no.
19:15 - Hey, I got to see some fireworks today after all! ✨🎆😋👍🎇🎉
Still campaigning for Nuka World from Fallout 4! Also I don't know if you can find it, but when I was a kid I had a Rollercoaster Tycoon like game that had you build your own Sea World parks.
Hmmm not sure what one that is!
@@ExpeditionThemePark the Nuka World one? Its from the game Fallout 4 and its makes fun of Disney World with a 1950's spin. I'm not sure what the Sea world game was called. I just remembered only playing it about 2 times, then going back to Rollercoaster Tycoon because I had tons more fun with it.
Seaworld Adventure Tycoon? I loved that as a kid. It was definitely different from RCT, but I thought it was just as good!
I mean, of course there needs to be a fireman in every section. Do you want a repeat of Kongfrontation to happen?
Super Smash Brothers "m-e-lee" 😂😂😂 @5:25
I remember when Disneyland was advertising the Kinect as this brand new innovation in technology, and had demos of Kinect Animals. We bought a Kinect and every game for it at the time, including the Disneyland one. My friend and I could barely move forward, spent more time trying to get the sensor to register anything other than out arms, and spent our entire time playing it in the same spot just staring at the castle in the back. Hearing you talk about it will definitely be fun.
Thanks so much for this amazing video, I learned so many things about the Universal Studios videogame. I know everyone speaks so bad about this game, but as a theme park enthusiast I love it. I would play it on my Nintendo GameCube every time I would miss Universal. I didn’t know there was an updated version for PS 2, I wish it would have been released in the US! Can’t wait to see the video about Disneyland Adventures for Xbox, which been playing a lot during the pandemic every time I would miss Disney parks. Btw, talking about videogames based on theme parks there is a great one called Disney Magic Kingdoms for Apple and Android :)
I had this game as a kid. It was Horrendous… however I gotta wonder, What would a Halloween Horror Nights version be like? I honestly think that would be kinda rad. Like maybe have Woody Woodpecker be replaced by Icons like Jack The Clown, The Director or the Caretaker, and give it some survival horror elements. Maybe theme minigames around Haunt Mazes, either original concepts, The Icons and or based on Iconic horror movies like Chucky, The Universal monsters or Killer Klowns from outer space… hell it was produced by Konami so there’d have to be a Silent Hill themed minigame. I mean hell, a lot of game cube games like Animal Crossing and Pokémon Channel did incorporate the game Cube’s built in clock and calendar for certain features and even event, same with the Wii, so if the devs wanted to be cute they could’ve programmed it to switch to Halloween Horror Nights if you decided to play the game in October, although that could’ve effected the game’s Rating… Idk just thinking out loud… in text
Nobody:
Woody Woodpecker: yOu nEeD tO wAtCh mOrE mOvIeS
Kinda surreal that Woody Woodpecker in this game was voiced by Eric Kelso, who also did the voice for JACKY BRYANT beginning in Virtua Fighter 3. I love both characters but I think WWP: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park would've been better if it was ported to the Gamecube.
He also voiced Biff Tannen in the game, too.
Also, I'm quite surprised Yoshikawa from Animation Celebration never showed up. He was my favorite character in Universal Japan! Too bad they killed him off once they got rid of Animation Celebration.
This is straight out of hell, looks like Disney started this crap to harm Universal. xD
I remember playing this game back when I was a kid, think i still have it actually. I remember having fun with it... for about 2 hours then I beat the game
7:00 was this back before Universal traded Oswald to Disney for a sportscaster?
"Back to the Future: The Ride Puts You in the seat of the....."
MAN-Delorean
This is the way.
I'm surprised a game this bad was published by a lover of RPGMaker-looking titles and not Universal Interactive. Seriously, Check Six Studios could attest to just how awful of a publisher they were. I think it's fair to say the best thing about this game is Oswald's cameo. So the Jurassic Park mini-game is a poor remake of the arcade game. Interestingly enough, all the male voices were done by a voice actor named Eric Kelso (Virtua Fighter, Tekken, F-Zero GX, and more) and all the female voices were done by Bianca Allen (Shenmue, Bloody Roar 3, Virtua Fighter 5, and more).
Is USTPA really any worse than Batman: Dark Tomorrow, Trigger Man, Charlie's Angels, or Aquaman: Battle For Atlantis? That's some steep competition, especially that first one since the players who managed to finish it were almost certainly greeted with an alternate ending because the game never game even an inkling of how to get the true ending.
This game is so good, yet so difficult. especially cause the audience they intended to play would mostly be children. But I LOVE this game and recommend playing it even if mostly everyone else hates it ! 😂😂
Funny thing is I actually really love this game. Jurassic Park Jeep Ride and Back to the Future the Ride we're really fun. I really wouldn't mind seeing Universal release something like Disneyland Adventures
So cute what you did with the intro. ^_^
You should review Walt Disney: World Quest: Magical Racing Tour for Playstation! One of my favorite games as a kid
Efteling Tycoon was basically the biggest scam in dutch themepark history.
When it comes to having a new Theme park game, I would love to see/play a new and updated Disneyland (or rather) Disney World Adventures. I would also like a new and also update Universal Studios game.
There was a Six Flags game in like 2007 or something. It would be nice to do one on that.
This was my favorite game on GameCube! Awesome video, I still play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and other theme park games so this is an awesome epedition series. Some of the mini-games were nightmare fuel.😂
Really appreciate the video, I’ve now gone and purchased the PS2 game online as my PS2 is region free. Look forward to giving it a go as I own the dire GameCube game.
I owned the Magic Kingdom Adventures game (and Disneyland Kinect) but this is the first time I've heard of this one. I'd kinda lowkey love to see a rerelease of something like this on modern systems now.
I remember the intro to this game showing all of the different rides had a bunch of flames pop up, and I thought, "Wow, they're bringing up how most of the backlot burnt down? That's fucked up." before realizing it was a reference to backdraft.
That remake looks awesome! Exploring the park with a controllable camera looks like a lot of fun
I guess walking around collecting trash would be better than standing in virtual lines for an hour
"Hey, Winona get a new brain, 'cause yours ain't working!"
This looks like a poor mans cross between Alone in the Dark/Resident Evil and Theme Park/Rollercoaster Tycoon.
Theres a Six Flags game for the Wii. I've only played the smallest amount of it because I had to make sure it worked as we bought it used for my brother. It would fit in this expedition too.
Will check it out!
It's called Six Flags Fun Park and from Ubisoft. Has a copyright year of 2009
“You need to watch more movies” is one thing that’s true about me.
Oh yes, as a man who's religion is the GameCube, I do not speak of this "thing" hell even the Angry Video Game Nerd played it
I’d love a game made by Disney or Universal that actually was a 1:1 recreation and you could just go on rides or drive to the parks or stay in a hotel. It would be fantastic.
What there is a theme park game worse than rollercoaster Tycoon world???
Hmmmmm not sure it's that bad
Yes, it is called rollercoaster tycoon story
For some reason I remember playing a game very similar to the Jurrasic Park game on a cabinet in the basement of a beach rental when I was very young, did it ever have a release outside of this?
That first Roller Coaster game shown brought back so many memories! Loved that game!
I love playing this game so much, even though its literally one of the worst games I’ve ever played. The game system is so broken, but I feel like it just makes it all the more enjoyably challenging. My friend and I un-ironically play this game still and joke about it all the time.
IT'S ME I'M THE FRIEND 😂😂😂
HI LAURA ! 😄😄💖💖
You should check out Universal Studios Roblox! By far the best and most fun digital 3D theme park on the internet! Not to mention the other countless Roblox theme parks! Many are great including Magic Kingdom Theme Park and Disneyland Wales. I would check them out as they are loads of fun to just walk around and to of course ride rides and even watch shows! Thanks again for another great video and keep up the great work!
They will need to release a new version this year. USJ is adding a Super Mario World section to the park and playing this game that then lets you play Super Mario would be epic.
while the game is absolute trash, I still have some nostalgic love for it lmao
I had a Disney world games back around 1997 and it was more like a informational guide about the History of the park. Your guide was a woman dressed up like one of the guest relations tour guides. You know blue hat plaud skirt; kind of looked like an equestrian.
