10 TV Sitcoms That Would Make Great Video Games
9. Parks And Recreation
Have you ever wanted to be a small town bureaucrat? If so, Parks And Recreation is the game for you. The player controls a low ranking official in Pawnee, Indiana, tasked with maintaining the town’s plentiful parks. Pawnee is a place in which things like this are taken awfully seriously, and decisions like the addition of a fountain or the naming of a playground can lead to community uproar.
The intricacies of the game come from placating the many colourful folks who call Pawnee their home. There are local business owners looking to protect their own interests, media personalities who seem to have it in for the parks department, and run of the mill weirdos who you’ll need to work to keep onside.
The aim is to keep Pawnee’s parks the envy of the state by keeping things fresh and orderly. You’ll receive support from friendly supervisor Leslie Knope, and indifference from department director Ron Swanson.
It’s a friendly, upbeat game, but one with real responsibilities and disparate interests to balance. As Leslie will keep reminding you, parks are serious business.
