Verdict

The call

Overcrowded and Theme Park Rush both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Overcrowded's written reviews are positive against 26% of Theme Park Rush's. Overcrowded also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 1.8K). Theme Park Rush's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
