Thats right, the second edition of the game which sold more than 4 million copies to North America alone is back! The graphics look more refined, more rides have been added, incredible scenery from the screenshots provided and a feature which so many of us wanted, the ability to create and move entrances!
But in all this hipe, will it be all that worth while buying? Well yes if you are obsessed with the original or just like the ability to have added features and rides, but ask yourself, how will it be significantly different and better?? It cant be much more different, as how can you alter the original game and still say its a new and improved game?
Well some interesting features they could include would be a revised scenario editor and a scenery editor. I mean, why not? Just like the simcity editor, you could create scenery to fit your imagination or park style. Even more so would be the addition of animated scenery, like for example, you could create the fire throwings burst oil container from thorpe parks 'tidal wave' in the uk, or the flowing rivers of purple liquid on 'nemesis' at alton towers, uk too. This would make your park so much more original and personal too. They could also include an editor for the ride cars or ride buildings. You could put smiley faces or even your own logo on the front of a rollercoaster car, or change say the roof of the merry-go-round to your own picture, imagine the possibilitys there.
Another significant thing they left out in the first, was the family! Most people who you see these days in theme parks are with there familys! And in RCT, just random one party people entered your park, no pushchairs or wheelchair users, no screaming little children or tired old folk. That would add more originality and improvment to the game, you could even have a day care centre or buggy hire building for example. Also like most parks, they should include say an arcade room with games and machines to rake up your profits, prize stalls to win or buy toys (like the souvenir stand), and like every park, a theme show! Every park i have been too has some kind of show, whether it has a giant killer whale in it, or a flaming diver, some show should be added of that nature. Also like thorpe park and a park i recently visited abroad, they should include a mini beach and tidal wave machine, so you can see people in there bikinis and shorts ride the waves, and splash out on the water type rides. Finally why is there just an entrance, why arent there ticket booths or car parks for the arriving people to go through, yes, why isnt there any transport?? No one walks down a long path to a park, they arrive in cars and tour buses, this should be added to, as waiting for the little people to walk up a long path in RCT is annoying.
If any of these will be included i dont know, but i will update it.
