![]() ![]() The game looks absolutely gorgeous and I wasn’t even playing on the highest quality. You can change little details like the color of rides and such and that’s what makes playing this game so great you can really make your park feel like your own. You can also landscape with ease by clicking and pulling up and down with the landscaping tool and you can add mountains, hills, water and such. You can pick what kind of track you want, banking, loops, and all at the click of the mouse. Building coasters is very easy but has enough tools to really let you run wild. Like I said earlier the game has Steam Workshop support so you can find thousands of cool shops, scenery, coasters, and other cool things by looking through there. You can make up your own shops with any scenery you have unlocked or use a pre-built one. Now building in this game is pretty cool. The park can get overcrowded fast so making the best use of space is pretty important too. Now with fast rides, guests can get sick and puke all over your pathways but to avoid this a first aid stand can be put up. I truly love the little details in this game like that. Unless you want garbage all over the place its best to have lots of garbage bins placed around the park and the janitors will have to clean them out when they get full. You will have to make sure there is enough food and drink stalls around, and you will be needing a bathroom for them to use. Making more scenery around ride queue will make your guest wait longer in line and pay more to get on the ride. Making sure your guest are happy is also another thing you must keep an eye on. You can hire entertainers to keep guest’s happy and there are a few themes to pick from like a lady pirate and princess to more wacky ones like a cow that bounces around. ![]() The older the ride the more it costs and the ride will be closed for some time while the mechanic fixes things up. To avoid this you can refurbish a ride for a price. As they get older the wear and tear on them build up and will require more frequent inspections. There are executives in real-world businesses that could learn a thing or two from this game… If a staff member gets too upset he or she will quit the job and all the money you spent training them will have gone to waste, so its best to keep them happy. You can train your staff and they will become more efficient, but of course they will also want a raise as their competency increases. You will also have to research new rides, shops, and scenery, and manage staff from the shopkeepers to the janitors. In both career and challenge mode, you will have to watch your money and take out loans if needed in order to finance big projects. Like career mode you have cretin amount of money and the game will make challenges for you to complete as you play. The last mode is challenge mode where you pick the kind of land you want and then build your park from scratch. Luckily the game comes with a few pre-built ‘coasters and the game supports Steam Workshop, so you’re able to download the best efforts from the community if you’re feeling like a cheater. Rollarcoasters are easy enough to make but make them too fast or scary and no one will ride them, and it’s surprisingly tricky to get the right balance. The hardest goals for me were the ones that had you build ‘coasters. These goals range from getting a high enough park rating to making a specific amount of money on ride tickets and so on. In this mode, you are given three parks, each with one theme, and you have to complete certain goals with those parks. That being said, career mode is where you’ll spens most of your time. It’s probably best to start in sandbox, as in that mode all the rides are unlocked from the start, and you have unlimited money to build and experiment, and that’s the best way to learn the ropes to a game that doesn’t bother providing much by way of tutorial. Planet Coaster has three modes of play: career, sandbox, and challenge. Matt’s full review of Tropico 5 on PlayStation. Related reading: For people lookin to build cities rather than theme parks, Tropico is actually a good option. Now Frontier, the development team behind two of the RollerCoaster tycoon 2 expansion packs, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and Thrillville, is back with its finest work to date. Later in life when Roller Coaster Tycoon came out I was old enough to understand what to do and I played the heck out of them all… and managed to avoid bankruptcy in the process. Back then I had no idea what I was doing, I just really liked building my own park and would always run out of money. Ever since I played Theme Park on the Sega Geneses I have been hooked on amusement park simulation games.
