Customer Reviews of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Wacky Worlds Expansion Pack
Overrated and Overpriced With this expansion, Roller Coaster Tycoon is getting into questionable territories.
1) The so called "new rides" are actually rides you already have, just with different cars. And the cars is breaking the game away from its realistic nature. For example, you can have "Football" vehicles on your roller coaster. These corny additions are making the game more like Sim Theme Park - unrealistic.
2) Many of the objects, like trees, now take up four squares instead of one. The look and design is different - making it look like a completely different team put together this expansion.
3) The scenarios greatly limit the number of Scenery Themes you can have in your scenario (many only allow ONE). Thus when trying to place a prebuilt coaster, you'll get the message, "scenery Unavailable for this Design" again and again and again.
4) Many of the prebuilt coasters also say that the car design for the coaster is "unavailable" and therefore could affect performance of the ride. Um... hello??? Why put the prebuilt coaster in there if the cars that go with it are unavailable?
5) There are several new bugs that are introduced with this so called "expansion pack". For one, the clear scenery object no longer works on several trees that you must now manually remove before you can place a ride. On some maps, the scrolling feature is [messed]up, making it so that you can't scroll to certain areas of the park.
6) Another new annoyance and limitation is that on the majority of the scenarios, they don't allow you to use the landscape tool at all! They might as well remove it from the game!
Wacky Worlds is a very disappointing Expansion Pack and if it is an indication of things to come, then the Roller Coaster Tycoon franchise is in a lot of trouble as corny cartoony items replace realism and limitations replace fun. I'm almost to the point where I'd like to see Microsoft's Zoo Tycoon team take over this game because the current makers are doing it no justice.
Eek!
Time Twister even beats this one for the RCT 2 Expansions. This is not-well designed. Also, the map of your park is so primative. Can't you take screenshots -- or better yet, the game does it for you -- and assemble a map instead of orange lines on a dotty surface?
The game adds NO and I promises NONE new rides, just new "themes" for existing ones. For example, "Neptune" ride is really a new-vehicled Twist and you'll see it has the same ratings (for) Excitement, Nausea, Intensity.
I think (but this applies to the whole RCT 2 line) that the game leaves much to be desired.
Wacky Worlds simply is not there. Not close. We get scenarios like "build around the Great Wall of China". How stupid is that? Honestly? And then, we have an Eifel Tower scenery but no park to center it! It's just weird.
Not really worth the buy.
RCT takes a step backwards
I love a good rollercaster snaking through the trees, and in RCT2 it was a great enhancement from RCT1 that you could build a coaster and have the trees automatically removed as you add track. So why would that functionality be removed from the expansion, Wacky Worlds? I don't want to spend my time removing trees, I want to build coasters. If you enjoy frustration and wasting your time, skip Wacky Worlds and go right for Tree Removal Tycoon!
