5.0 out of 5 stars Closer to the game we should have got the first time, November 12, 2003

So they went and broke down and put "Wacky Worlds" in a box together with the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 just as I predicted in an earlier review. (See my review of "RCT2: Wacky Worlds" elsewhere for this prediction.)

This is closer to the game that should have been released the first time. The original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 had some great features that weren't in RCT1, such as a park designer and a roller coaster tester. "Wacky Worlds" adds some more scenarios and some cool scenery. RCT2 has many new scenarios and new rides and attractions. RCT2 also has some new concessions and other new features. "Wacky Worlds" adds some great theming and a few new rides and other attractions.

It's lots of fun. I'm a Roller Coaster Tycoon addict. I have more fun with this game that essentially lets you design your own Disney World than any other in my vast collection of Sim games. The scenarios range from fairly easy to almost incredibly difficult. And the park creator adds a feature that lets you design and build your own "perfect" park.

But this still isn't "complete" by a long shot. Although this package includes the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (see my earlier review) and the "Wacky Worlds" expansion pack, it was introduced at the same time as the new "Time Twister" expansion pack - which is =not= included.

The "Time Twister" disc is even smaller than the "Wacky Worlds" disc. It's only about 70MB on a 600MB disc. "Wacky Worlds" is about twice that. Both of these could be on a single disc and still have room left for newer, fresher material. I'd like to see some more original older park rides like a Tilt-A-Whirl or others that many people see at travelling amusement temporary parks or the local county fair. I've seen rides that boggle my mind at the local county fair, like a small roller coaster that not only goes around in a loop, but the entire loop rotates while the coaster is travelling. A trip to one of the "King's" parks (like King's Dominion or the like) or a trip to Universal Orlando, or, of course, Disney World, is long overdue for creators of this game.

I'd recommend waiting untill they decide they've milked the RCT2 fans enough with this product and really release a RCT2 Combo Park Deluxe package that =might= be worth the effort with the inclusion of "Time Twister" with the original RCT2 and "Wacky Worlds".

But my real recommendation is to wait a little longer and see if there are any plans for even more expansion sets or the eventual forthcoming RCT3.

5.0 out of 5 stars hmm... can't think of a title, August 21, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

Review for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2:
This game is awsome. I love this game. It is so much fun. I can't get enough of it. I love the rollercoaster designer which lets you make your own rollercoasters, the only downside to this game is that there is no mode where you can "ride" your rollercoasters. That would be awsome (Thank god for RCT3 coming out in Novemer!!!!). Still one of the greatest games I've ever played.

Review for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2: Wacky Worlds Expansion:
Hmm... kind of a dissapointment. Ya it says there are new rides and stuff, but what they really did was add tons and tons of scenery to put in your park... I don't really use scenery so it's a useless feature for me. The new rides are just old rides with different looking trains. For example, there is a limosine ride which is just the corkscrew coaster with a train that looks like a limo... hmm... some new ride. I also thought there was going to be a ride your ride type thing but there isn't, just new scenery and scenarios. Also, you don't need the Wacky World disc to play it. So what I would do (which I originally didn't, i recieved this game as a gift) is let your friend or somebody you know spend their money and then borrow it and install it cause you don't need the disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey Atari software developers!, May 24, 2004

James R Guy (La Pine, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Combo Park Pack (CD-ROM)

I loved the game, and still revisit some of my saved parks. I especially loved that it was difficult to learn all the functions of the game, and that the manual was vague on many points. That made the game much more challenging and interesting.
I have some suggestions for RCT3: Record far more crowd sound effects. The only thing that I got sick of in RCT2 was the same gibberish from the same 4 voices the whole time. Just get out and record more crowds PLEASE! Also, it would be great if you had a "be the guest" option. Turn me loose in my own park, and let me go buy burgers, look for a spot on a bench, pick a ride that will make me sick, etc.
