This review is from: Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! Expansion (CD-ROM)

RCT3 Soaked is the first expansion pack to be realeased and it solves some problems that have occured in the orginal RCT3. There are loads of new features and they all are very fun. Some of the things that are addressed are the tunnels. Like in the first and second edition, you can build tunnels right through walls. Also instead of having to click on a single person to view their opinions. There is a new button to group them all together like in the orginal RCT. This makes it easier to plan what you need to do to fix problems. The new feature gives you a concensus on peoples opinions. Also the mixmaster has been improved greatly. Now you can add water shows and lazer lights to it too. But the real improvement is the preview screen where you still select it, it will show you a preview of what it looks like. This feature is great since in RCT3 orginal. You had to put the fireworks in the schedule and then preview what it was by playing the whole fireworks segment. This makes it a lot easier to put fireworks together.

The new features in soaked are very good like you can build a water park altogether or add it with our original park so you can have a water park within a theme park. There are slides, flumes, and a river pool or lazy pools. Also a killer shark and dolphin show are here. It's like RCT 3 meets Sea World. There is also a neat shuttle hop on hop off transit shuttle. It looks like Universal Studios Backlot tour vehicles. They can be used as shuttles but you can place ride events like erupting volocano and make a ride out of it. It really makes it seem like the Backlot tour at Universal Studios. Many features plus a couple of new carnival type attractions and beach stores like sunscreen store keep this expansion pack fresh until the next expansion pack in Sept/Oct.

Of course, there is still room for more rides and attractions not yet released in this expansion pack, they are most likely saving those for the next expansion pack.

Great buy of any RCT 3 fan.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! Expansion (CD-ROM)

This game is great, but in some ways it lacks detail. Though it serves it purposes, it needs a wee bit of work.Heres the good and bad( thiis design is partially following after spotlight reviews) of the game

Good:

1. If you like waterslides, youll never want to play RCT3 without this EVER again. It is very addictive, and adds a lot of features.

2. The types of waterslides have variation.Starting from a tubeslide, to a lazy river, to a master blaster,and so on and so forth.

3Pool complexes have nice construction features. Like spas, wave machines etc.

Bad:

1.Although its nice to add a slide to your pool, thats where the slides are ONLY going to go. There is NO slide end runways, or pools JUST for the slide (you could make one, but people would just jump in who have'nt even gone on the slide.) for any of the slides.Excluding the H20 Slide (AKA Master blaster) but then youd have to make it in a complete circut.

2. It seems the peeps have never heard of a speed slide (you know, a tall body slide with one drop). You try making one using the body slide creator and all peeps will absolutley hate it. I havent tried the highest it can go, but trust me. Mine was pretty high.

3. The peeps lack just about any sense of danger. they will just swim right when someone exits a slide in the way they get out. Also when creating a body slide they let you go completely vertical.(like a full 90degrees !)Kinda unrealistic.


This game is definently a winner, despite its flaws.

So, buy it.

The Soaked expansion adds loads of new features to RCT3, including the ability to add water parks, waterfalls, lazer and water shows. There's also many new rides and coasters.

Paticuarly cool is watching the peeps play in teh swimming pools :-)

Anyone who does encounter a problem should visit the Atari forums, the developers are known to hang out there and there's lot of frindly fans to meet.
