It wouldve been nice if the selected elementcharacter were highlighted better too.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Series That BeganLike many popular PC series that began in the 90s, this one eventually made the transition to 3D as RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, exactly what we have here today on Nintendo Switch with the Complete Edition.As the first entry in the 3D realm, RCT3 took the core elements of its predecessors and gave them a new lease on life, along with some (at the time) new features.But now that its been 16 years since its initial release, does this iconic gem of a tycoon sim still shine today. Youre given the task of either running existing amusement parks or creating your own from scratch. The building mechanics simply involve you plopping down pathways for guests to walk on, vegetation and scenery objects to make everything look good, and, of course, rides to keep the spirit of fun flowing. As the name suggests, coaster building is the main attraction, but you can also design other rides such as a go-kart track or jet ski course, for example. For the truly adventurous, you can even go ahead and design entirely new looks for guests and even custom buildings to further give your parks that personal touch. Though, you can always pop into a pre-built scenario to simply expand upon whats already there. Regardless, its bound to sap away your time one way or another as you get sucked into the satisfying rhythm of seeing your guests cheer and leap with the more rides you add and layouts you design. For example, you need to have a good number of restrooms put in logical locations. Even small details like having enough trash bins are essential to keeping things running smoothly. Fun All of this requires money though, and it can get expensive quickly. So, theres strategy involved as well as you need to make sure that your park doesnt get stale. That way, more guests will be attracted and profits will rise. Guests take note of just about everything, from wait times to scenery design, so having an eye for logic as well as creativity is good for business. All of the content from that package has been reproduced here, including the full Soaked and Wild expansions. Those two expansions give park builders a healthy amount of new gameplay depth to explore. ![]() Including awesome water slides, swimming pools, and other watertropical-themed elements, Soaked makes for an excellent addition on top of the core park building tools that are included in the base game. But as some gamers are beginning to realize when revisiting older games these days, some mechanics just dont age very well. With that said, while Ive found RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 to be really fun (and slightly addictive), it does make me wish some improvements had been made. And not being able to copypaste the same building is a bit of an annoyance. You also cant undoredo your last move, which makes fixing mistakes a little more tedious.
