Summary

A worthy Expansion

The Good

More varied Scenario Objectives. No longer the Park Value or Guests (although they are still there...) you now have open-ended time objectives such as "get 2000 guests in the park, dont let your park rating go bellow 700, and no money requirements" to "complete the 5 partialy built roller coasters, with exitement above 6.60" and "have a monthly ride income of 9,000 or more". The Scenario selection screen is much improved, you no longer need to scroll down forever to get to the original set of scenarios, or that recently downloaded one, their just a *tab* away. More Landscapes, more Ride-Types, and you can standardise the price of items throughout your park

The Bad

Well, I dont know if this effects everyone, but the version I bought only incuded US-English language, and not the UK-English that I got in the previous discs. A shame, but not life threatening. The Research Engine needs an overhaul (its just too plain slow), and the negociating-with-staff and buying-stock-for-shops that we once had in the Original Classic "theme Park" is much missed. The Set-Price-across-park function has a huge bug in it (because if you build a new shop that sells an item that you already standardise the price of, the price changes immesly. The Load Time is also much longer than before.

The Bottom Line

Its RCT, but Bigger. Just wish it was even bigger, and they'd update the site more often.
