![]() ![]() Wild! brings zoos and safaris to the game. When using the MixMaster, water displays can be timed to the music. The Soaked! expansion adds water parks which includes swimming pools, water slides and aquariums. This feature allows the park owner to coordinate fireworks in their park, and times them to the music provided in the game. Another addition I enjoyed was MixMaster. This allows you to view one of the coasters and most of the other rides in your park from a first-person perspective. As you complete certain objectives other park options will be unlocked, as well as options for rides, shops, facilities, etc. Starting RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, you can choose from 6 locations, and 3 different locations in both Soaked! and Wild!. This requires building and maintaining rides, adding scenery, providing a variety of shops and facilities, hiring staff, and keeping visitors happy. Career Mode gives you three different ranked objectives. Choosing Career Mode allows you to select between the main title or one of the two expansions. The plot of land is limited, however, and cannot be expanded in this mode. Sandbox Mode allows you the freedom to create a park without monetary limitations. When starting the game you are given two options, Career Mode and Sandbox Mode. Purchasing the Complete Edition provides you with a remastered edition of both the full game and the two expansions that were released for the game Soaked! and Wild!. Having RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 ported to the Switch reinvigorated that excitement, until I played the game. Discovering that I had control over design elements like concessions that provided food, modifying terrain, and choosing what rides and attractions were offered was exciting to me. This was my first experience with a construction and simulation game. RollerCoaster Tycoon was first released for Microsoft Windows in 1999. I was provided a copy of the game by the publisher.Categories: Construction, Simulation, Strategy You can buy RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition on Steam here. It’s just a lazy reskin of the old game, an excuse to put it back on the store if anything. So, if you haven’t already picked the game up on Steam, it’s worth a look, but if you still have the Platinum version from when that was on sale, there’s nothing here worth upgrading for. I mean, I’m not complaining that RCT3 is finally back on Steam, but it would have been nice to see the original developers give it a bit more love, especially considering that they went so far as to call it the “Complete Edition”. They could have added even higher HD support, better textures, or even Steam achievements, but they skipped on all of that and just slapped it back onto Steam. Regardless, it’s still a fantastic game underneath that, but honestly, this is kind lazy on Frontier’s part. It’s honestly just better to think of the game as a reskinned Platinum edition with a new publisher, nothing enough to warrant an outright name change. ![]() That’s it – that’s RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition. The RCT wiki notes faster load times, the removal of the “Atari” cheat code that would make peeps applaud, changed splash screens, and some additional changes on Switch to improve playability. Outside of that single change there’s really not much else to note. As it stands, the UI just gets really tiny the farther you go, making it a bit difficult to play. Fortunately, you can force the game to run at those resolutions by editing the options.txt file within the appdata directory (as was the case with Platinum), but there does not appear to be a way to scale the UI past 1080p. That sounds great until you realize that 1080p is quickly not becoming the norm anymore and the game lacks native support for 1440p or 4K. Let’s start with the major one: the addition of native widescreen support for higher resolutions up to 1920x1080p. So, instead of giving this release its own review, I opted to make this video going over the differences instead. This begs the question though: what exactly has changed other than the title? Well, to go ahead and spoil the rest of the video… almost nothing. Instead of just releasing RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum again though, Frontier released the game as RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition. ![]()
