This is the sequel to Rollercoaster Tycoon that players wanted.Īs fans had expected, customization is the bread and butter of the entire Planet Coaster experience, and that's clear right from the get go: Frontier Developments has made just about every aspect within each park customizable, from the actual shapes and textures of scenery and rides, to triggered laser effects, or even how many spin cycles an attraction goes around for. Players will be able to build almost anything they can imagine, and by doing so soon the paths of the park will become full of hundreds of patrons, each with their own plans, thoughts, preferences, and expectations. The world is the player's oyster - they can create hell incarnate, or recreate Hogwarts from the ground up. It's oddly befitting of the game, which goes out of its way to show how hectic things can get in theme parks.

As it turns out, Frontier Developments' Planet Coaster stacks up very well against the more established competition, providing a polished and highly customizable experience that mixes things up much in the same way Cities: Skyline did.Īs players enter the land of Planet Coaster, they'll be met with Frontier Developments' mascot crazily running around. With the arrival of Planet Coaster this November, the clash of the titans has finally arrived: both Planet Coaster and its obvious rival Rollercoaster Tycoon World launched this month, leaving many theme park simulation fans wondering which game represents the best value for their buck. Frontier Developments has produced a fine theme park simulator with Planet Coaster, a polished title which keeps things fun, fast, and consistently entertaining.
