  Building a water park of your dreams!, 2007-08-01
Soaked while its been out for a little while (over a year), added more content to a very good tycoon sim. I feel it doesnt get the attention it deserves both from people who were dissapointed with it as well as the designers who have abandoned the RCT franchise for Thrillville which I think is a bad move.
br / RCT3 came along way with its previous hits RCT2 and the original RCT. The graphics are delightful, the amount that can be chaged to your liking is good as well. The play factor is good, and the retail version was stable considering many titles out there that just had enormous bugs that hurt the game. Granted the original RCT3 had some minor bugs its a wonderful game. It certaintly started the huge flux of tycoon games (starting with RCT 1).
br / In short, you are given the opportunity to build water parks as well as pools, water rides, and theme objects associated with Soaked. You are also now allowed to build underground and thru mountains which in the orginal RCT3 you couldn't. The Soaked expansion adds more scenarios associated with the Soaked theme. Also within the mixmaster you can create laser light shows. I believe you can also create dolphin and whale shows. Something I missed in the orginal RCT when you can place wild west shows and dolphin shows. I only wish we could of had the option of creating statiums or mini-stadiums.
br / Minor problems which havent been addressed. The people known as peeps while their animations are good and almost lifelike, they are a little cartoonish. I also wish that the time would model real-time or at least slow down. Seeing the park get dark and the lights turn on then 3 minutes later the sun comes out is not realistic. If the time was slowed down to mimic real-time we could have the option of fast-fowarding. Also when rides are created or paths as well It would be nice to have the effect of construction going on (allowing areas to be shut down). The mechanics are too slow in getting to do repairs, and when you have a large park its tough to maintain your rides thru inspections and getting them fixed. i wish we had the option of closing the park down to do all repairs and inspections which is what real parks do. None of this 2 full days and bam your into the next week or next month like certain games. Real-time, 365 days in a year and buisness hours would be great. If Im at my computer at 6pm it would be nice to see my park when I load it at 6pm and the sun not as bright. I oculd have an announcement that the park is closing in a few hours and so fourth. Also if you say,"well what about in the winter monthes", a window can pop up and ask if you want to fast foward to opening season.
br / So much can be done, and there is a great foundation, but it's a total shame how Frontier and everyone ese involved has turned their backs on this highly addictive and good buisness model. It's the one tycoon game that got it right. With a little more tweaks and added realism this game can be a huge money-maker and put it along side Civilization 4. I gave it 4 stars because it's a great game but just needs a little bit more. The 4 stars has nothing to do with the company throwing the game to the side for Thrillville. I hope they change their minds and continue what is a terrifc game that needs a little TLC and added realism. I love buisness games as well as strategy games. First thin in my mind when I buy a game is the realization factor.
br / This is one of my favorite games and I still play it along with all of the expansions. Its one of the few games that I havent deleted.
br / The down side o
