RollerCoaster Tycoon World vs Zoo Tycoon
RollerCoaster Tycoon World
RollerCoaster Tycoon World is possibly the worst RollerCoaster Tycoon game ever and this is completely ironic because this game comes after the insane success that is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The thing about this game is that the gameplay itself isn't exactly that bad. It simply offers players more of the same stuff - place attractions including amazing prebuilt rollercoasters though you can build coasters yourself as well, set up facilities and paths for your visitors, adjust the pricing and sit back and watch the money roll in. RollerCoaster Tycoon World feels a lot like a massive city building games, SimCity and City: Skylines where "congestion" can occur if you do not lay enough paths for your visitors to walk on, especially for high traffic areas around incredibly popular rides.However, things went to the dogs once your park starts to attract a ton more visitors. For a game that's not exactly graphically-heavy, your frame rate will plummet and everything will move in glitchy slow motion, making the game literally unplayable. For an established franchise like RollerCoaster Tycoon, this poor optimization of the game's performance is outright disappointing. Worst yet, apparently the developers have given up completely on the game, not bothering to even fix the problems that every single player encounter. Of course, that's not including the huge amount of bugs, some of which are game-breaking, that this game is infested with.
Thus, to sum up, if you want to enjoy a fun amusement park tycoon game, you might want to opt for any of the other RollerCoaster Tycoon games except this one.
Zoo Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon is a zoo simulation game where you can build and decorate your very own virtual zoo and fill it with a wide variety of common and exotic animals, be it a herbivore, an omnivore or a carnivore. You'll also need to provide these animals with the proper enclosure, hire zookeepers to tend to their needs, and build facilities for the zoo's visitors so they'd have a great time there, and hence, spend more cash. There are plenty of ways for you to really customize your zoo, from the paths you build and the benches you place. You can even control how much to charge your visitors... this is after all, a real tycoon game.If you adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and you happen to enjoy playing tycoon games, you'll want to take a look at Zoo Tycoon. The game's not THAT old yet so its graphics is still pretty bearable, but if you got the Xbox version, you'll be super delighted at the visual upgrade that Microsoft has added to the game.
