RollerCoaster Tycoon World vs Tropico 3
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.
Tropico 3
Tropico 3 lets you assume the role of a dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. Decide the leadership path youd like to take and become a benevolent leader or a merciless one... or someone who is somewhere in between. Despite your dictatorship, there will still be elections or at least illusions of one where you can slander your opponents and make empty promises just to secure crucial votes. Regardless of the facade of it all, you will still need to take into account of the opinions of your Tropicans. This time around, you can even get involved in world politics at a time in history when the world hangs on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse, and play the superpowers against each other to maximize your advantage on the global stage.Tropico 3 is also social in the sense where you can visit other islands controlled by players and compete with other players via an online scoring system. Sounds like fun to you? Well, you can give Tropico 3 a try. It's definitely a step-up from the first two games (since they have older graphics and mechanics) and may appeal to the players of today.
