Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile vs RollerCoaster Tycoon World
Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile
Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile is the fourth installment and an exclusive mobile-only tycoon game that follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. However, being a mobile game, the gameplay in Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile had to be drastically "dumbed down" because well, there is so many menu buttons you can place on the screen of a mobile device, but if you take that into consideration, the game excels despite some of its glitches and shortfalls.Not to mention, in addition to the usual scenarios and sandbox mode, this game also has a unique corporation mode where you can compete with another player and his/her theme park to see who's the best tycoon around. You can even play the slots mini-game that the game provides, and share coaster blueprints with your friends. But ultimately, the main selling point I dare say, is that the game is free-to-play. Now, even people who can't afford to buy any of its previous games can experience the wonders that the Rollercoaster Tycoon franchise can bring.
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.
