RollerCoaster Tycoon World vs SimCity
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.
SimCity
SimCity is the inspiration of every city-building game ever made and it is so for a very good reason. The game not only allows you to build a virtual city of your own design, the city-building process is incredibly intricate and once it's done, you can even enjoy watching your little Sims go about their day. As their mayor, you can't exactly do whatever you like if you hope to keep your people's support. Due to this, it is important to take your Sims' feedback and improve the city accordingly.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can actually team up with your friends to help solve global challenges in your city, projects that range from launching a space shuttle or construct amazing wonders of the world. Compete with other mayors from all around the world in a variety of categories on the leaderboard!
SimCity is a revolutionary game when it was first released and it is still inspiring a ton of new and in-depth city-building simulation games until today. Take up the role of a mayor in a simulated city now and see how well a job you can do!
