Planet Coaster has a Metascore of 84 and a Very Positive rating on Steam based on 90% of the 36,375 user reviews being positive. Sounds simple doesn't it? But as it is with most business simulations, the devil is in the details. In Planet Coaster you're the manager of a theme park and you're responsible for designing the rides and the park, as well as ensuring a profit is made from the selling of tickets, food and merchandise. The company has developed games from many genres and for many platforms since the mid-1990s including 2004's Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, 2010's Kinectimals, 2013's Zoo Tycoon and (one of my favourites) 2014's Elite: Dangerous.įrontier Developments has quite a bit of experience developing theme park games so it's probably no surprise that they eventually released Planet Coaster in 2016. It was founded 10 years after Elite's release in 1994 and is a publicly listed company with over 500 employees.

If you enjoyed the base game, get this, and you can jump right back in again and get lost for hours on end.Ĭheck out our review of the Planet Coaster: Console Edition base game here. You can pick the bundle up for the low price of £12/ AU$22.45. But this is a small complaint considering the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle offers tremendous value for a low price. The humorous characters were a huge highlight of the base game, and I would love to see more of them. Image Credit – Frontier DevelopmentsĮven though there is nothing wrong with the content on offer in the bundle, I am a little disappointed there weren’t new campaign missions. These little touches bring the park to life, and it was lovely to see more of them in this DLC. Watching the incredible trapeze acts up-close as they soar through the air or the quartet performing an acapella version of the games theme tune is just two brilliant examples of this. But they are there and just waiting for you to zoom in on them. The game view is primarily far above all of the assets, and you can’t see the finer details. This attention to detail made the tests a lot of fun and, in theory, wasn’t necessary at all. The wooden rollercoaster had a weathered texture to truly sell the vintage design, and the motorcycles are even equipped with speedometers and petrol gauges on the dashboard. As I tested out the various rides, I took a look around to take in the breathtaking detail. Like the base game, the textures on all of the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle assets are detailed and beautiful. “I am a little disappointed there weren’t new campaign missions.” I won’t go into the Scenery items as we could be here all week, however, some serious depth has gone into the Scenery design, and you will not be left unsatisfied in this department. The most notable of these is a Ferris Wheel that shifts on its axis named Round the World and a magnet powered transport system titled Polarity. Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle also introduces a few interesting non-coaster rides. You can create custom tracks with these bad boys and make your own crazy trains (Rock on Ozzy). These are big toys because, although there are blueprints to place straight away, you can also get creative. This ride features a pair of motorcycle-themed trains on opposite tracks that race each other around the coaster. Please, someone, point me to a real version of this as I want to ride it! The final new coaster is the Jixer & Interceptor. It is insane to ride this coaster in the first-person mode. Aces Sky is a unique concept that sees you on rails, initially, before your suddenly flying down wooden chutes. The Zephyrus is a big old school wooden rollercoaster, reminiscent of the old California Screamin‘ rollercoaster in Anaheim. “It is insane to ride this coaster in the first-person mode.” At the very least, you can use the 3 new rollercoasters to create a new area in a previous save.
You have over 600 scenery items in this bundle, which is enough stuff to make an entirely new park. The Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle comes with many rides and items to spice up your parks. I am, in fact, here to play with some culturally diverse and literal old toys in the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle. In this case, I’m not just back to play with the same old toys. Being a construction and management simulation, you can always start from scratch to better your theme park. It has been a while since I last played Planet Coaster: Console Edition, but it’s the kind of game that offers endless replayability.
