RollerCoaster Tycoon: Corkscrew Follies Expansion
Review by Nivla
"Everything an expansion pack should have.....and more!"
With the success of Roller Coaster Tycoon, Chris Sawyer and Microprose decided to make an expansion pack for the game. Called Roller Coaster Tycoon:Corkscrew Follies, this is everything an expansion should be, and then some!
Corkscrew Follies use the same engine as Roller Coaster Tycoon. However, many new things are added, such as new rides and decorative ornaments. Fans of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon can expect this game to blow them right out of the chairs with it's new additions.
One of the most impressive things added are the many new types of roller coasters. Not only are there new types of roller coasters, but there are new cars for roller coasters, and new track pieces such as giant loops. In addition to roller coasters, there is new stuff in every catagory, thrill rides, water rides, everything!. There are also new themes, such as a prehistoric theme (you know, with dinosaurs and stuff). And for those of you who thought the scenarios in the original Roller Coaster Tycoon were way too easy, there are 30 new tough ones in the exapnsion pack. And some of them are tough. New scenery also awaits the player. New trees and bushes (sounds exciting, huh?). And also, different parts of the track can now be painted different colors! So if you would like an Americna look to your roller coaster, pain the track, red, white and blue! Want a Canadian look instead?! No problem! Paint it red and white. The possibilities are endless!
As far as the visual/audio/fun factor/replay value goes, it's exactly the same as the original Roller Coaster Tycoon. Not only is the same engine used, but the same sound and graphics too!
Overall, this game is a must get if you loved the original.
