Video Game Reviews of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! Expansion
Customer Review: A Brilliant Expansion to an already great game
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally had the rollercoaster tycoon 3 gold game, which was the rct soaked expansion along with the base game. When I was looking through the internet I found this expansion pack. I decided to get it and it is still working brilliantlyCustomer Review: Rip-roaring fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
RCT3 Wild! is quite an original idea, considering how many other terrible games have tried to copy Zoo Tycoon. I can safely say this is not one of them. You can build roller coasters right into animal exhibits. You can't exactly create the 'zoo of your dreams,' but you can create the ultimate theme park! Great buy!Customer Review: Cole's review age 7
Summary: 3 Stars
You can make animal enclosures but after a while they start breaking down and then you have to dart all the animals which can be very tiring. There are some very cool new rollercoasters and some new thrill rides. There is a sandbox mode that allows you to play with an unlimited amount of money. You can make animal/ marine shows. The graphics and sound effects are great. ColeCustomer Review: Another worthwhile addition to the series
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little skeptical of the Wild! Expansion pack at first, but after the price lowered, I finally found time to buy and play the newest addition to Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. The idea is to now integrate, instead of water rides, wild animals into parks. Peeps pay to walk on 'viewing galleries' to get a good look at your wildlife. Choices range from Polar Bears to Ostriches to Gorillas and much in between.
The parks now look noticeably different than before. Many of the objectives are unfamiliar, such as making a certain profit off an animal, or obtaining a certain number of an animal. Although this is all new, it flows well with the RCT3 game and feels very comfortable after just a few quick scenarios.
The scenarios feature a wide variety of theming and landscapes, including the two new styles of scenery, prehistoric, and safari. The new scenery items include giant dinosaurs, and swooping safari trees. Both are great additions to the animal enclosures. The gameplay seems much simpler on Wild! than the previous two RCT3 titles. Most of the levels are not very challenging, although they do (for the most part) take a few hours to complete (if not longer). I cannot say they aren't a lot of fun, though. Once the animals begin breeding, the galleries can become hugely profitable, and it goes uphill for the coaster enthusiast from there.
Finally, as with Soaked!, Wild! has improved the tunnel feature again (and thank goodness!). Tunneling roller coasters as well as footpaths is as easy as it was in the original games, if not easier. Roller coasters can be built into hills automatically, and underground footpaths are rarely challenging. This adds a lot of functionality to park design, and works great with the animal enclosures since paths can tunnel below them, popping up in the middle to host viewing galleries.
I am pleased again with the newest RCT3 expansion. They have really turned RCT3 into a great looking and functional game that is easy to pick up and enjoy with hardly any frustration or problems. If you already have the first two parts of the RCT3 series, don't hesitate to pick this one up as well.
Customer Review: May have been added with Soaked
Summary: 3 Stars
After getting RCT 3, RCT 3 Soaked, and now RCT3 Wild, there is some dissapointment with this expansion pack. Good news is that there are many things to upgrade your park for in this expansion pack. The main theme is animals and this expansion pack allows you to create a Busch Gardens type park. You can add all types of animals like giraffes, rhinos, pandas, and more. You can even create lion shows as well. Plus there are many new rides like a safari transport vechicle and a safari train to allow people to visit your animal displays. There are also around 20 other new rides including new prototype coasters, carival rides, and now a steamboat transport vechicle.
However, I don't think that these expansion pack works well on its own. There are just too little new features that is worth it in the price. This pack should have been combined with the Soaked expansion pack.
If you are a fan of RCT 3, then getting this pack shouldn't be an issue, however if you can buy only one of the expansion packs, get soaked since it addresses many issues that needed to be brought up in the orginal RCT 3 game. This pack has very little content to add to the orginal game.
