The option to design your own water slide is also present, the interface for which is similar to that used for rollercoaster design - in other words, highly customisable but bloody fiddly. You can even interact with your swimming peeps by swirling the mouse pointer around the pool to make a whirlpool. Laying the pools down is a simple drag-and-drop affair, although this becomes more complicated if you choose to build multi-layered pools complete with adjoining stairways. The pools have to be built in their own area and accessed through changing rooms, where you can sting your park visitors, or peeps' as they're known, for an entry fee. Integrating seamlessly into RollerCoaster Tycoon 3's interface, Soaked!'s main selling point is the ability to build water complexes and rides.
Soaked! is the first in what will presumably be a series of expansion packs for last year's RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and offers plenty for fans of the original to enjoy. The RollerCoaster Tycoon series has long since picked up the ball, offering a far more comprehensive approach to the finer points of designing and running your own world of fun, and the latest instalment managed to bring the franchise up to date fairly competently. So it's surprising that theme park management sims are as successful as they are.īullfrog's Theme Park was the first truly successful departure from the SimCity school of management. something which no game we've ever played has yet been able to recreate. However, the major attraction of most rollercoaster rides is that feeling you get in the base of your balls as you go into freefall Where else can you go to be scared shitless, made to feel sick, eat crap food, queue for hours and watch fat people trying to squeeze safety harnesses around their guts? OK, perhaps that doesn't quite capture the best points of the world's finest amusement parks, but there's something about those vast, self-contained fantasy lands that keeps us shelling out year after year. Theme Parks are one of man's greatest inventions.
