To introduce the new console control system, the console edition has a handy tutorial that is fully voiced and gives those new to the theme park building genre a gentle introduction to the various tools and options. Whereas those who have the time and inclination will marvel at the immense level of details that budding park designers can go to to create their perfect park. Time-poor players can use the wealth of standard rides or download the myriad creations available from the community. Planet Coaster has a veritable buffet of park customization options allowing for an unprecedented level of creativity. As such, the first thing you notice when playing Planet Coaster is that it is truly massive. However, the limitations of the time and sometimes by the platform meant that creations were rudimentary by Planet Coaster’s standards. Having grown up with Bullfrog’s Theme Park and Rollercoaster Tycoon, I am no stranger to the theme park sim.
Players can design and build their dream theme park, manage the entire infrastructure and grow their careers as park directors. Planet Coaster is an extensive construction and management simulation game by Frontier Developments now available on Xbox.
