Like in its predecessor, the player must build successful theme parks to fulfill a set of objectives in various [[Scenario\|scenarios]]. The game was further expanded with two expansion packs, ''[[Wacky Worlds]]'' and ''[[Time Twister]]'', which brought more themes and theme-inspired derivatives of existing rides, as well as new scenarios. These two add-ons were not worked on by [[Chris Sawyer]]. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' uses the same game engine as the [[RCT1\|first game]], but somewhat optimized to sport more polished graphics, higher resolutions, a more intelligent guest AI and the ability to stack scenery items, enabling the creations of wonders of architecture. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (or RCT2 for short) is the second installment in the [[RollerCoaster Tycoon series]]. The player must build successful theme parks to fulfill a set of objectives in various [[scenarios]]]. The player can build custom [[roller coaster]]s and [[tracked ride]]s, [[pre-designed rides]], [[shops and stalls]], [[Footpath\|path systems]], and [[scenery]]. ==New features== RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 uses the same game engine as the [[RCT1\|first game]], but includes many more capabilities, such as more rides, the construction of custom buildings, extra rides, enhanced graphics, a scenario editor, and many rides and parks from Six Flags.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has received critisism for not being a true 'sequel' to [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]], and being more of a RCT 1.5. This is due to the game being very similar in both graphics and gameplay. Really the only thing that changes is the amount of rides and attractions is greatly increased, and scenery is improved upon. ==Criticism== ~~== System Requirements ==~~ Operating System: Windows 98/Windows Me/2000/XP RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has received criticism for not being a true 'sequel' to [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]], and being more of an "RCT 1.5". This is due to the game using the same engine as the first one, although being massively upgraded. It made the two games very similar in both graphics and gameplay. For the critics, the only thing that truly changes is the greatly increased amount of rides and attractions, and massive scenery improvement thanks to the new features. Unlike the first game, the "scenario indexes concept" was scrapped, unlocking all the scenarios from the start. Although obviously due because of the new "Scenario Editor" feature, this reduced the feeling for players of actually being rewarded. The largest negative point arises with the lack of backward compatibility from RCT and its expansions in certain rides (e.g. the [[Steel Mini Roller Coaster]] of RCT1 is incompatible with its RCT2 lookalike, the [[Junior Roller Coaster]]), which made long-time first-game players disappointed with the sequel. The add-ons had mixed criticisms: Most players and reviewers were satisfied with the first add-on, ''[[Wacky Worlds]]'', but many were disappointed with the second add-on ''[[Time Twister]]'' as it felt incomplete, simply being new objects and scenarios thrown on a CD. The add-on's theming and objects were also too numerous and massive to be imported in new parks, drastically reducing their use on the game and most often reducing their usage to the official scenarios on which they were used. They, therefore, never became vitally needed on the parks, making the addon discs nearly unnecessary. Most custom & downloaded parks actually only require the addons for a couple rides and scenery objects. Many of the bugs and criticized features RCT2 included were improved or removed by the developers of the game's open-source recreation [[OpenRCT2]]. ==System requirements == Operating System: Windows 98/Windows Me/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 Processor: Pentium® II 300 MHz or equivalent Memory: 64 MB RAM Hard Disk Space: 100 MB ~~Free~~free CD-ROM Drive: 4X or higher *Video: 4MB Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP-compatible video card^ Line 162 ⟶ 361: ^Indicates device should be compatible with DirectX® version 8.1 (included) or higher. {{RollerCoaster Tycoon Games}} [[Category:RollerCoaster Tycoon Games]] [[Category:PC Game]] ~~{{Template:Rollercoaster Tycoon Games}}~~ [[Category:RollerCoaster Tycoon Series]] [[Category:Chris Sawyer]] [[Category:Rollercoaster Tycoon 2]]
