==Criticism==
Line 321 ⟶ 320:
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 Coaster]] of RCT1 is incompatible with its RCT2 port, the [[Junior Coaster]]), which made long-time first-game players disappointed with the sequel.
The add-ons had different critics
Many of the bugs and criticized features RCT2 included were improved or removed by the developers of the game's open-source recreation [[OpenRCT2]].
