Everyone seems to have their preferences when it comes to playing these sort of games. Some just like using the Sandbox mode, which allows you to build just Coasters, or build your own park from scratch.
Other people may prefer to start with a Scenario or Campaign and improve their park by creating more income, to build more rides and add more facilities. That is the beauty of these type of games, you as the user, have the choice to play the game as you want to, I don't think anyone will disagree with that.
I like to do a bit of both really, just as a challenge, but I must admit, I do prefer using the Sandbox mode, more than anything else, because you can design coasters, that are as small or large as you want within certain limitations. But I think being able to build your own park and landscape it with hills, water and rides, is much more enjoyable. The only one thing that niggles me with RCT3, when starting a new park in Sandbox, is the ever ticking clock. It would be nice to be able to turn this off, whilst building your park. So when you finally decide to open your park to visitors, you can turn on the clock and start at Year 1.
The last park I built in RCT3, took me 28 game years to complete before I opened it to visitors. On that time scale in the real world, many of my rides would only be fit for demolition, and the whole place would be looking sorry for itself.
So which do you prefer when it comes to playing? Lets have some replies and let us know what you prefer!
