It's because they had better devs when the first game was being developed as well as the updates and DLC's. PC2 is even a step backwards from Zoo somewhat and I don't even have Zoo. The PC2 devs rushed PC2 out last November and after multiple complaints, they released 6 free updates and patches to try to make up for their shortfalls. But, like you said, MissU, they had to recode all the old themes from scratch and they might have screwed up on some of the pieces. Who knows if they will fix them. It's too early to tell if they will ever implement stuff that the guests can interact with besides rides, food stands, restaurants, etc. such as midway games, walkthrough attractions, stuff that PC1 never did. RCT 1-3 has mini golf that the peeps actually play, will PC2 ever get that? Or would it be too hard to program now? RCT3 had a bunch of rides that weren't in either Planet game. They did do one of the most requested features last month, a kerb on/off toggle for paths. But new bugs seem to pop up with each new update. Like guests getting stuck, etc. And now they are silent again regarding future plans beyond update 6 like DLC's and stuff.
