Doesn’t have everything the original had. – RollerCoaster Tycoon® Classic Review

Ok i have been playing this for quite a bit now and i was super hyped about it. Usually you don't see ported classic computer games for the phone like this. They usually water it down and pretend its anything like the original. So i was definitely pleasantly surprised by this. And it works really well. There are some odd glitches here and there with the scenario editor and the audio cuts out if you tap on a phone notification, but nothing i thought was too bad. Until i realized that theres definitely elements of the original game missing. Having some premade rollercoaster designs missing was one thing and i don't really care about that stuff, but theres actually scenery missing. This bothers me. Mainly the terrain tools. At least 6 other terrain sidings are missing... and at least 2 terrain grounds that make roofs. This makes a difference in gameplay because what they took out was the ability to make houses with the terrain. I know you can do it with whats in the walls and roofs scenery option but its definitely not the same and its also a massive pain to get right to do it that way if you are building something even somewhat large. So... not cool. Plus theres a bunch of paths and queue paths missing too. Not much... but enough. And its missing the ability to actually customize your paths. And the paths there are... most of them are yellow! It gives you like 7 different options of the same yellow path! Whats up with that??? So yeah no... not as good as the original yet. I can appreciate the improvements it HAS made to the original gameplay though. But I am definitely hoping that some time soon this app gets an update to actually give us paths and terrain like the original game had. Because now I'm just thinkin ok, what else is this game missing? Does it have less rides and stalls too? Idk. Its been so long i cant remember what it had and didn't have. But see you just cant skimp on these details. They're important.
