24 levels worth of Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile Review!

RCT 4 Mobile $2.99 iOS only for now.

IN APP PURCHASE PRICES

It was a pleasant surprise when RCT's Facebook page announced a mobile version of RCT4 would be launching soon.  And not even a month later, it arrives!  iOS only for now.. Booo.  Now the mobile game norm anymore is to have a bunch of expensive in app purchases.  RCT4 Mobile is no different.  HOWEVER...  In 24 levels, I have not had to pay a single cent extra to proceed in the game.  I haven't even been close.  

COIN TRUCK OF AWESOME!

   

Food Rush Mini-Game

There is a cool little thing under specials in build called Food Rush.  It's a food truck that holds inside a super amazing burger making mini-game which will level you up super quick, giving you lots and lots of coins and tickets in the process.  (It becomes less useful the more you level because you need a stupid amount of xp to level!)  

EXAMPLE OF GOALS AND THEIR REWARDS

Now how the game works...  It's kind of like Simpson's Tapped out.  Not nearly as awesome or customizable as the other RCT games, but rest assured, a PC one is due out soon!  CHILL OUT PEOPLE!  Anyways.  You start off with around 45 tickets.  Tickets are the things you use to speed up the build times on your attractions and build certain rides with.  For instance say I build a swinging chairs ride.  It will take about 2 real time hours to complete OR I can pay 2 tickets to get it now.  But in spending those 2 tickets and completing any "goals" I am rewarded with more tickets than what I spent a lot of the times.  What I'm trying to say is that I get a lot of tickets rewarded to me so I don't see having to buy any through IAPS.  At least so far.  I'm up to like 86 tickets now and I speed up everything over a 5 minute wait.  Yes, I'm very impatient! The most tickets I've run in to having to "pay" for so far has been 8.  

DON'T HIT THE RED X TO DELETE A TRACK PIECE!

AND BECAUSE I WANT TO COMPLAIN TODAY.. THE CONS..

The coaster builder is super annoying.  In the middle of building the coaster, if you accidentally hit the giant red X instead of the tiny garbage can delete, you cancel out all of your progress of building the coaster.  No warning, no nothing.  I've done it like 5 times by accident and had to start all over rebuilding.  :/  I also can't get my haunted house gift code to work.  The one they emailed me for subbing to their emails.  It says invalid code.  Come on guys!  I'm at the point now where I can just buy it..   I also don't like having to "collect" coins from every shop I have.  "I ain't got time for that." You also can't change the view. 

Overall I like the game as a mobile game.  It's no substitute to RCT for the PC for sure.  It's worth 3 bucks.  I really hope they include more mini game things though.  Or ways to make some extra coins and gain a lot of XP.
