Better than the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
1. Gameplay - Soaked does not build on the same buggy gameplay of RCT3, but instead improves it. The buggy experience of RCT3 is gone for good. The expansion allows you to expand on the roller coasters and introduces water based coasters. The virtual ride mode is still here. However the problem with big parks that was present in RCT3 has all but gone. Even in Soaked, building a big park can become a drain on your system. However, apart from that, the new rides are a huge addition to the game. Previously, the rides would go cold without any proper reason. However now you can receive a much more detailed information as to why the visitors are finding the ride to be boring.
2. Music - The music in this installment is also as drab as it was in RCT3.
3. Graphics - Pretty much the same amazing graphics as had been utilized in the original game - Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, the game does very little to change it (and that, I believe, is a good news). The visitors however look just as crappy as before, but the overall aesthetic appeal of the game is more than overwhelming.
