    Building a theme park is great fun but once you park gets to a certain size it will constantly crash making it unplayable. Tracking your staff is impossible and way too involved and slow to keep them happy so they quit constantly, who wants to manage staff in sandbox mode, answer is no one. Haven't played the challenge mode as all I wanted to do was build the biggest rollercoasters but asBuilding a theme park is great fun but once you park gets to a certain size it will constantly crash making it unplayable.

    While it’s a pleasure to sit on the sofa and meander through one’s epic theme park creation on the big screen, enjoying the sights and sounds of the rides, the crowds, the vendors and the scenery, actually building that park is still easier and vastly more efficient up close and personal on the PC with a mouse and keyboard. Frontier did a great job of bringing Planet Coaster to consoles and is easy to recommend. Just be prepared for a learning curve and a bit of frustration as you get the hang of building your dream park with the controller.

    Overall, a ticket to Plant Coaster: Console Edition is a great buy if you’re at all into theme park management. Frontier did a superb job bringing their excellent 2016 PC game to next-gen with console-friendly UI, controls, and everything you could need to get a big jump on your theme park building and management gameplay.

    Planet Coaster: Console Edition is definitely the best theme park management game around, with a great porting from the PC version and a very solid gameplay. We would have liked a meatier Career mode, but its Sandbox mode can be very satisfying and it'll be able to entertain even newcomers to the genre.
