Story & Themes
Planet Coaster 2 is a management sim where players build, expand, design, and maintain a theme park, including all of the rides, staff, facilities, scenery, and terrain.
Three game modes are available: Career, Sandbox, and Franchise.
Career Mode offers some light story-telling as players help fix up partially built parks through various missions and challenges. Career Mode also serves as an extended tutorial for teaching gameplay and providing tips.
Sandbox features a blank canvas for building the ultimate park, as well as optional challenges and objectives to impose.
Franchise Mode, a series first, takes the game online, as players can share and build parks together (one player at a time), and compete in online leaderboards.
Difficulty
Customizing rides requires knowledge of physics. To succeed, parks will need to turn a profit by providing great value and entertainment with an efficient, attractive layout. Career Mode is helpful for showcasing pre-built parks.
Heads Up!
Violence Unfinished coasters can be crash into park goers with cartoon explosions. It's played for laughs, however, as uninjured people get up and cheer.
