A Great Expansion Pack.
In the Original RCT3, there was no waterpark option and you could not build tunnels.

In the Soaked! Expansion pack, both of these additions were realized, but the tunneling had limitations that made it almost unbearable.

Finally, the Wild! Expansion pack comes along and creates a well-rounded video game that is both enjoyable and easy to use. The tunneling this time is automatic and is virtually void of drawbacks. The ability to now add animal exhibits to your park is great, and the new Challenges that come along with that are great. The best part of this expansion pack however, is the wide variety of new flat rides and the new scenery options. Both of these should've been included in the original version, but for some reason (probably money-making related) they were not. Regardless, the game now features flat rides such as the S&S Skyswatter and a handful of new coaster types. Unfortunately, the coastrs aren't real types of rollercoasters, but protoypes based off of "actual designs." Some of them are very cool, but they are often difficult to get the hang of because they are all different from the typical coaster layout. After a while though, you should adapt and enjoy these additions. I am with the other reviewer on this one, 2 expansion packs seem a little too much especially when they are priced so high and packed with such little content. However, if you have some money to spend and you are a fan of the series, plop some down on this item. You will undoubtedly find something to enjoy about it.

Get Zoo Tycoon 2 instead
Instead of getting this $20 expansion pack, why not for the same price get a game with alot more [animal] content- Zoo Tycoon 2? (I'm sick of all these stupid expansion packs! The stuff included in this pack should of been included in the base game!)

It was great in Beta!
I played this game when it was in Beta. It adds a bunch of Flat Rides to the game which is awesome. It adds some new coaster types too. It makes the experience a little better. The animals are a really cool edition to the game. For all of us east coasters, if you want to make a Six Flags: Great Adventure Recreation, almost exactly, this game will work for you.
