Soul Calibur By Metropole Added on Saturday, 16 June 2007

For years Metropole has been one of the best RCT2 parkmakers in the game, but always seemed to be behind the bigger guns. Well now I think Metro is starting to push his way towards the front and become elite. Once again we have a park that was started years ago, seemingly forgotten and now, maybe thanks to the contest gap, finished and released here at NE, Metro's long awaited video game epic park, Soul Calibur.
In this first screen you get a great look at Metro's awesome entrance. Metro has always been one of the best parkmakers when it comes to making large buildings. The entrance is highlighted by Orichalcum; a large B&M with the slandered terrific Metro style layout we have come to expect from him.
Soryuju is one of the parks two water rides and sports an outstanding duel layout. Each flume comes with a whooping 68ft drop making it more extreme then most water rides. Also in this section you will find the parks mine train coaster, The Legend of Zelda. Now maybe this is where having never played Soul Calibur hurts the review, but I think thats another game? Ah moving on...
The parks star attraction might just be Ayus & Manus. This set of dueling 4D coasters is in a word: Amazing. Not all the credit on these can be given to Metro. The layouts were provided by Phil (aka Voodoo, and like 15 or 9 other names I can't remember atm). The inversions, the wicked custom supports, the underground flyby... it all adds up to one of the best interactive coaster areas ever in RCT.
It's no secreat that Metro is a master of B&M inverts and Soul Edge is without a doubt one of his best ever. The flow on the layout is incredible. I think the only thing that hurts it was the dark dank atmosphere, but I guess the coaster should fit it's characters theme, so great work.
Now we know Metro has mastered steel coasters, but with Lethe he gives us a look at what wonderful things he can do with wood. One of my favorite things in the park was the recreated fighting arenas you can see in the middle of the park and within the theming on Orichalcum. The biggest and best would probably be Ayutthaya with it's scenic location on the river, excellent work on those Metro.
The other main guest spot in the park is Janus' spectacular White Storm rapids, which makes the color orange look amazing and that is not an easy feat! This ride put "DJ" on the map as a true RCT2 force and he received an NE parkmaker spot soon after. Metro you are a hell of a parkmaker, but you got to admit you did let Phil and Janus steal a little bit of your thunder with their respective amazing contributions.

Great work Metro and believe it or not after seeing this Corkscrewed said he was willing to make it a Spotlight! Yeah that from the same guy who wronged Tussaud's Boscastle Heights last year. I guess this time I was the bad guy as I deemed it only SRU worthy, but hey I am sure your not alarmed and still feel safety in your chances of finally napping that allusive NE Spotlight one day...
