RollerCoaster Tycoon

THE BAD:
If you get negative money and you can't increase your loan you pretty much can't do anything except wait for it to increase, it can be boring after you meet your goal and still have time left.

SUMMARY:
It's fun to design your own roller coasters, and easy to build a pre-made one. The controls are easy, symbols are self-explanatory. This is a great game to play while trying to reach the goal set for the park. But it can become tedious if you've completed your goal and there's still time to kill. Even with the bad things though, I would recommend this game. And no, this is not a game for "math geeks" as some may say. Just because it has a little to do with managing money doesn't make it that. It's for anyone who likes a good building game, who is creative or inventive.

THE BAD:
---

SUMMARY:
This game is alot like Sim City. You create the park with rollercoasters, kiddy-rides, haunted houses, swinging ships, merry-go-rounds, and go karts. You need to design your park appropraitely or the guests will leave. You need to provide them with food, drink, bathrooms, and even cotton candy stalls. That isn't what is amazing though. It's the ability to even reate your own rollercoaster or even go kart ride. Not that you would want to, though, there are dozens of rollercoaster to choose from alone. Then you'll need to hire mechanics, janitors, and giant fuzzy animals to maintain your guests and park. There are a variety of levels that all have objectives to complete like "Have $100,000 by the end of August, year 3". It's an incredably fun game. Did I mention that you get awards based on your parks cleanliness/safeness? There are "Most Cleanly Park", "Most Disgusting Park", "Safest Park", and "Least Safe Park". Thats what mechanics are for. If your rides brakes fail, and a carload of passengers are hulred into another carload of passengers or even straight into the sky, people will surely die. Make money from rides, food, drink, park admission, and if you are that cruel, the bathroom.

THE BAD:
-grapchics werent to impressive, but nothing to be ashamed about at all
-lack of coasters, but they were still kool
-some more stuff, just cant think of it right now

SUMMARY:
Good game, i suggest getting it, and i think that you need this one loaded to play the other ones, but get this 19.99 is a great price, that is what i payed for it, and that is an awesome price

4.2 for a good well done game, not any higher because or the bad reasons i said
Emsports00

THE BAD:
Addictive.

SUMMARY:
A classic in its own right. Cheap now compared to when I bought it. And well worth the money too. I believe it is still ranked the best managment game by some PC Game magazines, after all these years.

Extreamly addictive. I have spent too many hours sitting and playing this game. Once you get into it, you wont be able to get out.

"Worth Every Penny!"

THE BAD:
Not too big into the 3D thing!

SUMMARY:
This is a great game! You get to make your own rides, shops, themes, and more!
Just wait till you get the expansions! More rides, more themes, and more shops! This is a game for people who want to make a theme park in a game!
I have played all 3 and they are all great! I really like the third one though!

THE BAD:
Sometimes messes up your computer,
Outdated. (Need the Expansion Packs to be at the same area your friends are)

SUMMARY:
This is a standerd game. It is okay. You build rides yourself, though there is actually very little customising being done. You basically get to pick the color of about half your items.

This is a basic Theme Park Games. You own a Theme Park and such. There are better Theme Park Games out there though. This doesn't get boring for a while and sometimes messes up your computer.

THE BAD:
It's not true 3D, there's no "sandbox mode" (meaning the ability to - or not in this case - build a park without restrictions), no night and day - just day.

SUMMARY:
Roller Coaster Tycoon is the best (and only) theme park simulation since Bullfrog's Theme Park. This game has alot more depth than that game, and the graphics are much better. Alot of features have been taken from Theme Park. But this game is better in so many ways.

First off, you'll be able to rotate the map 4 directions. It's not true 3D, but it helps you to look around objects and see where you're building. In RCT, you'll be able to elevate terrain and even build underground. These features were not included in games like Theme Park.

One of the main downfalls of the game is that there's no "sandbox mode". This means that there isn't a level in the game where you can just build at your desire. This is a feature I'm sure alot of people would have loved. You must complete scenarios in this game in order to finish it, and the business element also makes the game stutter somewhat.

But all in all, you should love RCT. If you do, it would be wise to buy it's add-on packs, Added Attractions (or Corkscrew Follies as it was known in the US) and Loopy Landscapes. RCT, even though it is a relatively old game, still has a HUGE net following.

THE BAD:
None.

SUMMARY:
I bought this game over two years ago, yesterday I went out and spent over £40 buying a game, when I came home I turned on the pc and played roller coaster tycoon for 2 hours before playing my new game! That says it all!

Value: At less than 20 pounds, unbeatable, 10/10.
Levels: More levels than imaginable, decades of gameplay! 10/10
Grapics: Although 2D, they are better for this type of game. 9/10
