Rollercoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack" finally delivers the RCT2 I wanted.It not only lets you simulate building amusement parks, complete with rides, food & drink stalls, and other attractions, but this pack includes a huge number of different coasters and examples of each type, and also allows you to try to build your own coasters. There are many other types of amusement park rides, including log flumes and water slides, merry-go-rounds and ferris wheels, go kart race tracks and car rides, and many others. There are also over a dozen scenarios ranging from fairly easy to fairly difficult. The fact that all the scenarios are accessible from the beginning of the game is a big plus.

The replay value of this game is great. I find myself coming back to see if I can better my previous rating or ending park value, or both, or add something to my previous parks to make them more interesting. I know I've spent countless hours designing little tweaks to make my parks or rides "just right".

The primary program, "Roller Coaster Tycoon II," provides many good features that are a big improvement over RCT1, but the same graphics engine is used.I really like this sim game - probably more than any other game like it.If you like amusement parks and roller coasters, and you like games like "Civilization" and other simulations, you'll love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

"Wacky Worlds" adds a lot of scenery like the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and many others to make your park a true international experience. There are over 20 new scenarios, 50 new ride types (not all of which will be coasters), and about a total of 250 new game elements.But the total of the new elements in "Wacky Worlds" wasn't worth the price of admission all by itself.

"Time Twister" adds even more great rides and some really wonderful scenarios to the overall mix.There's a few for every age - from the Medieval to the present and beyond.There's also a few new rides and attractions."Time Twister" also suffered from not having nearly enough material to satisfy RCT fans by itself.

But now you can Triple your fun with this all in one pack.Amazon.Com doesn't have half stars, so I can't give this game the 4 1/2 stars it deserves, but I'm sure if you've found previous games in the series interesting. you'll love tripling your fun!

If you've never tried Roller Coaster Tycoon, and you like amusement parks, you'll love the ability to design and build your own amusement park. RCT2 gives you almost everything that the old game had. But if you've already tried RCT1 you may find that this game just isn't different enough from the original, even though it includes the new scenario designer and other new features. The graphics haven't been updated much at all - and the graphics were already a little dated in RCT1.

But if you =really= want the =complete= pack, do an Internet search for "RCT2 User Created Expansion Set" and download that.You will be highly surprised at the many new features, rides and other things that fan-created expansion does for this game.

Now that my predictions have come to pass and everything is available for RCT2, I very highly recommend this purchase over any of the other stand alone sets, including the incomplete "Combo Pack".But if you already =love= RCT2, then just wait a few weeks - Chris Sawyer and Atari are rolling out RCT3 - which finally has a 3D feel and a coaster cam! If you've never tried to build your own amusement park, and had a secret yen to try it, then RCT2 is a great game. Watch out Disney World - here comes Roller Coaster Tycoon 2!

RollerCoaster Tycoon Gold Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is important to note there is nothing new in this game. It is just a re-release of the game and its two expansion packs. So, if you have Rollercoaster Tycoon and the expansion packs, don't bother, Rollercoaster Tycoon II is coming this fall.
But if you dont have any of the RCT games yet, this is a good buy.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This addicting game is a best seller and for a good reason. This fun (and sometimes funny) game requires a lot of free time, a strategic brain, and a good imagination.
RCT has a very user-friendly interface. It is easy toroam around your park, create and maintain rides, hire staff (janitors,mechanics, security guards, and entertainers), keep the park clean, andmuch more. Even if you're new to this game, a quick overlook at the game'sfeatures will get you going. But even a quick look won't satisfy you withthis very addicting game. I can guarantee that you'll want to play this allday and night.
Creating your own ride is very fun. Make all the drops,vertical loops, etc. you want. But be careful to keep within the budgetrange! Sounds hard? It gets harder as it unlocks more parks as you completescenarios. But no matter how hard or frustrating it is, it will get morefun as you research more rides and attractions as time passes.
So ifyou're trying to beat the park objective, keep within budget range, createthe best roller coaster, keep your guests happy, or just play for fun,you'll agree from the minute you get into the game that the best sim gameever has finally come to PC!
The expansion pack is a great addition to agreat game. Be sure to include the Corkscrew Follies addition with yourorder.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well...I had this version of Roller Coaster Tycoon for my old Windows and when I got my new puter with Windows XP a couple of years ago...much to my chagrin, my Roller Coaster Tycoon did not transfer.
I had gotten this for my son to play, and he is now grown and gone.We tried other versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon...but really none were as fun as the original one.
Once he left...I had empty nest syndrome pretty badly.I looked in the stores for the original version of RCT to see if they had made it compatible with Windows XP and could not find it.But I was told it might be available online...and I was delighted when I found it on Amazon.
I ordered it and have enjoyed it immensely.I love Evergreen Gardens and I play it through and accumulate alot of money on it, then flatten it and make a Serenity Garden where I can make banners with Scriptures and everything.I make just a few rides that I really enjoy watching the workings of and then open my Serenity Park for a low fare and watch the little kids come and play in my low key Amusement Park.
I set all the rides on maintain every 10 minutes and I have plenty of maintenance men, so even the coasters rarely crash.I am a very non violent person and I don't like that feature in the scenario, so I pretty much edit it out in the way I run my parks.
It is fun for this older gal to see the kiddies play and it is a drift of imagination that seems pretty harmless to me.I just try to limit my time, so I am only truly using it for recreation and relaxation.

Roller Coaster Tycoon (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to play this game all the time! I remember having the best park on the official website and made it downloadable. I quit playing after the downloadable version was off the website and it somehow got deleted off my computer. This game has quite a bit of depth, and is the best game in the tycoon series byfar! My park was so huge though, that all i could do when i went on to it was just watch people do stuff and watch my money pile up. I had absolutely no space left, and I didn't want to touch my park because it was so cool to look at. You can customize a lot of stuff in this game as well. not just roller coasters, but water slides, kid car rides, go-kart tracks, and more. I definitely reccomend this game to any person because in my opinion this is better than RCT2 or RCT3, so forget about them and buy this.

In my opinion, it's the best game on the PC.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Roller Coaster Tycoon has been one of the most successful of the 'tycoon' games on the market today, and it's easy to see why.RCT is probably, down and away, one of the most fun and addictive of all the tycoon games.This version of RCT3 now has all the expansions included with the main game: "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3," "RCT3: Soaked!", and "RCT3: Wild!".

I've played all three - RCT1, RCT2, and now RCT3.I enjoy all of the franchise.I've always wondered what it would be like to BE Walt Disney - even if it's just in a game.And Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum does not disappoint.

Although the interface isn't quite as good as is on Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, it's still usable once you get over the rather kiddiefied look.It's the three dimensional look that gives this game a fresh slant to earlier versions.And the new coaster cam adds a bit of a thrill, although I myself only found myself using it infrequently at best.

RCT3 itself adds the coaster cam and three dimensional look and feel.RCT3: Soaked adds water park features, and RCT3: Wild adds a bit of Zoo Tycoon to RCT3.The customers look like "The Sims," and there's now obvious older and younger customers, and you must strike a balance of pleasing both.

I enjoyed my adventures with RCT3 very much.It can be very addictive.Just a little tweak can increase your park's success - or cause your failure.The scenarios are numerous, and the new three challenge in one scenario feature was a nice touch, even though I thought that some of them were a little too easy to reach the top.

The scenarios range from the tutorials (highly useful, even if you've played other Tycoon games), beginners scenarios, advanced scenarios and expert scenarios as well as a couple "Real" parks.

The new Fireworks shows feature is nice, but I found designing your own to be a bit time consuming, not to mention in-game expensive for the small return you get.

The new VIP guest feature is also a nice touch.Please the VIP, and you often get a nice bonus that lets you finish that roller coaster that you were building, or add other new features to your park.

The Coaster Design 'sandbox' feature lets you design and test coasters without using a park or scenario.This is a nice touch, and it was very helpful to be able to see what features of the roller coasters added which excitement level, what nausea level (yes, peeps still barf! :-) and what features add or subtract from those figures.

But I find myself drawn back to RCT2 over and over again.RCT3's building features are not as good as RCT2's were, and there are nowhere near as many fan-created rides, scenarios, or sets (whole parks) as there are for RCT2. Building water park items, such as dinghy slides, is now more difficult, since they must end in a swimming pool complex.

Although I'd recommend this game, even to RCT die-hards, if you already =really= enjoy RCT2, you will probably be disappointed by RCT3.And it's really recommended to newbies, especially since they finally got the game and expansions in one pack.Although Chris Sawyer denies working on RCT4, my guess is that you'll see it eventually.Until then, Happy Tycooning!

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After many of the 'Tycoon' style games that have been popular over the last few years, the reigning king was a simple family style game called Roller Coaster Tycoon.After two successful expansion packs, developer Chris Sawyer waited well over a year to launch Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.The sequel is based on a no brainer..."Build it and they will come".Seeing that the first game and its expansions still sell well, Infogrames already has a large base of built in fans looking for more of the same, but will these fans love '2', and will this attract new fans?Time will tell.
Overall, the look and feel of the game remains relatively the same.A 3D isometric overhead view allows players to build a theme park from scratch and carry it through pre-defined scenarios.These scenarios have conditions such as have a park rating of X by year Y or have X guests by year Y or build N coasters of type T with an excitement factor of X.
The game ships with about 25 scenarios that are grouped in categories of difficulty: easy, advanced, expert, and Real Parks.The website RollercoasterTyccon2.com promises to have future downloadable scenarios, and one major enhancement over the original game is the inclusion of a scenario editor.Players can now create their own parks/games and trade among friends.You can control all variables from size of park, weather, rides available for research and more.
The 'Real Parks' are actual Six Flag parks from around the world that are pretty close to real world counterparts.You can choose to just manage them or alter them at will.
Game enhancements:
1) Park sizes can be double that of the original game and it supports a much higher screen resolution rate.
2) Scenery: All the original scenery from the RCT and its expansions are present as well as new ones including: Pirate, Scary, Medieval, Gears, Wild West, Giant Gardens and more.There are also more fences, water themes, roofs and walls and the ability to stack scenery makes it much easier to create buildings.
3) New rides: Well obviously there are more coasters but also other attractions as well on top of all the originals.
4) Coaster and ride options: There seems to be much more customizations available for coasters including new car types, special banks, queue line options, supports, signs & banners, special track types and more.
5) New shops and stalls: Again, all the originals and more including sun glass hut, ATM's, First Aid station, more food choices.
6) More music options.Many more styles of music can accompany your rides.
7) Coaster construction: Tool here has been revamped and now you can make/test/save/see coasters better than ever.
Now not everything is perfect in this game:
1) Graphics: Even though the screen resolution and park size has increased, the view is still the same as is the graphics engine.While there is more 'eye-candy' per-se, the overall look is still cartoony and has some 'jaggy' issues.Not to mention that hills, waters, mountains still look slightly un-natural as it did in the original.
2) Lack of scenarios that ship.There are only 3 easy scenarios, a handful of advanced, and more expert.This may prove complex for players who never had the first.Hopefully new ones will be available from the official website soon.
3) No major innovations in game play.I'd like to see new objectives, or disasters to overcome, or new behaviors of park guests, mechanics, handymen, mascots...still the same.
The largest adjustment fans of the original will have to make is getting use to the new construction and customization tools.While they have been expanded (a large plus), they have also taken on new 'handling' characteristics which is proving somewhat confusing for me.For old players, it's retraining how to this new interface and sub-menus...lacking in the 1st game.While this new interface does seem to be much more rich and deep, I truly found it wasn't as intuitive as the RCT 1.I was looking for information that seemed to be present in the 1st game easily, now I have to dig to sub-menus I'm not familiar with.
These were some of the reasons I chose o give it 4 stars instead of 5.Something's are just better off simple, not overly complex.

ROLLER COASTER TYCOON 3 - DELUXE EDITION Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is a lot better than RCT 2. There is so much more you can do and build. There is a mode called Sandbox mode where you have unlimited cash and you have all the rides unlocked. The only con in this game is that the size of the land you get is not that big. Yes you can fit a lot of rides but not enough.
