Roller Coaster Tycoon is a great game. Being brought to XBox is a good start to companies to remember that only good games sell and us consumers are not going to stand too much reguritation of titles. I do wish they could have made the game a little clearer or adjusted something to use some of the XBox capabilities, but I have to say nothing has changed. They did put the expansion packs into the original game. And do not worry about the controls ... they actually did an okay job adjusting it to the XBox controllers. You have to use all the buttons too. All in all RTC is a great game ... but it is the same game as the PC version so if you already own it, that is enough said.

Great Rollercoaster Fun

i have owned this game for a short while but have played it as often as possible.its dang hard to put down!you get to run a theme park as you probably gathered already.ive read a lot of reviews from various sources and its not really as complicated as everyone says.it does have its obnoxious parts though.basicly,you get a loan and then must build a amusement park bottem up.every decision that could possibly be made is yours!you build rides from a few genres including water,roller coasters,kid rides,and transportation.theyre really simple in most cases but sometimes the computer wont just tell you what it wants you to do.thats aggrevating.then you must put in a bunch of shops to keep the money flowing.i like to put them at the top of hills so when the people get there,theyre all hot and are more likely to pay ridiculous prices for drinks.yes,it that in depth!then theres another menu for construction type stuff.this includes buying up land,intensive excavation,building sidewalks and more.then theres a less important thing where you can "create atmosphere".but its not really that exiting.just flowers,trees,trash cans and junk like that.theres a few nice statues and some fountains though.lastly,you will also have to hire boocoo security,mechanics and handy men.stuffs always breaking down and for some reason the people always litter no matter how many trash cans you put out.ive got a bunch of roller coasters,a train,tons of kid rides,water rides and even massive mazes for people to navigate.you can make money in many devious ways.here are 2 examples.1-wait until a bunch of people are walking up to your park thats advertised as free.then hike the price up to 50 bucks.wait till theyve all paid then drop the price to free until youve got another flock coming.for some reason they only turn back unless if you go over 50.2-you can read thier thoughts.so when someone is lost and wants to leave,direct them to the info stand so they buy a map.if they leave you dont get rich.its loads of fun especialy if you have a lot of time on your hands,because it will devour your life!

I LOVE THIS GAME! THE BEST SINCE THE FIRST ZELDA (NINTENDO)

My little brother had received this game for his birthday and I borrowed it after watching him play it. After a week, I tried to avoid him or change the subject about the game. I just couldn't give it up. I was.......addicted.
Finally I had gotten one of my own for my birthday. (My own Rollercoaster game). You couldn't get me off of the computer. And you can't imagine to my surprise, when I heard there was a Rollercoaster 2. NO WAY!
I will be the first to admit it, that no matter how good you think you are getting, there is alway's something surprisingly new that you learn every day (especialy if you do not have the instructions).
I LOVE THIS GAME!
IT IS THE BEST GAME SINCE THE VERY FIRST ZELDA (NINTENDO).
and have been looking for a game that captures my full attention like this one does.

AWESOME

If you don't have a PC, then buy this game for X-Box.

I own this game for PC and I've been a fan since the beginning. Roller Coaster Tycoon is basically an amusement park simulation. Here you can create from scratch a new park or improve an existing one. It's actually a fun game, seeing your own roller coasters going around, all your employees in the park doing all the work you assign to them, and more. The thing I don't like about the X-Box version are the controllers. I really prefer the mouse and keyboard instead of using the joysticks. I'll be honest, if you're interested even a little bit in this kind of game, buy it, you can't go wrong; it's easy to get into and challenging to even the "experts." however, if you have a PC, I would highly recommend you get the PC version, it has more flexibility and it's better to control than the X-Box controls.

Good port to the console, but the PC version is still better

I own both the PC and Xbox version of these games and still have to give the nod to the PC. The console graphics just aren't up to par for the PC and the movement/building of rides is just way too cumbersom on the Xbox. You can easily have 4 or 5 different windows open trying to build a simple ride. The PC version just comes off as smoother. However, it is still a fantastic game on either.

Pretty fun game

When I saw this game was available for xbox I had to get it. I never played the game before but I saw it on T.V and it looked awesome. When I started playing this game i was lost on what to do. So I went to the learning section they have in the game and it helped a lot. Once you get the hang of it you will not want to stop playing this game. It is also cool because it includes the expansions cockscrew foolies and loopy landscapes. The only reason I gave this a 4 star instead of 5 because I thought the graphics would be a little better nut it is not really that big of a deal. This is a must for sim lovers everywhere.
Enjoy:)

First time player, First class lover

I've only played this game once but that was enough! I played it at my friend's house for about 30 minutes but that was convincing enough! I loved it! I wouldn't stop thinking or talking about it for a full week! Finally now a year later I have found the opportunity to purchase this funky cool item!
