Another addicting game. I have been trying to play this game and The Sims at the same time and there just isn't enough time. I played this for 6 hours yesterday (Sunday) and wondered where the time had gone. I had bought Disney's Coaster several years ago and thought this game would be just like it. Wrong! This game is way better. You have several scenarios you play plus you can play and redo real amusement parks. They give you lots a money to start with to build up your park. You control the admission fees, the price for all of the rides, price on the food, and you can even charge people for usin the restrooms. You hire mechanics, people to mow and clean garbage, security guards, and entertainers. You can change the color of every ride and play your choice of music. There a banners that will display any message you type plus you can name any ride or food place. The best thing is you can design your own rollercoasters and water rides though they are expensive (don't build your water ride too big as you typically only have 2 boats and the lines get long and customers get upset). You also do your own landscaping and you can see what every customer in your park is thinking and how each ride is liked. If you choose to, you can watch them ride each of your rides. The only conflict with the game I have seen was what they call "thrill rides". When you go to build these, the excitement level is typically low to moderate so I am not sure why they call those thrill rides.This is a very addicting game and time will get away. I think if you get this game , you will also get addicted and then you will have to go buy the other 2 expansion packs, just like I did.

Awesome

I loved this game. Creating the amusement parks is so much fun, then watching your visitors having loads of fun on something you create is a great feeling. Watchout though, it isn't always easy to create a fun ride and you have to have enough money to build it. Once you create all you fit on the land you have, expand your area and keep going.

The game is divided into goals. You start out with the simple basic park and once you reach the preset goal for that park, you move onto the next park which is more of a challenge. As you progress the parks get more difficult and the goals keep increasing.

It keeps you interested as you create more and more parks and the challenge gets bigger and bigger. You could build parks for hours with this game.

Simple But Downright Addictive!

This game is simple, quick to install, and not too advanced in graphics. It came out in 1999 by Micropose, and has been the subject to a few add-ons such as Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies, and now even a sequal: Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. This game is enomously popular and has been a favorite of many.

The game has a simple concept: build and mantain a theme park. To those that ever played any of the "Sim" games such as Sim City 3000, 4, or Sim Theme Park, this share the same basic concept. It is a typical simulation game. However, I find it very addictive and love this game!

You start with different missions, you are given a land and are required to obtain a certain goal, mostly get a certain amount of people in your park, mantain a 600 Park Rating, by a certain time, such as by 4 years. I find them all very easy done, and it is not very challenging. However, it is all still EXTREMELY fun. It is the satisfication of watching the roller coasters you built bloom and attract guests. It is the satisfication of watching a boring chunk of land be a hit amusement park. It is the satisfication of expanding your park to be bigger, and have more rides, and attract more and more people. This is one of the best games out there, and I haven't checked out Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 yet, but this is my favorite game for my PC, and that's REALLY good because I genrally pefer action games.

Roller coaster tycoon lacks flashy graphics, but the sounds are amazing. The scream of the people on the roller coaster, the zoom of the go-karts, the ca-ching sound of making money, the boom of the thunder when it rains in your park. The game has a simple yet specific money management, though it is frustrating to wait to collect money to fund your next project- a typical drawback of many simulations. Another cool thing is the actually designing of a roller coaster, which is like an art, choosing the turns, drops, loops, etc. The only drawback is that just the slightest drop, and the ride gets a rating of "Ultra-Extreme" and nobody will dare to ride it. Each guest can be clicked on to examine what foods/drinks he's bought, or what rides, how much money, or even how happy he is. The game is very addictive and definetly deems a reccomendation from me. All simulation fans or Sim City fans will definetly love this game, and it is very easy to learn to play. I even think this video game has an educational value, with the finance and money managing, and construction skills. It is a game that will appeal to people ages 10-100. Definetly get this game!

This game is great.There are 22 scenarioes for you to proceed through and you get an ultimate surprise if you win all 22 challenges.Building Roller Coasters can be a hit.But don't build them too intense or people will jump, or otherwise vomit. (yes, I said vomit, but it's not that bad)This coaster game has it's props and cons.
Props
-lots of rides
-realistic
-good game

cons
-it should be if the ride is boring people won't ride it, instead of if the rides too intense latter won't ride it.
-little parks
-too hard

Overall, GREAT!

Okay, let me start off by saying that this game is awesome.
I have had for about 2 years but havent played it cause my computer was messed up. So yesterday I started playing and couldnt stop. In the game you can build the amusement park if your dreams. If there is a part in the game when you need more money, dont worry, just increase your loan. As you progress in the game, you get new types of rides you can build. Like, for example, when you start the game on the first scenario, the only type of rollar coasters you can build are wooden and mini-steel roller coasters. As you progress, you can build steel, single rail, suspened, and even more types of coasters. If you are smart, you will go out and buy this game.

A Great Game

This is a fantastic game. At first it is tricky learning how to build roller coasters that guests will actually ride, but pretty soon it gets easier. There are only a few flaws to this game: first of all, the guests in the game are incredibly stupid. You can have a park where the path is just one loop, and they will still get lost and make your park rating go down. Also, some of the parks are quite annoying, but you have to beat them all in order to get to a final, bonus park called Mega Park. Believe me, it is worth going through all the parks for Mega Park. This game also has an expansion pack which came out recently, and another one which is coming out soon. If you are interested in more ride variaties and scenarios to beat, buy the second expansion pack when it comes out, since it includes the first one.

Roller coaster Tycoon by Chris Sawyer is a theme park strategy game, It is a game that makes you want to actually ride coasters even if you hate them, It makes you belive you are creating a real theme park. The Interface is almost the same as chris swayers earlier game Transport Tycoon and it is very easy to use. The gameplay was easy, I was able to figure out the tool bar icons without much trouble. The gameplay is that you have to manage a theme park and complete the given objective within the time limit, You could borrow money from the bank and there are limitations to how much you can borrow. There are almost every type of ride you see in real theme parks in this game, Kiddies train, Chartlift, Merry go round, Bumper cars, Go karts, 3D cinemas, Boat rides, Obsevation tower, Force lift, and ofcourse Roller coasters, There is every type of coaster in the world from. Besides these there are many trees and when you build a pond ducks will come there. The hardest part of the game is Building coasters that would work and the ones the guests would ride, There are lots of already built coasters but desinging your own is a lot of fun. The bad thing about Rct is that it comes without a screnario editor, You can only play only the available screnario's, Most of the screnarios are very small in size, You cannot build outside the park and not all parts of the land are available for sale and the park is are almost half built. The research tool is bad too, It takes a lot of time and some times it comes up with rides useless for the current park. You can costumize them but they are in a mess too, If you need just gentle rides it may research a chartlift in a very small park. Still Rct is the best strategy game i have ever played, I loved it, I played it for 5 hours and didnt know that i was on so long. Rct is a must for people who love computer games and have the system requierments. It doesn't take a coaster nut to fall in love with this game, Get it.

This is a GREAT game!

I have never written an online review before, but this game is so good, I have to say something. I have written computer games and programs (as a serious hobby) for about 15 years. The design of this game is unbelievable - nicely detailed graphics, incredible sound effects of coasters and carnival music and people laughing and screaming on the coasters, and very addictive gameplay - it is so much fun, and so many hours fly by while you are totally immersed in it. I disagree with the guy who says the interface isn't so great - it's just fine and once you get the hang of building your own roller coasters (which you don't have to do until you're up to it), it is really amazing what you can do. If you're thinking about getting this game, I hope you do ...

no title

You may not even need my review, i mean, just look at the average costumer rating!! out of 550 reviews it still hase 4.75 stars.

so basicly you build your own theme park by managing it feeding guests entertaining them, and not getting them sick. it is quite a challenge. im not gonna go on and on about this game because it is only 10 bucks and has a great overall rating.

so here is a little advise: BUY IT

im speechless
