This game is to much fun for words. It is addictive. It is a great game because you find out how to run a theme park. It is also sure to like this game.
Awesome!

This game is the best! Though some of the ideas are similar to those in the Playstation game "Theme Park", this game is beyond comparison. With a variety of roller coasters, as well as other rides, it's a lot of fun. There are many different scenarios. You only start with five, and you must win the rest. The nice thing is that this task is challenging, but still possible. It's easy to learn to play, and unlike "Theme Park", you can build coasters right away, and instead of having a bunch of identical parks, each park is unique. One word of caution: You WILL become addicted!
An excellent game at any price

I admit it. I love strategy games. I'm a sucker for them. Having bought RCT on a whim (a moment of weakness?), I have since then NEVER regretted the decision to purchase it. The concept is simple; design a park that successfully gets customers to enjoy thrilling rides and attractions while fulfilling certain objectives. Believe me, it's not as easy or simple as it sounds. But, if you enjoy strategy games, like me, that stretch your creativity and imagination, RCT is definitely for you. This game is also one of the few strategy games that doesn't reward violence -- therefore making it a family-friendly game. All in all, this is one of the best games on the market. Its reasonable price only adds to its appeal.
Addictive but FUN

WOW this is one of the greatest games I have ever played. However don't get this product if you have anything important to do beacuse you will not get it done. Just the right balance of fun, challenge, and frustration. Overall a great game.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is a great game for computer gamers of all ages. With all of it's corkscrews, flips, loops, and turns, there is nobody that should pass up this game. It will run great on most computers, and has stunning realism. I still havent been able to quit playing, there is always something new to discover.
Almost the perfect game.

This is such a great game! It's relatively easy to be sucessful, but it is never boring. The only things I would like to see done differently are 1) have a greater variety of thrill rides, and 2) make more scenarios where you get to build a park from scratch. The scenarios where there's already a perk there just aren't as much fun. Otherwise, the game challenges you think creatively and to use at least some of that high school physics that you though you had forgotten.
This game is very addicting!

Since I got this game, I have been playing it non-stop. It is so much fun. The graphics are great, you can see the little poeple drinking their sodas and reading there maps. I definitely recommend this game. I'm getting the expansion pack now.
Enjoyable

This game is great! I can be down on the computer all day playing it! I enjoy naming all the people in my park, making rides or attractions, and then watch the people ride them! Sometimes the people get sick too. I really enjoy playing this game and if you are looking for a present for some one, get this game!
