Unfortunatley I'm hooked on this game. Not sure why they named it what they did. This game is about building an entire park, not just a roller coaster. There are many ways to monitor your park and its growth. Many options to explore keep it interesting and fun. Set an alarm clock or you'll find out that morning comes quick.
I couldn't get my family off!

I bought this game for Christmas on a sort of a whim and it was the hit of our holiday season! The only problem was I couldn't get near our new computer because my sons (ages 11, 8, and 6) were watching my brother (in his 30s) play this game for two days straight!
Awesome!

This game is so great! There are so many details, not only in the graphics, but how to be successful at the game. Appealing to the customers is a big challenge. This game is so addictive! You get to design and create everything, from walk ways and scenery to the rides themselves. Hedge mazes, roller coasters, water rides, etc. You have to hire various staff members to keep the park running, including entertainers that walk around in panda costumes. Very cool game.
The BEST for all time and FOREVER!

I LOVE rollercoasters and therefore love this game. It is most likely the best sim ever. I mean fourteen different types of rollercoasters plus your favorite thrill rides, water rides and traditional rides. This is by far the greatest game ever played for those lovers of amusement parks. Compared to theme park (from bullfrog) this game is heaven. Any game where you can crash roller coasters, drown people and still have a happy bright child friendly game is great! I love and reccomend ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON!
This Game is Fun, But Gets Dull Fast

Roller Coaster Tycoon is a fun game and very addictive, but only for a while.
The first few weeks were a lot of fun playing this game, but after that it becomes too predictable and boring. The problem with it is that it is virtually impossible to fail at or lose. No matter what you do, within reason, and you will make money and expand your amusement park. After a while this proved boring for me and I felt like it was unchallenging and a waste of time.
Another thing I did not like about the game is that the money values are unrealistic. For example, I can charge $40 to get into the park and $2 for each ride, which is all right. But I can also buy a huge multi-million dollar roller coaster for $10,000. I found this part of the game disappointing.
gets you hooked

This is a really fun game to play you can make money and loose money. There are certain objectives that you have to do like earn a certain amount of money and have a certain amount of people and a certain amount of the park value. This is a really good simulation type game. Plus you can control where the people go and you can kill some people in the water and sometimes the rollercoaster will chrash and kill people. That is really fun when you get board.
Yes, this game is ADDICTING :^)

Great game for kids to adults. Too bad it doesn't have network play which would make it; 6 ****** stars? Save your games so you can go back and practice making great roller coasters at Forest Frontiers. The shorter the ride time, the more money you'll make. Have FUN & ENJOY the game ;)
Awesome, Fun, Dull, Boring.

When i first bought this game roughly a year ago i thought it would be something that would last for a long time. Dont get me wrong or anything, the game was great, but after a while the fun dimmed down. After playing the scenario over and over again got boring. Also, the game gives you goals for your park and a timelimit to achieving that goal, in my mind i believe the game should have let you win if you achieved the goal before the time limit, instead of waiting for hours to complete. The gameplay is good and balanced and graphics aren't bad from a birds eye view point. Replay on the other hand is a set back. After coming back to play this game day after day, its seemed old and boring. Sounds are also bad and annoying (except the people screaming on your roller coaster.) All in all i expected more, but i was glad i bought it and it is still on my hard drive today.
One of The Best PC Games Ever!

I just want to say this is a really great addicting game! You build your own theme park and in the process have to meet certain goals. There are plenty good rides and stalls you can purchase for your park and you can set advertising and research funds. Overall, through this short review, I am truly pleased with the quality of this game and would suggest it for anyone!
So much fun!!!!!!

If you're looking for a game where you can create your own theme park, this is the one for you! SimCoaster is okay, but this is THE rollercoaster game of the century. In Rollercoaster Tycoon, you can build your own theme park in different scenarios. There are tons of rollercoaster styles that are fun to build. Plus there are lots and lots of other awesome rides to put in your theme park. This game is not very difficult, it's just a fun game. Hire policemen, handymen, mechanics, and entertainers to keep your park together & upbeat. Watch visitors ride the exciting and wild rides. Plus more. This is a very fun & addictive game that I reccomend to anyone of any age. Get this today!
