Awesome game, keeps you busy for HOURS on end... but don't bypass the instruction booklet :) They include many tips (bathrooms, pricing, etc) that will help you improve your park.
The option to build your own coasters is a blast.. much better than SimCoaster!
Nice

This game is one of the best out there. You dont need a supercomputer. In fact this is one game where the requierments will let it run just fine. Pros: very addictive, fun, realistic, low requierments. Cons: very easy, time consuming(there are time limits, but you need to wait until the time expiers-very annoying). Overall this game is well worth the money, expesaly if you buy loopy landscapes (the expainsion)

This game is great I am still playing it. You have a goal on each park to beat it. It has great roller coasters. You can build neat stuff like: Water Rides, Roller coasters, Monarail, Minitature railroad, shops and stalls, and theming objects. After you get this game I would advise you to get a Roller Coaster Tycoon expansion pack Loopy Landscapes. I rated it 4 stars because of it's much cooler if you get Loopy Landscapes with it. I would advise it to anyone, even adults.
A Good Solid Game

This is a great game, for the first month-and-a-half I was totally addicted. The game has you thinking about every aspect of the park. The rides, yor financial state, your employees, even the people themselves. you can actually click on a single person and see how hungry they are, if they fell sick, if they have to go to the bathroom, and what ride intensity they prefer. There are only two reasons that it did not recieve a five star rating from me. Number one, when you build a roller coaster you must be extreemly carefull not to make the ride too intense or too nauseating, or else nobody will want to ride it. Nuber two, after a while I found myself becoming board of the game, however it was probobally because I played it for so long without playing anything else. So I suggest if tou find yourself frustrated or board with the game, stop playing it and do something else for a week or two. I promise that when you pick it up again you will be perfectly hapy with it once again.
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is coming soon, but anyway:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run your own theme park????????????????????????? Well, if your answer is "YES", then buy this game and then you'll know! With a lot of different types of coasters, gentle rides, thrill rides, and shops and stalls. Hire some mechanics, handymen, guards, and entertainers, after all that your park will be thriving! With lots of scenarios to choose from (once you complete one, another on appears) So if I were you, GET THIS GAME!!!!!! No matter who you are, Anne Robinson, or not Anne Robinson!
I think you'd like it

I think that this game is yet educational and fun. If you want to have an amusment Park this is a great game to figure out if you still would want to be. It could get frustrating but it is So funny.

I definitly reccomend Roller Coaster Tycoon.When I first got this game I had it bad, real bad. It was way to addictive!Roller coaster tycoon includes 14 types of coasters like the steel mini roller coaster the steel roller coaster the steel corkscrew roller coaster and many more.Another thing that is fun about this game is that you can create your own roller coasters which is quite hard at first but you will get used to it in no time!You can even check on your guests by simply clicking on them you can check how much money they have and if they are hungry sick thirsty or they have to go to the bathroom.Be sure to include at least one expansion pack but it is not required to.So buy this game and no matter what age you are you will have lots of fun!!
Endless Fun!

I got this game for my birthday a month ago, and It's still a ton of fun! I mean, what could be more fun then running your own theme park! You design the roller coasters, hire(and fire) the staff, raise the entrance price...the list is endless! There is a dozens of scenarios, which leads me to my only complaint. Around 5/6 of th game you have to unlockby playing the avalible scenarios. Still, I recommend this game to ANYONE!
THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD!!!

This game is the 3rd best strategy game I own(The first is GETTYSBURG! and the second is Civil War Generals 2) ,the scenarios are easy to learn but difficult to beat. Five star graffics and reality too.
