one of the best games I've ever played. The point of this game is to build the best amusment park and make money, and with that money make more rides and so on. Sometimes if you'r park is the safest you'll get an award, ect...........

This game was so much fun!!!! I love building the rides and hiring employees. The best part is watching the people ride your rides and, if it had a high nausea rating, the people turning green! This game will keep you at your computer. It is the best computer game I have ever played!
Probably Greatest Strategy EVER!!

Designing the next Alton Towers would be most people's dream and now you can! This game is easy to pick up and it is perfect!
You can design your own roller coaster way more sophistacatedly than on any other theme park games.
* You can higher or lower land.
* Add all sorts of scenery
* The people actually say a variety of different things and do a variety of different things. It tells you how much money each person has and what they are carrying as well as their favourite ride and lots of other stats.
* Litter and vandalism must be kept away by hiring staff and building litter bins.
* There are around twenty different landscapes, each with their own objectives. + you can buy add on packs to add loads more
* It is possible to actually play a perfect replica of Alton Towers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach if you get the Loopy Landscapes add on pack.
* Your park can win all sorts of awards including safest, tidiest, best value, most beautiful, cleanest toilets and more!
* When you design a roller coaster, you can then test it and you can find out it's average/max speed, and it's excitement, intensity and nausea ratings.
* I accidently killed 30 people because the brakes failed on my roller coaster.
* Your park is rated so you need this to be high to pass most objectives, plus the guest toll or the park value. There are usually time limits.
Overall: I would rate this in the top ten most fun games on any console/computer. If you own Theme Park World like me, You will be amazed on the huge gap between them! GET IT!
Cool

This game is so cool , you get to make your own rides or you could buy it already made. You also have workers to stop fights ,or claen up the park or fix rides when they break;but you have to pay them.
You can can read people's mind@! And if they need to go to the bathroom you can build an infodesk. you can let them get in for free or charge themm and they don't have to pay for the rides. then you have to build food stands so the people could get food
somthing to eat. it s alot of fun it's just like running a real busisseness
its sortof preparing you for life (...)
Amusement Park in your home

I Love this game! It is fun! I bought this for my 8 y.o son...but our whole family loves it. It is fun to build a theme park with all the rides you love. The down side is that you can play this game for hours and completely loose track of time. It is tons of fun...and with the expansion pack (loopy landscapes) you can just keep building bigger and better coasters and parks.
Great Fun

You're probably thinking: another simulation game on the market, I won't even bother. However, you are wrong if that is your opinion! This is a great game and you will play it so much you probably will lose sleep!!
The basic gist of RCT is building an amusement park. However, it isn't quite as simple as it sounds. There are special objectives for each course, and to get new scenarios, you need to meet these goals.
You can build your dream amusement park. It must include refreshment stands, rides of all sorts, bathrooms, and many other things that you can choose from.
There are many different types of rides, and you should build each type, because everyone in the park likes different types of rides.
Also, as you are in the game, you obtain new objects and rides as you go along. There aren't too many choices at first, but as the game progresses, you get more and more types.
You build rides from scratch, but if you are a daredevil like me, don't build your dream coaster, unless you want it to just sit there. That is the disadvantage of the game--my intensity and nausea ratings are always too high for the guests--they are GUTLESS!! So, make sure that you build rides and coasters that aren't "too intense" for the little wimps.
This is a great game overall, and if you like theme parks and amusement parks, you really should get this game.
So much fun!

I got this gane for Christmas last year, and from day one I loved the game. It's so much fun to rule the parks! It gives you so much satisfaction when you see that all of your customers happy! I played it in all of my spare time. Even my parents liked to play it once in a while! Anyway, this game is very highly reccommended by me!
