Roller Coaster Tycoon is a wonderful game. It is good for children of all ages. Even my friend who is 7 loves it.The graphics are wonderful.It is a game that is not violant and is alot of fun.The only complaint I would have, would be that there would be some way to have unlimited amount of money.It is very annoying that in the middle of building a custom you run out of money and have to wait until you have the proper funds.Another annoying thing is there are too many trees in some parks,and you have too spend all your money on getting rid of them. The varitey of roller coasters you can choose from is great.The way you have to take care of the cleanliness of the park is important,or your guests might get mad. I think it is a great game overall.I think it is definetly worth the money.I think it is an awasome game!

What can I say? it's a gaming institution.

Its praise is well deserved. I play it, and my 6 year old daughter plays it. We both enjoy it. There are levels of difficulty for all gamers. You can build a standard park, with standard coasters, or you can focus on jumbo coasters.

The format of the game is scenario play. You have a few scenarios to begin with, and each time you complete it another scenario is available to play. Some are pretty challenging, especially the further along you get. Each is designed to test different skills.

Highly recommended for anyone!

Pros: Very addictive...you create the whole theme park from scratch and its very easy to learn how. You can hear what EACH of your customers are thinking (and you can have over 500 customers in your park at one time!!) and so can reinvent your park as many times as you like to please your customers. Because this game is a simulation game, you can save the game as many times as you wish and start it up again whenever you have time. And it starts from YEAR 1 and continues on forever....
Cons: All your customers have the same face and stature (just different clothes). They also all appear to be male. Very little differenciations when it comes to people.

RCT #1 Buy it and Enjoy it !

Very fun game , many parks and rides. Some of them are easy , some are hard and its all pretty great. You hire people to take care of your park but they don't always do it. The hired help are Sec. Officers (you will eventually need them) , Handymen (you will deffinately need them), Mechanics (You will so need them) , and Entertainers (get them if you want them). The roller coasters are great , loops , twists , boosters , on-ride photos(extra cash! YEAH!) and drops. It's all awesome! The in-between rides are::: gentel rides like merry-go-rounds , slides , dodgem cars and simple car rides. Thrill Rides like Scramled Eggs , Swinging ships , Launced Freefalls , and Go Karts. Water Rides such as water slides and boat rides. Traveling Rides like monorails , trains and chair lifts. Then you have Shop Stalls like french fries, sodas , cotton candy , souviner stalls , restrooms , info kiosks and restrooms. You should have a pretty entertaining time playin the game. ENJOY!

This game is a good game for those who are into the Sim games such as Sim Mania, Sim Golf, etc. It has a wide variety of features to make the game more realistic. These features include a selection of various scenarios to play, researching rides and attractions, design and build your own ride, ride break downs, vandalism, litter, and financial graphs and information. One thing that I do not like about the game is the fact that you are unable to ride the rides you create like you are able to do in Sim Theme Park. This game does not take up many system resources and comes with all the required software that is needed to play. Overall, I gave Roller Coaster Tycoon four out of five stars.

Get this Game!

This is a great computer game. It is not the best game i have played but it is way better than some of the other tycoons like mall tycoon or fast food tycoon. You get a lot of different rides to choose from, and you can get food places too. You get rides right away so you dont have to wait for them to finish researching them. Unlike other tycoons, you can really make the park your own by decorating it and changing ride colors. You can also hire workers that actually do stuff and you can see what the customers are thinking and they stay for a long time and spend a lot of money. I like this game a lot and think that whoever is thinking about getting it should get it if you love computer games like this!

Great Game

Roller Coaster Tycoon would be my favorite game, right next to The Sims. You wouldn't believe how much fun it is designing your own amusement park. You wouldn't believe how much fun it is to make your guests happy and reach objectives. This game is tons of fun, and is extremely addicting.

Fun and addictive

This game is very addictive. From the first time I played it at a friends house, I knew I had to own it. It mixes the real life challenges of operating a theme park with the creativity of your imagination. You can literally be control of everything, especially when you buy the expansion pack. This is truly a classic game (such as the Sim City Series) that everyone must own.

Oh, nothing...only THE COOLEST GAME EVER!

I remember way back when I was 9 or 10 years old, playing this game until the point where I wouldn't need to press the button to change my disk. This game is a totally fun, addicting game that will have you playing with your eyes glued to the computer screen for hours instead of doing your math homework! This game: is TOTALLY worth your money.
Here are some of the types of rides:

Water Rides
Roller Coasters (wooden or steel)
Thrill Rides
Calm Rides
(Not only are there rides, but stalls for bathrooms and food+drinks too. There are also additions like trees, fountains and flowers to add to the scenery)

Of course, the object to this game is to beat the objectives, which are set up in the game, and if you defeat them, you get some more scenarios, until you achieved them all, and finish the game! To do this, you must obtain a certain amount of guests, get a good rating for your park, within a couple of years (don't worry; this isn't really 2 years, a year goes by if you're playing it steadily), and you get another scenario! You can also receive trophies for good scenery, good roller coasters, ect. and loan money when you run out of it.
Here are the ratings I have for the CD's content:

Originality-A+
Roller Coasters, new scenarios? At least it's not the normal plot where you have to run all over the place and save the Princess/King/Easterbunny!

Graphics-A
Nice, and well-fitted together, but doesn't seem too realistic. How can you `stop' the ride to work on it and the guests suddenly disappear off of it? But, that's OK, that makes it interesting!

Sound-B+
Sound doesn't matter much on this game. All you really hear is guests laughing, and having a good time! You also can hear the music on the merry-go-`round, and roller coasters swinging around on their tracks.

Entertainment-A+
Can you say `addictive'? You'll be playing this game for hours! Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

Way too Addictive!!

Rollercoaster Tycoon takes in the path of all simulation games but adds more to it. First of all this game is highly addictive. I played for 5 hours straight without noticing the time. Next, It is hard to beat some levels but, that shouldn't be a problem. Last, I reccomend the 2nd one more than this. Thanks for reading!
