This is one of the bestest computer games ever.. My son cannot stop playing it.. which is a problem by itself..it is incredibly realistic and actually quite educational because there are lots to learn about math in there. You should stop reading this right now..and rush to your favorite store and get this ..and the associated expansion pack which is cool.
Chris Sawyer is our hero..
Addictive!

This awesome game is great!! You get complete freedom of the park! The roller coasters are impressive. You can even make your own roller coasters. This game is beyond words.
Bloodless fun!

This game is loads of fun, and almost no bloodshed! The only violence is if you accidentally drown a guest or staff member by removing the footpath out from under him, so he falls into the water. Or if you crash a rollercoaster with people on it. (This can be fun in a perverse sort of way.) It can be enjoyed by all ages (I'm an adult). Scenarios are only slightly repetitious, but there are many challenges to engineering and creativity skills built in.
Very Very Good

This game is in my opinion the best computer game that has been made. Everything on it is so great. They didn't miss much when programming it. I have other games where you build themeparks but they don't have as good of graphics and you don't have as much freedom and technology as RTC (Roller Coaster Tycoon). If you like theme parks- and even if you don't but enjoy building and imagiming yourself running a business, this game is really for you. When my friends come over to my house, I don't want to show RTC to them if fear that they'll be glued to the computer for the rest of the time. That's how great a game it is. You'll love it!!!
As much fun for Mom as for Junior

My eight-year old son received Roller Coaster Tycoon for Christmas, and he and I have enjoyed many happy hours developing theme parks together. One warning--this game can be addictive! In addition to having fun, my son is learning some things about business -- if he prices his rides too high, no one will ride them, some rides lose their effectiveness after they've been in the park for awhile, etc. I'm just having fun!

Roller Coaster Tycoon has to be one of the best and most addictive computer games I have ever played! This is no joke, this game is awesome, you can build and manage a giant amusement park, build terrifying roller coasters, and keep your guests happy. I love this game so much, that I have all 3 games of RCT.
Also guests that can't handle the big rides can choose from many other amusing rides, such as a carousel and sometimes guests can vomit all over your pathway if the nausea on the roller coaster is 2 high. Also, roller coaster tycoon.com and other websites can give u trainers, that are huge cheats. Hire matinence workers, handymen, security guards and entertainers to upkeep your park.
So strap yourself in for the best game Tycoon has ever made.

There seem like endless designs, rides, and locations to play around with in this game. Although the excessive throw up from nauseous guests may seem a little unrealistic, the game itself, (especially the coasters), is exciting and fun. Graphics are good, and it's always fun sacking mechanics and handymen. As time progesses, based upon the amount of research funding you give out, new rides, stalls, theming, and improvements are developed, keeping your interest and expanding your parks. This is a great game, especially for someone who is into their roller coasters.
THIS GAME IS A GOOD SIM

At first, you fall in love with the game!! It can not be put down. The graphics are incredible. There are also many different rides to choose to build. You can build and manage your very own theme park!! It is a must have for any sim lover or any theme park enthusiastic.

this game, is suitable for any age! it's something to cure bordom or something to look forward to playing! and once you start, it's hard to stop with this game! you get drawn into building more fun and exciting rides and making all the money that you can, while meeting all the objectives! for insomniacs (like me for ex.) this is great! it will keep you busy all night long.... totally worth the money you pay for it!
A new obsession!

I was fortunate enough to receive this as a Christmas gift and in under a week I have become completely addicted to it. I have always been a fan of theme parks and now I am enjoying designing my own in between expensive trips to the real ones. The first evening I sat down to play I ended up bolted to the chair for eight and a half hours. I look forward to toying with this every single day, always trying to improve my existing parks or design a newer, better one. I can't wait to go out and buy the expansion package. There should definately be more than five stars for this one.
