Lots of fun. OK on the longevity list.

This was a lot of fun, but got to be repetitive after about 2 months of use. Take a look at the Age of Empires game if you're looking for ever lasting and non tiring fun.

The company needs to have Roller Coaster Tycoon for an imac or other mac computers. It's such a fun game, but not everyone can enjoy it.

This game is very fun you get addicted. It is very realistic, people even throw up on the side walks after getting off of the roller coasters. Alotough I think that aftera while of playing this game you get very tired of it.

Good Game, Missing a Few Things

I have played this game for 1.5 years now. Its great and addictive and is very different from what I have played before. It draws you in as the scenarios get tougher and your will to beat them skyrockets. The gameplay is good, but can lag, and the time in the game moves slow. I feel its a good game to play if your bored and you should buy it and try it yourself. Beware, its addictive.

A Lot of Fun Once you Get Past the Learning Curve

I am normally not a real big fan of "sim" type games, so I waited a while to buy this one. I didn't like it all that much at first, but after picking it up I really got to like it. This game is very precise and fairly realistic, which makes it hard to learn, but also a lot of fun to play once you have.

The animation and sound in this game are spectacular. You build all sorts of amusement park attractions for your guests, and then you watch them walk around your park like little ants. All of the sounds of a theme park are there. The clickety-clack of the roller coaster chains, the screams of the riders as the coaster plunges down the hill, and the laughs of the children and yes. The programmers even included the cheesy music that they play for the bumper cars.

Anything that moves can be clicked on and examined. The level of precision and the amount of choices that you have in this game are fantastic, and sometimes overwhelming. The game consists of twenty-some scenarios that gradually get harder. Each time that you finish one, you get a new challenge, which keeps the game from getting too easy as you become more proficient.

The roller coasters have realistic physics. This is both good and bad. The good part -- if you are a roller coaster enthusiast, then you will love being able to design a working coaster. You control everything, from the height of the first drop to the colors of the trains. The bad part - designing even a mediocre coaster can get very tedious and expensive. One big coaster will chew up all of your cash, and if you are playing a short scenario, you probably won't be able to build another one. In addition, coasters take up a lot of space, and because of this, your park usually runs out of it. I have played almost all of the scenarios, and I have never really gotten to build the "ultimate" mega-coaster.

The one aspect of this game that I found to be annoying was the tendency of kids to get sick from your rides. This aspect of the game was BADLY overdone (maybe the writers thought it was supposed to be cute). Even if they don't get sick, a lot of them will be afraid to ride it. The park customers are total wimps. You can build a 120-foot tall standup roller coaster with 3 inversions and nobody will ride it, because it is too "intense" (whatever that means). The roller-coaster physics might be realistic, but the customer behavior definitely is not. This is one of a few examples of questionable AI in this game. Still, as a roller-coaster enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed this game.

Roller coaster tycoon is a fun filled game, but there is one set back, it takes a VERY LONG TIME to get to the mega park, or even to get half way down the long list of scenarios. In my oppinion this game just takes to long to finish. But don't get me wrong, if you have a lot of time on your hands, this is an excellent game!

This game enables you to design your own rollercoasters. From very little to the corkscrew you can design your coaster anyway you'd like. Also have to manage your park higher custodians,mechanics,and animals to keep your costomers happy. Do advertisments to attract people to your park with coupons. Build refreshment stands to keep your costomers in your park.

This is a great game and remake of the original "Theme Park" made in the early 90's (?). It is so addicting and time consuming so make sure you've got plenty of time to waste before you sit down to play. (...) It's definitely a great game, although the graphics aren't quite up to snuff with today's technology, but you get over that. It definitely has challenges, too, so don't think you can just breeze through the scenarios. A definite buy for your family gamer.

gameplay above graphics - RCT excells!

ROLLER COASTER TYCOON is a prime example that gameplay will get you a lot longer than shiny graphics ever will. The game may be technically infirior to THEME PARK, but RCT makes up for this with a much more addictive gameplay. In short: RCT is probably the most fun you'll ever have running a theme park on your PC.

A great christmas gift for my 10 year old nephew. It is the best thing I could have bought for him. It allows him to play and explore and learn at the same time. I wish they had this stuff when I was a kid.
