I'm fairly adept with computers and have a brand new system and the latest OS and driver sets. I have tried repeatedly to play this game. What I get is a blurred (ghosted) monitor screen. My display adaptor exceeds requirements, I have sent e-mail messages to Hasbro for technical help, but have not gotten any response.

The game crashed after two minutes of use when clicking the right mouse button. Technical support says that the game is not compatible with many mouse drivers and is not compatible with Windows NT. They also say there are no plans to fix the crashing mouse problem.
The installation program gives no clue that Windows NT is not a supported operating system.
The game appears to be clunkily designed. The build feature require going through multiple windows without keyboard support. Mouse clicking small window buttons could lead to eye strain and hand strain sooner that keyboard enabled windows.

This caused me D.amage O.ver T.ime to play this game. The graphics are incredibly horrible seeing that we are in a new age. The gameplay is ok, but not even worth writing three reviews about. All praise should be deleted from this. There is no fun involved. There is limited interactive environment and the economy makes it WAY to easy to build a roller coaster. Must be more complicated, and much more detailed.
NOT WORTH IT

Great game but it gets so Frusterating when all your guest get so mad. I have this game, and at first i liked it but it is a mission impossible to win or inprove your park. If you ever make a cool ride all your guest's hate it and start to get mad and then leave.
EXTREMELY disappointing!!!!!!!!!

There are sevrel things in this game that make it stupid, annoying, and weird. PEOPLE GET KILLED! This is one of the main reasons I didn't like the game. Perhaps a little too life-like. Then, EVERYONE in your park has a certain race and gender: All boys that have black hair. You can use credit-card like money tools (fund) to get you in DEBT! An annoying thing is that it is supposed to be that some people like gentle rides and some like intense rides. You think it's true, but it's NOT! In every amusment park I build, I build a Ferris Wheel, and then within a few months, everyone in the whole park is programed NOT to go on it! The same goes for EVERY ride! This proves that it is all programing, and not whether people think it is intese or not. Finally, the rides are ALWAYS breaking down almost EVERY minute of gameplay! You hire machanics, and sometimes they don't even listen to you, and don't fix the rides. Then there's a chance the ride crashes and people get killed! I recommend not buying it for those who don't like the stuff listed. If I had a choice, I'd give this game negitave 1 stars.
Not bad, but lacks somthing...entertainment

This game is fun...but takes ALOT of time to beat a level! In alot of the levels you have to play for AT LEAST 3 hours to beat it, even if ur fulfilling all the requirements of the level!
Slow to Get Going, Repetitive to Play

It's an inventive idea, but there's a lot of work to setting up this game (unlike some of the other Sim games) before it really gets going. The set-up time before the park was really up and running--i.e., before the game became fun, really--was just too daunting. We gave away the CD-rom to a 10-year-old (who does love it!)
