Same but New

For those of you who write reviews without owning the productor even the demo or even bothering to read pc magazines for reviews or who do not bother to go to things like E3 to look at the new innovative ideas being introduced by certain companies, let me be of aid to you.

First, Time Twister is the same pathetic attempt to acheive EA's 'The Sims' status. But why not? The Sims games are ALWAYS number one when they release, so as far as the manufacturer is concerned, they don't care what you think or feel. They make money off your greed for more of the same. So fork it over, you know you want it.

Second, It's not the same. you can bet on that. It's just not done the right way, but like I said they make money so it doesnt really matter what I think. Time Twister adds the element of scenarios from some of the first amusement parks ever built all the way to futuristic parks with outstanding and unbelievable new rollercoaster designs, and no, they didn't just make different cars for the same rides, they added new stuff, too. It adds new Six Flags rides (of course) and new Six Flags Scenarios (hopefully Astroworld and Fiesta Texas will get some recognition now, since TEXAS KICKS BUTT) along with a plethora of new theming objects that sadly could have just been added by a patch over the internet website.

Third, These games sell because even though at times they may loose their addictiveness, they are still fun to piddle around with when your board, you can do some pretty cool things, like making twisters into common shapes like airplanes or cubes or race tracks. And face it, there is a bit of a feeling of accomplishment when you finish a ride that has a skyrocketing excitement but a low nausia and intinsity, it feels like if your job now doesnt work out, at least you could design rollercoasters one day.

Fourth, those who talk bad about this game and say that it stinks are the ones that stink at it. They are not good at strategy or responsibility and keeping up with the multiple number of boundaries and buttons. And financial information can get too difficult for their puny minds, even though the box says E for everyone it should be O for Old enough to know two plus two. So don't bother taking into account their Bologne. "DON'T BE HATIN'" This series is great and is a lot of fun if you get into it with the mindset that you need the tutorial, YOU ARE NOT A WIZARD, you need a little help. So get the help and study the techniques, and after a while you will have a collection of coasters to be happy about and show off to your friends and to the world and who knows, maybe some day Chris Sawyer will actually pay attention to his own website and like your idea.

Can't get any worse

Well, I bought RCT2 and thought it was cool, but I still like RCT better. When Wacky Worlds came out, I did not hesitate to buy it due to my previous experiences with the RCT expansion packs. When I installed it, I found that the number of senerios had doubled, so I was exited. I began playing a level and discovered that the rides were slightly altered to be themed with the senerio. I noticed that I didn't have any new real rides but I had lots of senery, but it was too much to really use all of it.

SO basically, I was just really disappointed with it. Based on this information I can conclude that Time Twister expansion pack can't get any worse than RCT2: WW, unless it is just like it.

Think long and hard

I think you really need to buy this for the right reasons. YES, it will crowd your computer more. NO, it's not as good as the box claims. New rides are fairly much cockamammie new designs -- like new carts or something. Scheme. I think that yes, it's fun, no it's NOT worth it!

True, the game may stink, but....

Okay, fine, maybe this is horrible. And I agree. But one major thing is that CHRIS SAWYER DIDN'T WORK ON IT (nor did he on crappy worlds). This game had nothing to do with CS, which is why it's bad. Anyway, this is no bettere than WW, just another scenery expansion pack, no real new rides. It's horrible. Just download the User Created Expansion Set (do a google search).

What is the point...

of this expansion pack? It doesn't really seem to serve any purpose. It's basically a bunch of new scenery, alot of which seems borrowed from other games, like Age of Mythology. The title of the package Time Twister is really misleading, what's the time twisting element in the game? You get a bunch of era themed scenery. Great. Don't waste your money on it, if you must have it, wait until the price goes down. I give it two stars because it has a few new era themed rides that are fun, but that's it.

what a waste of money and computer space

do you like creating , riding , and controlling REAL rollercoasters??? If you do go to No limits Rollercoaster simulator.com and down load a game that completely blows this sorry game out of the water. (better graphics, and you cand ride the coasters!!! and create them also) If you must- get the first rollercoaster tycoon 2- its a decent title BUT stay far away from the expansion packs they STINK- a complete waste of money.

Can't wait till tomorrow

Hooray its finally OCT. 20th. I have been counting down to tomorrow and right after shcool im gonna ask for someone to take me to toys r us and buy this game because its only $16.00. I wanna get there early as possible so i can beat the crowds and the games not sold out. I hope they at least stocked more than like 20 because this game might be really popular on the first day. I wanna also be the first 1 on the computer cause everyone else is usually hogging it.......So in other words beat the crowds to the nearest store and ask today so you dont worry tomorrow. Oh yeah and i hope my mom doesnt say i have to wait for Christmas. I'll be like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it will be allot better win the new Rollercoaster Tycoon Time Twister Expansion Pack comes out I hope it be allot better. I hope they add time to it like Day and Night. When gets dark all lights come on. And they should add a life gaurd to save people in the water. That what someone else told me. Also they should add some cars like they drive by and people come in out there car. And come in the park. And I hope the new Add-On for this game will make the game hole lot better just like the cover should show in the real life.

Another Great Expansion Pack!

I think this expansion pack should be awesome! All of the others were! I have every RCT and RCT2 game available and I sure as heck will have this one! If I had an XBOX I would have that one too! Anyway! Every expansion pack does add new rides not just new trains! Personally, I think RCT2 is the best thing that's ever happend to Chris Sawer! Wacky worlds was ,OKAY! It added a few new rides and ride elements! The addition of the original RCT2 was great! The idea of adding six flags parks and rides is awesome! I think, if it's as good as the others, that every coaster fan should own TIME TWISTER!

Really great & fun to play.
