Spent many a sleepless night playing this game. They *finally* got it right! If you ever thought you could build the best roller coaster and wanted to see what it's like to actually ride it, you gotta get this game. It's so much fun to walk around in "camcorder" mode and check out the park you've built. Plus, getting on a ride and watching all these doe-eyed, chubby-cheeked kids screaming their heads off... too funny! Great, non-violent, non-stop entertainment. Make sure you've got a decent system - at least a P2-300 and a good 3D card as it does start to slow down once the park fills up.

Very Cool and Easy to use

This game can be your dream come true! You can build and manage your own dream theme park anyway you like as long as it can bring in enough revenue for expansion. If every visitor who comes into your park and enjoys it, you'll feel so much satisfaction. The animation is real cute and you'll be able to see all kinds of rides and EXPERIENCE them too! How? Simply click on the camera mode and there you GO! Fun right? Just play the game and you'll be able to experience rides of a theme park at home. Oh ya... what's more? You can also build your own roller coasters!

I suggest that if you wanna play this game, go for the CD-ROM version bacause the Playstation version is more lacking. I've played the Playstation version, and it can be considered boring. So if you want the most out of this game, do go for the CD-ROM version!

The Best Game EVER!

This is a real good game compared to Roller Coaster Tycoon. The graphics are awesome! I don't see how you could like RCT better. The 3D part of it is great.

Fun and Easy

My Grandma bought this for me because it was on sale for only 8 dollars at the nearest Sam's club. I thought it was an AWESOME game. I actually think this is better than Roller Coaster Tycoon. Look, this was the original one, this came out BEFORE Roller Coaster Tycoon so what's with all of this complaining? RCT is a great game but it can get a little frustrating at times. This one has you're own personal guide with you that tells you what to do. There isn't just some anoying buzzing noise that goes on telling you that a customer can't find the exit or some cr*p like that. Also, I think this is VERY impressing that it was ALREADY made in 3D unlike RCT and RCT2 and it already had the option of riding you're own rides. This game is very fun and easy but it's the kind of easy/a bit challenging game. Roller Coaster tycoon is VERY frustrating and is only easy when you first start out. Come on, guys, this came out 5 years before Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and it has all the stuff that RTC3 had already. Now, this game may be a little slow but you get use to it. Also, in the front of you're park, you get to see the customers enter through busses, airplanes, [I think] boats where as RTC you just see a boring river and a boring path with boring people walking into you're theme park. These character pretty much all look different with all different faces and stuff. Also, in this game, there isn't really a tough goal or anything you have to wait to loose on. It just tells you that you get a key to another park which is just as good as completing RTC.

You think I haven't said enough? Well, in this game, you have all of these little kidey theme parks with totally different worlds [Haunted, Wonderland, Space level] where as RTC you just get a boring grassland or something and you have to jazz it up on you're own. In this game, they also give you more starting off money to get what you want when you want it. If you feel hesitated in buying this awesome game by what the others have said, ignore them and get it and forget about them. This game is awesome.

So, now you heard it from me, why don't you go out and get this game?

gotta get this game!

I loved the originial Theme Park so I bought this one when I heard that it was out. I was not dissapointed with it! There was more parks you could build, more challange, and it was much more fun than Theme Park. The only problems that I had with it was that if your park got too busy, the computer would sometimes crash. The other one was the the advisior is very annoying! (Before you buy this you should be sure that your computer has at least 350mhz.)

I found this game to be very addictive. You get to make four theme parks. The first two are the easiest. The other parks are at higher levels, and I found them difficult to maintain financially. There are no cheats for this game that don't involve editing game files, so making money is very important. If you keep losing money, you will go bankrupt, and the game is over. There is ample help in this game, in the form of what appears to be a talking black ant. He will give you tips on what you should be doing. You can also use the camcorder view to walk around your park as a patron, but I found that this gave me severe motion sickness! The game is still enjoyable without using that option, though. The graphics are cute and cartoonish, as opposed to completely realistic, so if that bothers you, you probably won't like this game. Personally, I thought the cartoonish style was fun.

I have to respectfully disagree with what others have posted, when they said that riding the rides was not fun. There is only so much simulation you can do with riding a carnival ride in a computer game. I found the effects for the most part to be what I expected, and riding a rollercoaster you made is definitely fun. In regards to it being hard to make money in this game, that is true if you don't know this tip that I found on a hint web site: you should concentrate on having having lots of drink and food shops in proportion to your rides. That's where you really make your money in this game.

While I'm giving this game five stars, based on my own feelings toward it, I can think of four reasons a person would not enjoy it. If you don't like the cartoon-style graphics, as I mentioned before, you might have difficulty liking the game. The ant guy who helps you does get really annoying, but you can switch him off in options. The third thing is my personal pet peeve, which is the janitors can never get the place quite clean enough. The fourth thing is the biggie: this game comes with NO manual. None. It comes in an empty cd case, without even a front cover. So I'm not surprised that many people here can not figure out to build the coasters, because it's not like you get any help from a manual. Personally, I did find this game highly intuitive, so I didn't have any problems learning it, but reading the other reviews tells me that others did not have similar experiences.

By the way, I have not yet played Roller Coaster Tycoon, so I can't compare this game to that one at all.

Fun Game!

This is a nice game that includes an expansion pack [They call it "Gold edition"] that's already there and you can build your own rides. It is very fun and you can also ride your rides that you make !!! I love it so much, I've been playing it everyday ! Buy this !
