This game is the best game ever!!!! I love the part about making your own senario! If I could tell anyone what my favorite game is I would say Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

Chris Sawyer has done it again!

This will be THE SWEETEST RCT game yet, and since it will include new rides, Six Flags scenarios and rides, waiting 2 months will be the longest 2 months of my life! I am a huge fan of Roller Coaster Tycoon games, and this one will be awesome. Get it.

Great series, disappointing sequel

After a very long time with no official site updates or new changes to the game, it was exciting to hear that RCT developers were coming up with a new sequel to the Original Rollercoaster Tycoon.
The new sequel is like the original RCT1 with all it's expansion packs combined with technical changes. The sequel has scarcely changed and this has more disadvantages than advantages. Before explaining about the "down sides' let's talk about what this game is like. Rollercoaster Tycoon series are about designing your own park, managing it, analysing it, and building the rides and attractions, and creating the ultimate park. Also to that, the developers did lot of field research and added realism to the game as well as adding great physics engine to ride construction, and almost every material in the game really exists. And one of the most remarkable source in the game is the ride construction engine and system. It has the most incredibly simple and extremely free system in construction of rides and gives great depth of creativity, so you can either build a great rollercoaster or a terrible one -All the rides have a excitement, intensity, and nausea value due to it's design- rollercoasters and other track rides can be built by placing track segments.
The park design and management in the game is challenging enough to keep the fun in the game: one ride or one food stall misplaced may cause great loss in profit and park value; price every rides every stalls by analysing the circumstances; angry and dissatisfied guests, or no guests in the park even if you have the perfect rides or value are all the things you'll have to handle in this game. And these things can make you pause the game to analyze the park just to place a burger stall or dealing with the financial board to check your park growth or income from all of the park things.
Although the RCT1 and RCT2 has all these great sources in the game, there are few things that keeps the RCT2 down. First of all, nothing really changed. You select a park and achieve the objective given to you with each scenario and it's almost the same with RCT1, like increasing guests and park value and all those same things. And this game constantly and loads anytime if it has the chance. Which is frustrating because it even loads when exiting to the main menu. To make matters worse, all the scenarios in the game are all unlocked from the start. RCT1 added good old arcade game feature to increase the fun of the game and make the scenarios unlocked if you finish other available parks, so RCT2 loses one of RCT1's advantages. Some people might look forward to the park creator tool, but it's too time consuming and not as easy as it looks. They could have added more improvements in the game like multiplayer mode by the internet for players to challenge their tycoon skills.
Anyway RCT2 era it almost over and the new sequel Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is being developed with high-quality 3D graphics and diversity in guests with more personality to them. But if it isn't accompanied by a major positive change in the game, it's not going to be a greater game than its earlier versions.
To sum up, Rollercoaster Tycoon series is a great series but the first sequel of the original Rollercoaster Tycoon needs to be looked carefully before you decide to get it.

Yay

I absolutely love this game. The worst thing about playing was the continual reminder that people were complaining about the litter in my park...so, I kept hiring handymen to clean it up...Finally...after about 10 hours into the game...I found the trash bins in the accessory panel...duh...once that got cleared up...I had an uninterupted ball! Truly a great fun game.

A lot of additions, great gameplay, but why not 3-D?

The original game had a fantastic user interface, addicting gameplay, and a pretty good roller coaster editor. But why not keep up with the times in PC gaming and make this sequel 3-D? I have not doubts that this game will be just as good, if not better than the original. But to not make this 3-D leaves me a bit disappointed. Having said that, I'm sure that I will still be spending countless hours in front of my PC building the 'perfect' coaster. I wonder if they will let you build a wooden roller coaster that goes upside down like the Son of Beast at Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio?

Good, but be careful

I loved this game, but a couple of days ago, when I was installing it on my new computer, I heard a popping noise. I open the disc tray to find out that my disc had shattered into peices, with some of them IN my computer. Now my dad has to take my computer apart and take the peices out. If it did major dameges, I am going to have to get a totally new computer AND buy another copy and hope it dosen't break. It is a good game, just not good enough for a hammer. ( But then again, no game is.)
