This game wants to be great. The patch finally came out and it runs pretty good now. One more new patch and all the issues should be resolved. Go buy this one now. If you enjoyed RC 1&2, this one's gonna make you wet your pants.
best game ever

Only Good in the advertisments!

There are way better games out there than this one. If you're looking for a game where you don't have to keep up the park rating, or manage you're annoying staff, then here are some other games you may be interested in:
1. No Limits Rollercoaster Simulator
2. Ultimate Ride Simulator
In these games, you don't have to worry about funds, or anything. Just simply building and riding roller coasters. This game looks really good in the previews, but don't buy it unless you can really like riding roller coasters.
good, but dissapointed

The system requirements for the game are much higher then I think most of the people who play this game have. My computer is good, but it crashes my system all the time. I feel they spent way too much on graphics and the ride cam, and left the old spirit of the game out. Still fun to play though, and the new shops and rides are nice. I really enjoy the sandbox mode to create without restrictions.
Stinks!!

I had Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and it was awesome and when I heard 3 was coming out last year around this time.. I thought I have to have it. Well I got it for Christmas last year and I was so frustrated!!! I've tried several times to play the game and it was so hard. I can't believe you expect kids to learn how to play it when an adult can't. The 3D images were great however learning how to zoom in and out and other things were very difficult. Then having to build the roller coasters from scatch and no choice of having one built already stinks. It takes so long to build a roller coaster and it's so easy to mess it up. Not very easy to figure out fireworks and other things as well. I definitely don't recommend this game to anyone. If they want to buy a roller coaster game, I highly suggest the older one more than this one. I wish I was able to rate this game zero stars... a waste of money.
its so cool

Well... I had bought this game, but hadn't opened it yet when I read all the reviews on here up until that point. From the looks of things, I have seen MANY complaints of games crashing, video pausing and the like. This being my dad's computer, I am not willing to take that risk until I hear that Atari has fixed these bugs and whatnot. So I gave this game 3 stars because in theory, it LOOKS and SOUNDS like a great game, based on screenshots and videos. If they could just get the game to work right, we'd be all set!
I went out this morning and exchanged my unopened RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 game for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill pack. I've heard THAT was worth the money.
Good Game Except Some Stuff

This game is a cool game except for these things:
1. This game is extremely complicated.
2. It has some things that little ones shouldn't see.
3. It takes a lot of room on your computer.
But if you have alot of room on your computer, are a good computer person and are a little older this is the game for you!
Also recomended:
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

I Love the original RCT and the second. When I got this game I installed played it for about 20 minutes uninstalled it and zapped the disc in the microwave. Now it is a neat looking coaster! This game is completely different from what made RCT a great game. I felt like I was playing a crappy version of the Sims. I hated it! Also hated the way the booklet refers to people as peeps, it drives me crazy just reflecting back on it!

Aggghhh! I can't believe my XP can't handle it. The game crashes, even with the smallest of rollercoasters built. Any more than 20 people in the park and it packs up. Forget the scenarios: They've already got too much in them for my PC to cope with. I havn't given this game a proper fun rating because I really don't have much idea how it plays yet. I havn't had much chance.
Luckily, I'll be getting a top of the range PC early next year. My ones got jittery of late anyway. So, hopefully, I'll be able to give a proper review soon. I'm hopeful, since many reviwers here have got it working long enough to assess it in detail.
