Yes, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 looks VERY different from the first and second versions of the game. Others have addressed some of these major differences and I echo these sentiments.
What I will add: If you are sensitive or suffer from motion sickness, be careful when "riding" a ride. I literally became quite ill with a migraine! I will say, however, my children LOVED this aspect of the game and can easily spend hours doing so.
The peeps can be a little disappointing. They wander around and get lost easily unless you have very SIMPLE paths. I also agree that sandbox is the way to go.
But this game is about building rides and the ability to do so in this is a fantastic feature. I think it is a little more challenging and not being able to make tunnels is a little disappointing but making some out of this world roller coasters will make it worth everything for some people.
I also have never had any problems running this on my system.
It's AWESOME!!!

I don't get why all my friends are hating on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. It's my favorite in the entire series of games!
The fact that you can design people to enter your park, design really awesome roller coasters that you can virtually ride, and the fact that there is a wider range of even more rides and coasters are all so incredible to make Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 my favorite in this entire selection of games!
I don't understand why everyone hates this one, because I don't understand where their hate is coming from, but I don't know. I guess it's just not for them. Anyway, this is a great game and a good addition to your video game/computer game collection.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a great game with great features, and it is very fun. I enjoy playing it a lot.
BUT, some of the controls are hard to use, and the instruction manual doesn't help much. The staff management is annoying, but you get used to it. Also, on some computers, it is slow. You need lots of memory, horsepower, etc. Also, difficult to learn at first.
Still, the game itself is fun, without the several bugs. Not suitable for very little kids.
4 stars for kids 10 and up
Alots of goods...Some bads

There is alot of goods about the game like being able to ride the rides but there is alot of bads. when you create a roller coaster theres a 50% chance it's going to be too extreme for the park-goers. Where in real life I would ride it meaning other people would too! Graphics are pretty good though. And it's hard to get guests to travel to all parts of the park. And at night (the game has days and nights) my computer gets slow but don't let all the bads make you not buy it because I love the game anyway.
