Summary: I think you'd like it
Review: I think that this game is yet educational and fun. If you want to have an amusment Park this is a great game to figure out if you still would want to be. It could get frustrating but it is So funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warning: Will Cause Addiction
Review: Roller Coaster Tycoon is the ultimate game for those who love coasters, those who hate them (and just want to make nasty ones to get revenege), and those who would love to experience the thrill of a coaster but have too much motion sickness to risk it!

Hurl as sick guests throw up their lunch on your newly paved sidewalk. Laugh as you "quack a duck". Sob as a kid loses his balloon and it floats into the air, then pops. Scream as a roller coaster goes beserk and the cars fly off the track. Watch unsuspiciously as a guest goes to the bathroom and then hear the flush accompanied with it.

This game is the BEST. You are in total control of everything. Just be careful - you definitely will get addicted.

Summary: RCT Is Great!
Review: I like computer games. Roller Coaster Tycoon is my second favorite game, only Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone is better. I like how real the game is, for example, weeds grow in the grass and people get hungry. It is very realistic, but there are some problems. One problem is that the guests are so stupid.
They think that the exit for a ride is the park exit and get lost! Here are some ways to possibly solve that problem. Don't build long winding paths or dead ends. I don't have an expansion pack, but they might open the game

Summary: An Incredibly Addictive Game
Review: Roller Coaster Tycoon, (which should be named "Amusement Park Tycoon"), is the kind of fun-for-all-ages-non-violent game. Some people may be turned down by the "zero action" impression you get by the nature of the game, but that does not take away from the excitement.

You mission: to build a successful theme park. There are various restrictions and challenges, and each completed level allows new levels to be explored. You have certain goals, such as having so many people in your park by a certain date. There are certain ways to persuade people into your park, such as marketing and advertising. Another goal is to have a high park rating, and this can be altered by popularity among costumers and cleanliness of the park. Other levels present more difficult challenges, such as hilly terrain, limiting park size, or local authority prohibiting the destruction of trees and other plants in the area.

You accomplish these goals not only with roller coasters. Pre-made rides such as the merry-go-round, the Ferris wheel, and more thrilling rides like a motion simulator, swinging ship, and graviton, help you on your way to a successful and popular theme park. You can alter admission and ride prices. There are various food stalls, (pizza place, burger bar, cotton candy stall, balloon stall, information stall, etc.), and you can hire entertainers. There are many ways to keep your costumers happy.

When you design coasters, (or other rides, such as water slides, log flumes, train rides, and chair lifts), you have to make them exciting and fun, while not too nauseating, in order to attract costumers. If a coaster is too intense people won't want to ride it. But at the same time no one will want to ride a boring coaster. When you finish construction and complete your test run, you can see how nauseating, exciting, or intense your ride is, in addition to average speed, maximum speed, G forces, drop heights, etc. Special tracks like water splashes, photo stations, helixes, in line twists, and vertical loops can make a coaster more desirable.

An alterable amount of your profits are donated to researching new rides, stalls, and coasters, to help you build new rides and bring more people into your park.

You can select costumers one by one and see how happy, tired, or hungry they are, see how much money they have, how much they have spent, what they are carrying, (pizza wrapper, park map, balloon, etc.), and what their recent thoughts have been. By observing the costumers you can better understand the problems in your park, and fix them to make a better park.

Scenery is an important and effective way to draw attention. Dozens of flowers, bushes, and trees are available, in addition to different terrain, (grass, sand, rock), statues and fountains, and theme objects, (Egyptian themeing, mine huts, Martian themeing, etc.).

Don't let the name of the game fool you ... you do much more than just build coasters! A very complex, fun, and addicting game that will have you up for hours pleasing costumers and building coasters!

Summary: THE PERFECT GAME
Review: I LOVED this game. I first played it over my friend's house, and now I am addicted. I am really 14, but I can't give out my E-mail or my name, so I filled out this. This is educational for the older people and fun and exciting for kids. I recommend this game for EVERYONE!

Summary: RollarCoaster Tycoon
Review: I really enjoyed playing this game. The different scenarios are challenging and fun in their own unique ways. If your someone who has patience or needs to learn it, RCT is the right game for you. It teaches one to watch every penny while making guests happy. There aren't many downsides to this game. For example, sometimes rides randomly crashes, but in the end it's easy to rebuild. Also, guests complain about things that you don't have control of, but if you make everything you have control of perfect, your ratings will still be good. This game gets better once you build your own straegy and figure out the easiest and cheapest way to win your guests' hearts. I highly recomment RollarCoaster Tycoon for gamers of all ages.

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST YOU COULD EVER HAVE!!!!
Review: This is like running a busness, another game called Sim Theme Park isn't even close to have what this game offers you! Really, I think this is facinating of how real it gets, you can open, test, or close as many rides or the whole park at any time! Also it has so much funny things in it, that you can charge for the bathroom!! The fun of playing it and the realistic of it is why you should buy this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even if you are not a gamer... you will LOVE this!!!
Review: If I could give this 100 stars, I would! I have played all of the simulation-type games on the market and messed with most all the other popular games... but nothing can compare to Roller Coaster Tycoon. After 3 years, it is still the most addicting game I have played. No matter how you build your park, there are so many different variables and conditions that it is impossible to play the same game twice. Instead of the game instructing you how to play, you are instructing it. You can practice and level through the scenerios, manage and make the most profitable park, drag and drop people into funny situations, or see how crazy you can build your rides. All roles are factored into the game: manager, engineer, salesman, janitor, entertainer, gardener, etc.. The character interaction and graphics are just amazing! Unlike all of the other simulation games on the market, they put their money, time and energy into this one. They weren't just looking for your forty bucks!

P.S. I finished all the levels on this game prior to the release of both expansions (Loopy Landscapes & Corkscrew Follies). What did I win? Well, I received a park/scenerio called 'the Big One' with an endless spending limit and endless property to build on. Pretty nice!!

Rating: 5 stars
