Review: A definate buy for the coaster fan. I have every game out there and the Roller Coaster Tycoon sieries is never beat. It adds many new features, but is hard to use. The senario editor is a flop. The worst part is you can't load and play saved files from other versions. Only buy this if you have time on your hands, though, because Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 takes some figuring out.

Summary: This is not really a sequel
Review: Don't buy this game if you're looking for a totally updated version. It's not. Its really just an expansion pack -- a good one (unlike loopy landscapes and the other one which didn't really add much). I really think that you shouldn't label a game part 2 unless you completely redo the interface, plot or some other MAJOR part of the game. This was just some nice add ons and tweaking.

Summary: More of the Same
Review: It's a nice game for a rainy day, but to tell the truth it's pretty much the same as RCT1. I absolutely loved that game and was addicted to it, but I felt kind of disappointed by RCT2. I also liked the menu interfaces better. The only thing that I really enjoyed was the scenario editor. I thought the first one was lacking with no real sandbox mode. If you are new to the series, buy part two over part one, there are more features and more parks to play with. But if you already have one and all the expansion packs, or own the gold edition, don't bother. Just download all the great six-flags parks I have seen on many of the forums and build your own.

Summary: Coaster Craze
Review: Chris Sawyer has reached the pinnacle of Park Building video games with Rolloer Coaster Tycoon 2. THe Coaster Designer is a really good thing because you can design your rides without harming the park. Water is also availible in 4 colors now: Blu Red Green and Oarange.
Over all if this game was arated on a 1-1,000,000,000,000, I would give it a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000!...
I really love, not like, but love this game!...

Summary: Good, but not the first.
Review: Not enough of a difference from the first one. It was fun, but [a higher costing]... upgrade for little features from the first. If you can find Rollercoaster tycoon Gold for cheaper, then you are good to go. If not, than this is good.

Summary: More like an expansion pack, but who cares...get it!
Review: If you don't have RCT or even Loopy landscapes (the 2nd RCT1 expansion pack)....don't even hesitate to buy this game!There is nothing extremly new about playing this game...it has much of the same controls, menus, scenery, rides, goals, etc. In fact, it makes RCT1 look like the beta version.
The gameplay is still very easy and if you can use Windows, you can find yourself around this game very quickly. The tutorials are still helpful and the selection of gameplay on the menu is nicely laid out and lets you jump into any level of expertise you feel comfortable with. (I will warn you, I have found these scenerios-even the "easy ones" a bit more challenging that the first series!) The cons-There isnt as much choice in pathways and not many new flat rides which is a bit disapointing. Also, because of the new engine or something, the selection of rides is extended to include almost each type of car as a seperate ride (ie: in the old game, you could switch your boat hire ride to become swans or bumper boats....here, Swans, Bumper Boats, Row Boats are each considered a seperate ride to construct).
There are some great additions to existing themes from the first series (such as new water effects, icecubes, and new skulls) along with some brand new ones such as Pirate (argh matey!), Mechanical, Overgrown Garden, an "Old West" (not to be confused with the previous and still current "mining town") and more! The ability to put a wider array of signage is also much fun!
One of the biggest fun additions to the game is the ability to add walls and roofs (a skill sorta hard to master, but read your instruction manual carefully and practice with that shift/conrol key and you'll be a master builder in no time).
What you will find yourself doing is plenty more themeing and fine detailing your parks opposed to building coasters. Although, if designing coasters is your thing, then you will enjoy the on-board track manager and coaster designer which allows you to build outside of a scenerio. There is also the great sandbox of being able to design your own scenerios and even convert one of your saved games into a scenerio. Oh ya, this game is also a bit of a PR [machine] for my beloved Six Flags Inc. Do not buy this game just for the advertised sims of 5 real parks....I can tell you from partial experience (and being an employee of one), these are poor representations (mostly because the DC/WB rights were not purchased by RCT with the SF rights...so all those great Looney Tunes and Batman themed attractions dont exist or are altered). The good news...there is enought Six Flags specific and other theming here that you can probably build a better representation of any of the parks yourself! Don't fret...I'm sure all the missing fun of more pathway choices and more flat rides will be along soon with an expansion pack to squeeze a few more bucks out of us RCT fans. Some may argue that this game itself could've been just another RCT expansion pack...but since the retail price is so low, it doesnt matter...get this "upgrade" and if you miss your RCT1 scenerios that much, you can download the RCT2 adaption of them at the official website (oh ya, RCT always has excellent online support) You can be disapointed in this game as a sequel, but you can not deny this is a great game!
