Summary: What?!?!
Review: Chris? How could you do this to us? You abandoned Hasbro for this? Three beginners courses? Confusing tools? Well, I guess you did good on the coaster designer and scenario designer, but this is ridiculous. Anyone reading this article, please, buy Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and the expansions before you buy this! This game is basiccly just an expansion!

Summary: An Upgrade from a Semi-Boring Game
Review: I must admit...Infogrames has definitely made a comeback with RollerCoaster Tycoon ever since it's last debut. It really needed the features and new items, because after a while the game became so repetitive you would end up wasting your time doing the same thing over and over again. Now you can do many different things, with new decorative themes, options (such as the Roller Coaster builiding area, which I think is really neat and useful) and the new choice of lands. Most sequels end up being a bunch of junk with no upgrades whatsoever, but to tell you the truth, this one is worth buying.

Summary: Sawyer fine tunes the game.
Review: Essentially this is like another add-on to the previous game in that much of what was in the first RCT is still here plus more. A few of the controls have changed, but Sawyer didn't mess too much with a lot of the graphics. However, the tracks and saved games are not compatible with version one. The improvements read like the wish lists from coaster and gamer sites. Significant is the inclusion of a scenario designer. This makes trading games on-line a reality. Also, a sandbox is included which allows the creation of coasters without having to consider the game aspect. Lastly, an improvement to the track options has been included. Most who have played RCT may have noticed the lack of banking on curved drops. RCT2 allows the banked drops on many of its coasters now.
In terms of expertise, RCT assumes a greater level here in that even the beginner parks ask for what I'd call "tycoon strategy".
This game is sure to keep those whose theme parks are closed for the season happy. Enjoy.

Summary: Great game, but with some disappointments
Review: For at least a year, I was addicted to the first Roller Coaster Tycoon and its expansion packs, though I'm more into the "building a fun park" aspect of the game than the "building a great roller coaster" aspect. It always seemed that you could win most scenarios using the designed rides provided, and I never saw much point in spending the money to design new ones.To that end, RCT2 has two great features - the coaster designer and the scenario editor. I used the scenario editor last night, and I found it fun, though it did require me to refer to the instruction manual for guidance more than once. I could wish for a more intuitive design. I haven't used the coaster designer yet, but I am looking forward to streching my design wings this weekend. Two other pluses are the amount of new rides and shops and the fact that all of the scenarios are immediately avaiable for play. Because of the aforementioned aversion to designing my own coasters, I had been shut out of many of the scenarios in the older version of the game because I hadn't finished the ride design scenarios. I'mm glad that won't happen here. Positives aside, I do have a few gripes. First, it looks like many of the old coaster types are here, but, inexplicably, with different names. Users are left to try to figure out what their old standbys are now called. I'm still looking for the steel roller coaster (for the much-beloved shuttle-loop ride). It would have been nice if they had retained more consistency with the older version. Also, the new scenery themes are underwhelming. I was excited about "giant garden," because I was picturing new and different, well, gardens. Instead there are giant bugs and carrots. Woo hoo. Other themes also seem rather perfunctory (the sports theme, which had great potential, is pretty lame). Last, there seem to be fairly few scenarios, and even fewer that allow you to start a park from scratch. The Six Flags parks are interesting, but I don't enjoy finishing what someone else has started as much as making my own park. Overall, a fun game, but first-time users might enjoy the original more.

Summary: Awful, just awful
Review: I've never played so a boring game in my life. I'd rather play some other bad game like WarCraft 3 than this stuff. I almost fell asleep during the first park, and passed out while trying to beat the second one. I drank some coffee and but that won't help when playing this game. This game has a negative effect on caffine and actually negates it. If you hate your life and want to find something to make it worse play this game!!

Summary: A 5-star game primed for several expansion packs...
Review: In a nutshell, this game is great. The game looks and plays almost exactly like the original, which involves creating amusment parks and every little detail involved in that process from designing and building the roller coasters, to deciding how much a hot dog should cost. The major new feature is a scenario editor which allows you to create scenarios from the ground up including the land type and size, the amount of money available to you, and the features available as you play. This is a great addition as it provides the opportunity to create the park of your dreams with no limits, or simply see how well you can re-create your favorite theme park from scratch. Other new features include a coaster designer, some pre-designed Six Flags parks, and a few new rides/themes/shops. No, there aren't a ton of new rides/themes/shops like many had originally hoped - not yet anyway. The game has been built on a very large platform, but has not been fully utilized in an obvious effort to release many future expansion packs. The original Roller Coaster Tycoon had two expansion packs; no doubt the sequel hopes to provide even more. Overall, this is still the most addictive game ever created. It provides literally hours upon hours of non-stop enjoyment. A MUST for anyone with a love for theme parks and/or roller coasters.

Summary: More of the same
Review: This game should have been a cheaper expansion, not a new 29.99 game. The game play is almost identicle to the first RCT. There is not much difference between RCT and RCT2 except for the Six Flags rollercoasters. The game was a real disappoinment for me.
