Rating: Summary: funny but exciting Review: if you're looking for a game that is funny you should get this game because you can pick people up and put them somewhere else. It's exciting because you can build many things you might see at a carnival or theme park but don't go bankrupt.

Also have to manage your park higher custodians,mechanics,and animals to keep your costomers happy. Do advertisments to attract people to your park with coupons. Build refreshment stands to keep your costomers in your park.
Rating: Summary: A Lot of Fun Once you Get Past the Learning Curve Review: I am normally not a real big fan of "sim" type games, so I waited a while to buy this one. I didn't like it all that much at first, but after picking it up I really got to like it. This game is very precise and fairly realistic, which makes it hard to learn, but also a lot of fun to play once you have.The animation and sound in this game are spectacular. You build all sorts of amusement park attractions for your guests, and then you watch them walk around your park like little ants. All of the sounds of a theme park are there. The clickety-clack of the roller coaster chains, the screams of the riders as the coaster plunges down the hill, and the laughs of the children and yes. The programmers even included the cheesy music that they play for the bumper cars. Anything that moves can be clicked on and examined. The level of precision and the amount of choices that you have in this game are fantastic, and sometimes overwhelming. The game consists of twenty-some scenarios that gradually get harder. Each time that you finish one, you get a new challenge, which keeps the game from getting too easy as you become more proficient. The roller coasters have realistic physics. This is both good and bad. The good part -- if you are a roller coaster enthusiast, then you will love being able to design a working coaster. You control everything, from the height of the first drop to the colors of the trains. The bad part - designing even a mediocre coaster can get very tedious and expensive. One big coaster will chew up all of your cash, and if you are playing a short scenario, you probably won't be able to build another one. In addition, coasters take up a lot of space, and because of this, your park usually runs out of it. I have played almost all of the scenarios, and I have never really gotten to build the "ultimate" mega-coaster. The one aspect of this game that I found to be annoying was the tendency of kids to get sick from your rides. This aspect of the game was BADLY overdone (maybe the writers thought it was supposed to be cute). Even if they don't get sick, a lot of them will be afraid to ride it. The park customers are total wimps. You can build a 120-foot tall standup roller coaster with 3 inversions and nobody will ride it, because it is too "intense" (whatever that means). The roller-coaster physics might be realistic, but the customer behavior definitely is not. This is one of a few examples of questionable AI in this game. Still, as a roller-coaster enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
Rating: Summary: Too addicted to write a review Review: ...Ever since I got this game, I have given up on having a life and being responsible (much to the dismay of my friends and family)! RollerCoaster Tycoon (RCT) is so entertaining and so well designed that it should carry a label warning relating to its high addictiveness factor, and the accompanying consequences (loss of sleep, loss of friends, loss of mind ...) The game is easy to master and the instruction booklet is a short, quick read and provides interesting background info on the game. Once the basic manipulations are learned through experimentation (or the (too) simple tutorial), you can unleash your creativity in designing rides. My only (minor) gripe is that it would have been great to have a "freeform" game (as in no objective where you get to choose your terrain) as the various scenarios become repetative after a while since they all have the same objective. I believe the expansion packs addresses this "problem" and it is already in my shopping cart...

Rating: Summary: Blows Sim Theme Park away! Review: This game is great, and extremely addictive! I bought it a few years ago when it first came out, and I have bought both expansion packs. But now I am devestated because I got a new computer that didn't it have it installed, and now I lost the original CD, so I can't install any of them. But if I don't find it, I am going to definitley buy a new one!
Rating: Summary: Awesome game Review: This is a great game. Make millions of dollars designing amusement parks. A must have for tycoon fans. Two thumbs up.
Rating: Summary: Take Over the Entertainment Business... Review: Looking for a good, clean game that will get you hooked for hours? Maybe you're a parent and are looking for a non-violent game to let your youngsters play... This is a great non-violent game that is fun, because it allows us to do what we like to do in real life... go to an amusement park! In this game, you will manage an amusement park, and be responsible for all operations of that park. You must hire staff, set prices, build attractions, and keep your guests happy. Sounds easy? Not so... this game is difficult enough to keep it interesting for the older players and simple enough to be enjoyable to younger players. This game grows as you grow. Each time you beat a park, the game unlocks a new park that is more difficult than the last one. Don't think you just move straight through though... You can continue in your park for as long as you like... The graphics in this game are pretty good on machines running Windows ME and 98, but not so great on XP. You can still play the game, you will just need to deal with some older looking graphics. The interface is simple and easy to use, you just need to drag track wherever you want it laid, and the rules are simple... You have nearly complete customization over your park, so you can truly make this your park, if you don't like the way something looks all you need to do is change it... This simple game, is very fun and will have everyone hooked for hours! Try it, you will like it!
Rating: Summary: Very fun game Review: this is a very fun game for any one that likes to be in controll.it also atracts people who like to design stuff. i like to design roller costers.if you could ride the rides you design it would be better.and if you could publish your park on the internet it would make it more fun.
