 Great fun for a while October 1, 2008
Gregory Kennedy (Fayetteville, AR USA)
Here's a game that will eat your time like no other. RollerCoaster Tycoon puts you in charge of a theme park, and you have to build it from empty fields to thriving business by yourself. It's almost instantly accessable to gamers of all ages. The graphics are clean and bright, the sound design spot-on, and addictiveness level is unmatched. The interface suffers in some areas (especially while designing new rollercoasters) but it gets the job done.
The expansions (bundled with the original game in RCT Deluxe) bring more of everything: more rides, more themes, more shops, and more scenarios. They blend seamlessly with the original game to simply provide a more well-rounded experience. The scenarios are particularly well done as they each come with unique and varied objectives - a welcome change from the "build a park, then build another park" progression offered by the first release.
One of my biggest problems with most Tycoon games is scenario objectives that say "complete X and Y in Z years", and then force you to wait around for the time to pass even though you've finished the goal. If they'd stop as soon as you did what you were supposed to, it would be infinitely better. But instead I completed scenarios quickly and then had to waste a bunch of time before moving on to the next area.
One other frustration of the game is that designing rides can be super-costly, since you have to build and test while your simulation is running. Poor design or mistakes suck up cash as you have to constantly backtrack and lay new track to fix problems. RCT2 alleviates this somewhat by allowing you to design coasters outside of the game and then your mistakes don't cost you money.
That said, I'd definitely recommend this game - it's really great and a lot of fun, and very addicting for the first several scenarios. It would be especially good for young children as it's largely nonviolent, doesn't have a very steep learning curve, and is a rather 'cute' game. But it's not worth beating all the levels and I imagine most gamers will grow bored before they exhaust everything the game has to offer.

it`s a good game, at the beggining you can spend hours playing without getting tired. but after a few weeks you notice that everything is the same....you just have to build parks in different locations and give them maintenance, the same thing only different scenarios
Awesome August 14, 2008

This Deluxe game set is Quick and easy requires only 1 installation instead of three. and comes with bonus ride designs built from users. and is Super Fun, but yet Very Simple.
