Having all the other Roller Coaster Tycoons, I thought it was time to get the third game. Now I was really used to how the last two tycoons were set up and theis one is different. I do like how you can ride the rides you build, and yes I almost got sick on one ride! I like the setup of the old RCT games better though, it just seemed easier to like maintain the game. This new game seems like you need to pause it to get anything done. Of course in this new game, you can build build while it is paused! All-in-all, compared to the other RCT games, this one ranks good, little better than average, but that may be because I am so used to the older versions. Still a good game to buy.
The features I like are the 3D camera,Sandbox Mode where you have unlimited funds to design new rides, and the ability to import tracks from previous versions. The controls are a little difficult sometimes: The cursor has to be on grass to zoom in or out, more keyboard controls should be in the tutorial, it's hard to close some tools. Overall it's an addictive game. If you liked the original Roller Coaster Tycoon, you will like this game.
When my 8 year old first asked for this game I was skeptical as we dont normally let her play any PC game that is not educational. However, she had been doing great in school, so after some research, I okayed this. What a pleasant surprise. She was up and running within moments of getting it installed. For you parents, there is absolutely no violence,profanity or adult situations. The general idea is to imagine,design and run a theme park-complete with rides, layout, scenery, animals, trees, and customers. Educational it is not, but the gamer does have to discover and correct ride and layout designs ( the coaster has to begin and end somewhere, as an example ) as well as some minor spelling as one has to name the park and create signs. This is the second RCT3 that we have had as the first got scratched beyond use, and this one was purchased in April. Three months later she still plays it almost every day and makes changes to her parks. It's good clean fun for almost all ages. Graphics are great,too and there are I believe, expansion packs to add even more zip and bling, although not necessary. For many ages as she got this whole game idea from her 14 year old cousin. I could easily see children as young as maybe 5 or 6 all the way up to teens enjoying this game. You could consider it the cyber version of an erector set complete with sounds and people to enjoy whatever it is that you build.Read full review
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is quite different than the first two versions of the game. The graphics are much different and although you can actually "ride the rides" which is rather neat, I do not enjoy the way new graphics. I believe the first two versions were better when it comes to actually constructing the park. RCT3 actually transforms from day to night and that is pretty cool. It takes a really long time to load the game so you must be patient. The tutorial is very well done and allows you to actually participate as you learn. There is also a "sandbox mode" that allows you to be free of financial concerns and this helps while you are building. So if you like the new approach to the graphics, the game can be great. I have not played it enough to really give much more information on it's play.Read full review
Of all of the "computer" games out there, this is one I don't mind my kids spending a lot of time with. They have learned budgeting, raising funds for projects, keeping customers happy, and everything else that goes with running a profitable business. Oh, and they are having lots of fun using their creativity developing new rides for the park, as well. Just a great all-around purchase from the computer game category. I HIGHLY recommend RollerCoaster Tycoon and the other "Tycoon" series games.
In Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 you are introduced to new level, objects, and controls. The controls are 800x different than the RCT1 and RCT2 games. In the game it also offers the option to ride your rides. If you are on the this game for a long time you will feel "different" because of all the 3-D action. In this game you also start to more appreciate the orignal Roller Coaster Tycoon versions and their expansions. If you do buy this game then be sure to take lots of brakes, 1 every 30 minutes. This game is fun but is a huge disater for your head. Mabye they should go back to the original graphics? This is a so-so game, not the most recamended. Thanks for looking!!!
I LOVE this game...I got the main game for my birthday...I don't have the expansion pack yet though...This game is sutible for ALL ages just about(probably no younger than 5 or 6) I can play it for a long time with out ever getting tired of it...however when I do, I stop and wait a day or two to play again. I like the camera angles a lot better than in the first two...they are 360 degree view instead of just 4 set angles and you can zoom in REALLY close.
another great game from ATARI! roller coaster tycoon 3 lets you import rides from rct-1 and rct2 to give you even more coasters to add it by default has most of the rides you see at a amusement park i.e octopus etc game play needs a bit more then the recommended memory reg not a big deal if you have a gaming computer the added ride on the rides thing is way cool gives you a better idea if you build a coaster to save to add later if its way to intense sounds are great even lets you hear riders loosing there lunch so to speak if you like playing rct1- and rct 2 rct 3 is a must the soaked expansion pack let you build a water park along with the normal coaster park,also the wild expansion cd wil add a animal park id suggest adding the two packs for more added fun there are cheats avail for added fun!Read full review
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is a great game. I really like how the characters are like real people not like the little cartoons. I also like how you can test drive the rides when you build one or when you first buy one. All the things that there is to build or buy, like the food and drinks stands are alot better than the other everyday stands on the other RollerCoaster Tycoons. I like that there is alot more variety in this game than there is in the other games. I thought I would buy this RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 because, I liked the other games and I thought that RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 would be alot better because it is 3D instead of 2D.
Rollercoaster tycoon 3 is the best rollercoaster tycoon game yet.The old games had the most horible graphics,but these graphics are so realistic.I was surprised on how good the graphics were.They werent just good,THEY WERE AWSOME!!!My friend even has RCT3,and he was surprised too.it took about 3 months to get my dad to buy it for me,and he said after about 5 months that I could get it.I was jumping around and while i was doing that i slamed into a wall and dinted it i was so happy!!!!!!!I would recomend this game for 4-13 year olds.There is no bad things in the game at all,and it is cool how you can ride the rides and that is the sweetest thing of all.
