Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (Platinum) for Windows

Pros: More choices than RCT2
Cons: Need a super computer to be able to play it.

This game is so addicting and fun, you'll be sitting in front of the computer screen for hours! I actually owe my bad eye sight to this game. I got so addicted I'd play it for hours on ends that my eyes turned to crap. This is a really fun game! You ...

Pros: Intriguing, God-like control over the simulated customers
Cons: Addictingly time-consuming

This oddly addicting game is really fun! Build your own roller coasters and other rides, outfit your amusement park with shops and food stands, and then hire staff to run the show! Watching your ride run, as if you are on it, is a nice touch. I also ...

Pros: Lots of coasters available, great graphics, ride the rides!
Cons: Quirky management, peeps can act strangely

My toddler son loves roller coasters and with the local parks closed for winter we fired up some computer games to play with. We played with Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 but he kept asking if we could ride the rides. I guess some other people asked also ...

Pros: New 3D engine is gorgeous, you can ride the rides, new rides and shops
Cons: requires a powerful CPU and video card, awkward UI changes, major bugs exist

INTRO: I'm a huge rollercoaster fan that has both RCT and RCT2 as well as all expansion packs for both games. RCT3 makes several major changes to these earlier games. First of all, it's now in true 3D and the detail on everything is extremely high. ...

Pros: Very educational and entertaining. It can be a good teaching tool about business.
Cons: Can be hard to find and is addicting.

My children are computer geeks. I will start with that. I don't like them wasting their time with useless games though. So in my search to find something that would help them use their minds and be fun, I came upon Roller Coaster Tycoon. Installation ...

Pros: Three times the challenge and excitement of the first two Roller Coaster Tycoons put together!
Cons: Requires a hefty amount of graphics power and software upgrades to run smoothly.

More doesn't necessarily mean better: such is the case with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Yes, there is a lot to love about the game. If your PC can handle the graphics. (I have a Radeon 9600 Pro with 512 MB RAM and it just barely handles everything Atari ...

Pros: New engine is fantastic. More options for almost everything, plus a great new fireworks engine.
Cons: Game seems to have some mystifying bugs, hopefully a patch will remedy them.

If you played Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, you were probably disappointed with the lack of innovation over the original. RCT2 was functionally and graphically almost identical to the original game, which wasn’t a technological breakthrough to begin with. ...

Pros: Quality new additions to Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Cons: Not to many additions.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Loopy Landscapes adds a good amount of new features. Besides the obvious of new landscaping options Loopy Landscapes adds even more to the already addicting game of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Loopy Landscapes also includes the addition...

Pros: coaster cam
Cons: Some bad CD key codes, slows after considerable play time.

OK, since I loved RCT2, I decided I must purchase RCT3. Right from the start I had a problem. No, not with the graphics cards and other stuff that has been mentioned, although I’ll touch on that later, the first problem that arose was the CD key code ...

Pros: addictive, well-rendered, detailed, replayable, just plain fun
Cons: sometimes you end up sitting around with nothing to do.

Loopy Landscapes is the second expansion pack for RCT, and contains the first expansion (Corkscrew Follies). (So you need the original game to play Loopy Landscapes, but you don't need Corkscrew Follies.) It adds a new set of scenarios, and new rides and...

Pros: Is a good "SIM" game with good graphics and sound.
Cons: It's a "SIM" game and can old after playing a few different parks

If you’re reading this article then I’ll assume that you have decided to purchase “RollerCoaster Tycoon: Corkscrew Follies”. Before you lay down your hard-earned cash I think you should consider your options and first read this review and a few others....

Pros: Addicting, good graphics, so much detail. More variety than R.C.T.
Cons: Can't ride rides, takes alot of practice to get good at.

What is there to say. The roller coaster rage has been added onto by another great expansion pack, Loopy Landscapes. I only had regular Roller Coaster Tycoon for about 2 weeks before we got the Loopy Landscapes expansion pack (included with Corkscrew...

Pros: interesting graphics, varying scenarios
Cons: none

How many Christmas presents are your kids still playing with? Mine are still fighting over the computer to get to play this game. It has great graphics, and lots to do.

The game has several levels of simulations. It starts you out with the...

Pros: Improves a great game to even better.
Cons: Could have contained more changes.

When I heard that an add on for Rollercoaster Tycoon was in the works I was instantly enthused. The add on proved to be worth every dollar and made a wonderful game even better.

What can be better for any game but new rides, more customization...

Pros: Great Rides, Fast Action
Cons: ADDICTING!!!!!

I cannot believe retailers are selling this game. Do they have any idea how many people are being affected? People are quitting their jobs, finding ways to get through the day without sleep and have quit answering their door and telephones - all because...
