Huge disappointment. bought this for my daughter and it worked for one week and then it stopped downloading. Found out that this is a major problem with RCT3. She loved it for one week.
The sandbox allows you to go nuts without challenges, Carte Blanche to build the Ultimate Theme Park YOUR WAY. The rides are very accurate and detailed. This game is AWSOME. If you've ever wanted to build your own amusement park, this is the game.
The graphice are not real in detail up close, however the movements and reactions are very realistic. GREAT GAME and we are addicted. You have full control of park operations, YOU DA MAN. You can design and build YOUR own Roller Coaster rides.
You can play the game with senarios that challenge you or you can play in the Sandbox Mode. FIVE ***** ALL THE WAY.
Now it's the Park Advisor, saying "Nobody is coming to your park because there aren't enough plants." You add plants, and Guests come in, but you don't feel like you've accomplished anything.But at least the makers of the game managed to do one thing. Now, in RCT1 & 2, the rides were all rides, and if I wanted it to be a certain way I would use certain scenery. Things like cuteness. Just don't waste your money funding Atari to make more simple sequels to a wonderful and hours-and-days-and-weeks-of-fun game.
Find a copy online, or maybe you already own it, I don't care. I don't care about the number of stupid ice cubes in the diet cola. While the team at Atari could have spent time improving the graphics, or fixing bugs, or making the gameplay more fun, they made sure that you could decide how many pickles go on your hamburgers. what am I missing.". I care about how my park looks, and how fun the game is, and whether or not I can even look at the faces of my "Peeps" without cringing.So if you're looking for the game "SimSandwhich", this is the right game for you. Here, they're just handing you a ride.
In the originals, "Guests" were guests, and they were small and round and cute. If I wanted myride to be scary, I would use scary scenery. Basically, his job is to tell you what you already know from the message bar and by using your brain. This time around, not so much. If you are a fan of RCT2 or 1, don't bother with number 3.To somebody new to the series, maybe RCT3 will feel great. Your cute soft little "Guests" have turned into angular, jagged, and obnoxious "Peeps". In the game, you can customize the sandwhiches sold in your shops.That's right folks. But if you've played 1 or 2, you'll notice that with all the new features, that the game lacks a few things.
If having 3D graphics means elminiatingevery last piece of cute roundness on the characters and turning them into something that looks like it came out of "Yu-Gi-Oh", then keep them 2D. One of the things I liked about RCT and RCT2 was that when there was a problem, like, I don't have enough guests, you think, "Hmm. They cheered and laughed like little kids- they were even cute when they threw up. What the heck. In RCT3, every ride and stall is either themed "Basic", "Sci-Fi", "Scary","Wild West" or "Adventure". When you find out and Guests start pouring in by the hundreds, you feel proud of your achievement.
If I wanted it kid friendly, I'd surround it with giant candy canes. I didn't have any problem with the graphics.Another thing missing is the creativity. If the theme doesn't match with your park, too bad that's the only way to get it.Not to mention the Park Advisor guy. If not, then play RCT2.
i don't spend much time on it but when i do, i thoroughly enjoy all the new options up from rct 2 (and 1 even).its not hard to adjust to after the old ones, just takes a few minutes of clicking around and playin around
You need lots of memory, horsepower, etc. Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a great game with great features, and it is very fun. Also, difficult to learn at first.Still, the game itself is fun, without the several bugs. The staff management is annoying, but you get used to it. I enjoy playing it a lot.BUT, some of the controls are hard to use, and the instruction manual doesn't help much. Also, on some computers, it is slow. Not suitable for very little kids.4 stars for kids 10 and up
