Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Want to build an empire without all the usual bloodshed? Try RollerCoaster Tycoon, which puts you in total control of a theme park, managing every detail from ride development to rescuing lost guests.
A simulator in the style of SimCity, this game has a simple enough concept: build a park attractive enough to draw in hoards of tourists and then separate them from their hard-earned money. This is accomplished by researching and building rides, along with amenities, gardens and decorations. Once you have your infrastructure, and the staff to maintain it, it's time to sit back and watch the funds roll in... all in the hope of building an even bigger rollercoaster somewhere else.
The big draws in a theme park, the coasters, are expensive and flashy. They lure in thrill-seeking guests prepared to pay top dollar for a wild ride. RollerCoaster Tycoon even allows you to design the coasters yourself, a finicky but ultimately rewarding operation.
Despite a clunky interface and the usual simulator drawbacks--such as long waits while you acquire funds for the next ride--RollerCoaster Tycoon is an utter gem of a game. Its soundtrack, a mix of calliope music and ride machinery, is mixed with the sound of guests squealing with delight and terror as the coasters hurl them around. The sound mix is joyfully evocative, and you can almost smell the cotton candy and the popcorn.
Best of all, you can play in this theme park for hours without once losing your children or friends, getting sore feet or experiencing motion sickness. --Alyx Dellamonica Amazon.com

so much better than theme park world!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of Rollercoaster Tycoon (Video Game)
I would say this is one of the best games I have played. and even though you can't ride the rollercoasters it is funny watching the people go on them.You can do so much more on this game than themepark world. And the graphics are very good. but the rollercoasters on this game are a bit annoying to build but it's worth it in the end.SO IF YOU BUY ONLY ONE GAME THIS YEAR BY THIS!
