The aim remains to build up a winning theme park, with a special emphasis on building and designing its premium rides. And this is where the games most obvious improvement kicks in. Whilst its predecessors were undoubtedly engrossing and enjoyable strategy games in their own right, neither was graphically anything special. Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 however features significantly improved visuals, that make a surprising difference to the game itself. Thats because youre now able to get virtual first-hand experience of your creations, and can zoom in on any part of your park, and the overall effect is one of added depth.
Elsewhere, the challenges have been tweaked and refined, and are just as much fun as they always were. Whilst you can play at different levels, the long-term test lies with the career mode, where you must beat the numerous scenarios the game has to offer. Suffice to say, to succeed at that you need to be fully versed in resource management, park design and, crucially, keeping your customers happy. Its not easy, but it is tremendously immersive, and given the games steady and cultured learning curve, you never feel out of your depth.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is ultimately a steady evolution of a formula that works exceptionally well, and it does so here again. Sure, the mechanics have evolved at a slower rate than the visuals, but that doesnt stop the game being that rarest of things--a strategy game that the whole family can enjoy.--Simon Brew
