Summary

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

The Good

First is the gameplay, which you will need to build, interacting with guests, playing games, up-keeping the rollercoaster park, maintaining the theme park business. You can build roller coasters, race tracks, stalls, carnival rides and so much more.

Not only you interact with guests (discuss about the park, hot topics, flirt), you can challenge them with the oh-my-god, so fun games. Topics you share with them (history, food, animals) may sound outdated though.

Up-keeping the park now, you will have to change roles with staffs like cleaners, mechanics, entertainers to train them. A little boring right? Keeping up with the park busisness is a little fun. You will learn more about what is like being a theme park manager.

The Bad

Storyline is not so good in the game. It's about Mortimer the roller coaster researcher who used to be a famous manager of Thrillville facing Globojoy started by Garrison who will destroy the park business. The storyline is so much better for the sequel of the game, Off The Rails. You will have to create your character like The Sims.

Wow, the graphic look a little to blocky right? No, it's way too block! Lastly the audio which consists way too little variety of song genres. The game only plays more of overly sugary pop tunes.

The Bottom Line

Roller coaster Tycoon fans, get this game and you will think The Sims is superb. Well, the game is more about being a theme park manager. So, get the game and you will feel like a theme park manager...... if you like roller coasters.
