RollerCoaster Tycoon

RollerCoaster Tycoon has to be one of the best games out on the et right now because of its concentration on fun and good design. Not only do the awesome graphics and sounds make the game great, but also the ability to design in an unlimited number of ways really makes this game fun and addictive. The bottom line is that this game is for just about everyone, and especially for those people who love strategy and design.

The mass appeal of Rollercoaster Tycoon is undeniable. It's simple enough for a casual gamer to toy around with, yet has enough depth to keep the more hardcore geek glued to the screen. It's hard to describe just how fun this game is. I've simply been having a blast. Pick it up, and you won't put it down. Highly recommended.

I found this game to be most addictive, challenging and as much fun as I thought it would be watching the demo in the store. I am pleased to give Rollercoaster Tycoon 5 GiN gems.

Det här är också ett av de mest beroendeframkallande spel jag kört sedan Civ. Jag tillbringade hela eftermiddagen på kontoret med att försöka gå på toaletten, men kunde inte slita mig från skärmen. Nu märker jag att jag försöker avsluta den här recensionen så snabbt som möjligt för att kunna starta spelet igen och kolla in mina senaste förbättringar. Om det här spelet hade varit en riktig nöjespark hade det varit Disneyland, i New Yorks storlek, och utan inträdesavgift och köer.

Rollercoaster Tycoon ist zu Recht ein absoluter Verkaufshit gewesen. Das Spiel ist umfangreich, bietet viele herausfordernde Missionen und die Möglichkeit eigene Achterbahnen zu bauen. So wird man auf jeden Fall einige Wochen beschäftigt sein.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is an awesome game from top to bottom. It would have been nice to have a completely open ended mode (not scenario based), and the ride design aspect could have been a bit easier to use, but other than those nitpicky details, the game shines through and through. The little details in the graphics and sound make it a joy to play, and the amount of control you have over your park makes this game a must have for obsessive fans of simulations like Sim City. Roller Coaster Tycoon takes the ball from Theme Park and really runs with it, extending the amusement park simulation idea in a variety of ways. The online ride database and constant updates on the official website are the icing on the cake, adding great value to an already fantastic product. RCT could be a sleeper hit this year, and that's why it earns our "Editor's Choice" award.

Rollercoast Tycoon er en yderst værdig konkurrent til det populære Theme Park — jeg er helt begyndt at holde af rutschebaner!

RollerCoaster Tycoon has the potential to capture a pretty good niche market - and for the most part, it succeeds.

But once you do figure out how to build a roller coaster, you'll realize that nothing you're likely to do any of these SimCity-type games is likely to be more fun. You'll get a lot of pride out of designing some crazy, twisting corkscrew that winds in and out of lakes and hot dog stands, painting it bright neon pink and orange, and giving it a name like the Vominator. And then when the kids start lining up for those $5 tickets, you'll be ready to start saving up for your next ridiculous extravaganza. Roller Coaster Tycoon is, quite simply, a lot of fun.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is een pareltje van een spel, echt iets om de lange lentedagen mee te vullen.

Es soll Fälsche geben, die enttarnt wurden, weil ihr Werk noch besser wirkte als das kopierte Original. Der Roller Coaster Tycoon wäre dafür ein Paradebeispiel, denn die Entwickler können wohl kaum leugnen, daß sie kräftig von Theme Park inspiriert wurden. Gleichzeitig gefällt mir das Resultat noch einen Tick besser als Bullfrogs legendäre Vergnügungspark-Simulation. Die Vielfalt an Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die eigenen Fahrgeschäfte ist beeindruckend, besonders da neue Attraktionen erforscht werden können. Es macht einen Heidenspaß, Achterbahnen selbst zu bauen und zu beobachten, wie sich die Besucher amüsieren. Außerdem sind die einzelnen Missionen sehr herausfordernd, wobei der Einstieg auch unerfahrenen Konstrukteuren erfreulich schnell gelingt.

Rollercoaster Tycoon is een snoepje voor de sim-liefhebber. Net zo cute als Themepark, en zo uitgebreid als Railroad Tycoon. Een hele goeie combinatie, die garant staat voor een heel erg leuk simulatiespel.

This title is a bargain, as the two expansions Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes are included free. With over 90 levels of park building fun, tons of rides (building rollercoasters is fun), and thousands of little things to do, Rollercoaster Tycoon is a must have title for any sim lover... or any game lover!!

Бесспорная классика, рассчитанная на ветеранов игровой общественности и фанатиков-строителей парков, больниц и путей сообщения.

Weniger schön wird es, wenn Sie selbst Attraktions-Entwürfe gestalten wollen. Hier wollte Sawyer das Rad, pardon, die Maus neu erfinden und ist dabei prompt reingefallen. So droht Ihnen der verfrühte Konkurs weniger durch unrentable Geschäfte, als eher durch permanentes (und kostenintensives) Aufbauen und Abreißen mißratener Konstruktionen. Vor allem die Seilbahn hat mich einige Nerven gekostet. Der sehr niedrig angesetzte Schwierigkeitsgrad kommt Einsteiger-Tycoonen entgegen – Profis werden spätestens nach zwei Wochenenden alle Szenarios in- und auswendig kennen. Da das alte Theme Park inzwischen nur noch auf wenigen PCs ordentlich läuft, ist Rollercoaster Tycoon eine echte Alternative.

Rollercoaster Tycoon n'est toutefois pas sans défauts. D'une part, il n'est pas possible de régler la vitesse de déroulement du temps. Du coup il arrive souvent qu'on passe de longues minutes à attendre sans rien faire... En outre il est parfois difficile de construire sur les terrains un peu trop en pente, l'interface permettant de niveler/modeler le terrain étant parfois capricieuse.

Roller Coaster Tycoon permet de diriger un parc d'attractions au travers de plusieurs missions. Au départ vous démarrerez avec quelques parcs et dans chacun, une mission (Avoir + de 600 personnes, un taux de satisfaction supérieur à tel nombre... et tout ceci à une date précise).

RollerCoaster Tycoon is good, but if you're not into slowly paced strategy games that require a lot of patience and number-tweaking without a lot of tangible payoff, it's not really for you. The game offers no Xbox-specific enhancements over the PC version, but it's nice to be able to play it on a big television from your sofa. Armchair tycoons who haven't already played RollerCoaster Tycoon to death on their PCs should find a lot to like here.

The concept of gameplay is easy to pick up, thanks to the handy icon interface bar at the top of the screen. This enables you to control and adjust everything you can see and hear. The sprite-based graphics are detailed with glorious colors, although the realistic wooden scaffolding effect on most of the rides dominates most of the views. Still, the realism and micro-management of your park makes RollerCoaster Tycoon much more addictive and fun than similar theme park or business simulations. Because you get to control the rides, facilities and overall appeal of the park as well as accommodate factors such as temperature, weather and financial constraints, it is an enjoyable and challenging game.

Rollercoaster Tycoon is a fine example of the genre and will please fans no end but we've seen it all before. The level of management available; roller coaster design; the range of rides and shops available; viewing visitors happiness level, its all been done. This game does everything right, the graphics are fine, the sound is OK and the game plays fine, but the problem is that it does nothing new. This game should satisfy any budding theme park owners but those who are more casual fans who perhaps own other games in the genre should think carefully before purchasing this.

It's the bitter ex-theme park employee in me that loved the original RollerCoaster Tycoon so very much. Where else can you brutally torture idiot tourists and run a once-thriving business into the ground by spending all your money on life-size replicas of the pyramids? Want to find out more?

Moche et mal conçu dans cette version console, Rollercoaster Tycoon perd une partie conséquente de son intérêt en se voyant aussi mal porté sur Xbox. A réserver aux gros amateurs du genre qui ont sans doute déjà un PC et pourront se payer le jeu original pour moins cher que ça.

I started with the demo of this game and loved it. I'm heavily into sim games, and this one was really neat because it was more than just plunking down the rides; you could design your own. Unfortunately, the limited demo didn't really get far into ride design, and what it did allow wasn't too difficult or confusing. That's unfortunate because the game beyond the demo levels is difficult and the ride construction can be very confusing. I assumed what information wasn't forthcoming in the demo would also be in the game's manual, but it isn't. In short: this game should have been great, but ended up being so frustrating that I didn't even finish it through all the scenarios before I got fed up.

This is one of the most absolutely pathetic jobs of porting a PC game to the console I have seen in this horrid little life of mine. God almighty, I really can't believe the depths to which Roller Coaster Tycoon on Xbox sinks. For one, this is a really, really old game, and – without the benefit of a high-resolution PC monitor – the graphics are simply laughable. Take a look at some of the ground and water textures, and you'll swear you're playing The Legend of Zelda on NES. Remember sprite graphics? Wow, they were cool; and, thanks to Roller Coaster Tycoon, you can use the Power of Xbox™ to see them again!
