RollerCoaster Tycoon

The Good
The controls on the indiviual sims in the game made it adictive for continual play. Being able to moniter their spending habits along with their excitement level makes this game a joy to play.

The Bad
There are times that the sims get to tedious to manage, such as, when they get lost in the park or not being able to find the food stand when they are standing right in front of it.

The Bottom Line
A great game that puts the player in the drivers seat in creating roller coaster works of art.

The Good
This game was ace. It had both some theme park to start with and also ones that just had the bare land which allowed you to start with a park that already had rides and a theme. I thought that was great because you get to play about for a bit before constructing your own little playground. They had a variety of rides and landscapes for you to play around with. I really liked the variety from rollercoasters to a haunted house and water rides.

The Bad
You can't really complain about a game that let's you be god. Okay, just one complaint- the costume for the park employess...ugh!

The Bottom Line
I played this at first to kill time and because it was the only PC game that I had. It grew on me as it should on most people. It was entertaining and is definitely a great addition to any gamer who also has a passion for amusement parks.

The Good
I liked designing roller coasters, You have to master all the little tricks of the game to make a perfect coaster park, and then after that you have to branch out and learn all the tips like bathroom to drink stall ratio, and then comes the expansion packs! It sounds like a lot of work, but actually its fun- especially if you actually become a tycoon. This is the kind of game that you can play over and over. I'm actually on my third year and I have two expansion packs and they're NOT DONE! I keep re-playing the same scenarios.

The Bad
I didn't like a couple of scenarios, and of course the ever-present threat of drowning. Also, the hamburger and pizza stalls make me hungry.

The Bottom Line
So addictive, I miss dinner!! And I happen to be an eat-aholic!
