Video Game Reviews of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
Customer Review: Fantastic game, though frustrating to start with.
Summary: 5 Stars
i really enjoyed (and still enjoy) this awesome game. It is really fun. Me, with my businessy mind, enjoyed the stategy of the game, while my cousin just enjoys making huge terrifying rollercoasters. This game definitely gets 5 stars in everything except that it is the first game I think Ive ever played that I actually need to read the instructions for!!!! The first time I entered it, I was kinda like: erm what on earth do i do>>??!! But in time, with pacience and dedication, I really got addicted to it. I found the right game for me and also the right settings. You eventually start to work out how to get around and get stuff done, too. All in all, it is a really good game and deserves a definite *****!!!!!!Customer Review: Terrific
Summary: 4 Stars
I just played the demo and found it very entertaining. I notice that a lot of people would dissagree with me. How many of these people have windows 98 but are dieing to upgrade their system? They only hold back because of their computer games. RCT2 lets us upgrade our systems and yet still be aible to play a good game. I also think you had set such a high standerd of what YOU thought would make a good sequel that you got very dissapointed at what it REALLY was like. The only reason I took off a star is because of the graffics and it's a bit slow. I am getting the game very soon and I can't wait. I am nearly exploding with excitment!!!!!!!!!!Customer Review: Great series, disappointing sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
After a very long time with no official site updates or new changes to the game, it was exciting to hear that RCT developers were coming up with a new sequel to the Original Rollercoaster Tycoon.
The new sequel is like the original RCT1 with all it's expansion packs combined with technical changes. The sequel has scarcely changed and this has more disadvantages than advantages. Before explaining about the "down sides' let's talk about what this game is like. Rollercoaster Tycoon series are about designing your own park, managing it, analysing it, and building the rides and attractions, and creating the ultimate park. Also to that, the developers did lot of field research and added realism to the game as well as adding great physics engine to ride construction, and almost every material in the game really exists. And one of the most remarkable source in the game is the ride construction engine and system. It has the most incredibly simple and extremely free system in construction of rides and gives great depth of creativity, so you can either build a great rollercoaster or a terrible one -All the rides have a excitement, intensity, and nausea value due to it's design- rollercoasters and other track rides can be built by placing track segments.
The park design and management in the game is challenging enough to keep the fun in the game: one ride or one food stall misplaced may cause great loss in profit and park value; price every rides every stalls by analysing the circumstances; angry and dissatisfied guests, or no guests in the park even if you have the perfect rides or value are all the things you'll have to handle in this game. And these things can make you pause the game to analyze the park just to place a burger stall or dealing with the financial board to check your park growth or income from all of the park things.
Although the RCT1 and RCT2 has all these great sources in the game, there are few things that keeps the RCT2 down. First of all, nothing really changed. You select a park and achieve the objective given to you with each scenario and it's almost the same with RCT1, like increasing guests and park value and all those same things. And this game constantly and loads anytime if it has the chance. Which is frustrating because it even loads when exiting to the main menu. To make matters worse, all the scenarios in the game are all unlocked from the start. RCT1 added good old arcade game feature to increase the fun of the game and make the scenarios unlocked if you finish other available parks, so RCT2 loses one of RCT1's advantages. Some people might look forward to the park creator tool, but it's too time consuming and not as easy as it looks. They could have added more improvements in the game like multiplayer mode by the internet for players to challenge their tycoon skills.
Anyway RCT2 era it almost over and the new sequel Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is being developed with high-quality 3D graphics and diversity in guests with more personality to them. But if it isn't accompanied by a major positive change in the game, it's not going to be a greater game than its earlier versions.
To sum up, Rollercoaster Tycoon series is a great series but the first sequel of the original Rollercoaster Tycoon needs to be looked carefully before you decide to get it.

Customer Review: Its Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is a lot of fun. You build a amusement park and you have to make sure you dont run out of money. People can even die on rides. Its a lot better that the first rollercoaster tycoon.
