Customer Review: Buy This Game NOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is very addictive and fun. I bought the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and the Roller Coaster Tycoon Gold Edition. This game offers true strategy and thought. You can practically do anything you want with the guests and make them ride the roller coaster over and over again. This game is great for anyone who likes to design things and run businesses. I reccomend this game to anyone any age and any sex.Customer Review: More great fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Roller Coaster Tycoon is such addictive fun. Here is more of the same great fun. It is more complicated and more difficult because there are no entry fees. Oh yeah, play, and play, and play.Customer Review: coolest

Summary: 5 Stars
RCT is one of the best games I have ever played. It requires a lot of strategy and thinking. It also allows you to build and manage your own park and mostly let you do anything you want in it. Sadly the only problem with this game is that the original RCT works for Windows XP but the expansions don't. =(Customer Review: Fun for ALL ages (and works in XP)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game as a Christmas gift and installed it on a single parent family's 1st computer. It went on without any "issues". The oldest boy (12 years old) watched me as I installed it and commented: "What a dumb game; it doesn't look like as much fun as (arcade) or pinball games". I told him confidentially that I had bought the game for his two "littler" sisters. I came back 2 days later and his mom says he started playing the game, now is playing it to the exclusion of all other computer games, is playing non-stop and hasn't come up for air!! Actually, he's learning how to run a business and make valid business decisions. He now has $250,000.00 and many many park customers; his mom couldn't be prouder of him. I hope he doesn't see this review (he still thinks it is a game).This game has you doing it all: Building roller coasters, ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, and all of the other types of rides you find at a typical amusement park. You also build food kisoks, drink kiosks, design the park layout, build footpaths, build park benches and trash recepticles, etc. And, you have to hire maintenance, custodial and security personnel. There is a lot of strategy involved and you must listen to your customers' feedback and act accordingly in order to have your park continue to grow and be patronized. This sounds overwhelming but the interface is VERY well laid out, is very intuitive, and, if you start slowly at first, you'll soon be in the "thick of things", totally immersed and having more fun than you ever thought possible from a "dumb old game".
Oh! And by the way, I didn't have to do anything "special" to get it to play on the XP system. I just installed it and was "good to go".
