Video Game Reviews of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Gold Compilation Pack
Customer Review: Try Before You Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I have enjoyed tycoon games in the past and bought this one because it was one of the top rated games. I have only played it for about an hour or 2. It's presentation turned me off. Game appears tedious to get in to, link graphics look like a cheap kids game. Maybe I'll get to it someday, but I suggest that you try it before you buy it.Customer Review: Addictive and Educational!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The game can be addictive! It is very fun, and entertaining for the entire family. My 8 and 9 year old love it! Believe it or not, it gives them an idea of what running a business is like, sort of--it's more than just fun and games. You can check you gains, losses, you can check charts and trends, how much to charge for a soft drink, for food, and for rides, etc. Customer Review: Resource Hog
Summary: 3 Stars
My kids say they like the original better. This one has a remarkably steep learning curve, even for those who are good at the original RC Tycoon. It also taxes your PC's resources.Customer Review: Couldn't load RCT3
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband and son spent almost 24 hours trying to load and run RCT3. We let our son open it as an early Christmas gift, and what a let down! We have 3 computers, all of which are Windows XP, and NONE of them could run this! My husband and I are both software engineers, and are very used to computer and software loading issues, so you can imagine our dismay with the fact that we couldn't get this to run on ANY of our computers! We finally just let him download RCT2 from the internet ($15 on top of the $20 we paid for the CD-ROM Gold package on Amazon) and RCT2 is running fine.
I vote for downloading the software vs. buying the CD-ROM package. I'll never make this mistake again!
Customer Review: A Kids Review
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product. This is my first tycoon buy, but I think it takes a little too long to load. The sandbox mode is lots of fun. If you want Wild get the Platuim Edition. The 3-D graphics are a good addition and the ride the ride is pretty fun. Lots of my friends want this game, and they say it's much better than the older, previous versions.
