Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I bought the Gold Package and the Wild Expansion. This is our first time playing the Roller Coaster Tycoons and we are hooked. We caught ourselves thinking about what else to add to our parks. The worst part of this game is that you can't stop playing. My husband and I now have to route the times we get the computer because we both want to play all the time. I love this game! Oh yeah... If you are running Windows XP make sure you have at least 512MB of RAM or the game will crash. Customer Review: Slow frame rate severely detracts from game experience.
Summary: 2 Stars
I really enjoyed the roller coaster tycoons of versions past, however this one really is a let down. While the addition of 3D graphics is a nice touch, the game runs INCREADBLY SLOW! I have a decent system (2.5Ghz with Ati x800 and 1 Gig Ram) well over the recommended specs, and after building a small roller coaster or two the game simply grinds to a halt running at about 2 frames per second. It's almost excruciating to play which is really to bad because the game over all would be pretty fun. I like the addition of the ability to `ride the rides' but it is ultimately useless you are on the only ride in the whole park. The frame rate is so bad that it makes the whole experience un-enjoyable.
Part of what I enjoyed about past versions was building huge coasters and parks, but that simply can't be done in this version with out a CRAY supercomputer / video card. Even after patching the game I only got a slight boost in frame rate. The second my park grew an additional 100 or so people or "peeps" I was right back to snail speed where I was.
Overall the idea was great, but the execution is very poor. The slow play makes it impossible to recommend this game.
Customer Review: Boys love this game!
Summary: 5 Stars
All of the Tycoon games are superstars in our house - but Tycoon 3 is well worth the investment. It challenges our boys to use their minds far more than a video game does and if we let them play with this game non-stop - they'd be on it 24/7. Zoo Tycoon is also a big hit in our house - but this one's their hands down favorite.
