Video Game Reviews of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum
Customer Review: RC Tycoon 3 review
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great game, because now you can create yourself, your friends, and vitually ride your rides using coaster cam. You can also switch the time of day from day to night, so you can see the rides with lights with laser shows and fireworks in the background. The disadvantages are that it takes a long time to install and load. Sometimes I have experienced short pauses or even stops in the game. Even with this drawback, I still love the game and would encourage anyone to purchase it. Customer Review: Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a Blast
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of RCT2 and was dubious that RCT3 would hold up, given the major refactoring into full 3-D. Granted I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but my kids (ages 13, 11, 8) have been on it for a couple of weeks and rant and rave about what an awesome game it is. Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not been playing this game long. I received it as a gift for my Birthday a few weeks ago and have been playing ever since. This is a great game. The Platinum edition is a great deal. However, I do not think I would have paid the money for all 3 games seperately -- I am disappointed that there is no undo button like in the first Rollercoaster Tycoon game because I ended up using it a lot. The load time is forever and my computer moves slowly sometimes (usually when I am trying to put in a Rollercoaster). I don't understand because my computer meets all the requirements for the game? Oh Well... overall I like this game.Customer Review: Best RCT yet... if you have a high end computer.
Summary: 5 Stars
By far the best, most realistic Roller coaster tycoon yet.
I love the RCT games and bought RCT3 when it first came out a few years ago. It is much more realistic that previous RCT games and allows you much more flexibility in customizing and has more rides, more coasters, and more landscape options than the previous versions.
This game REQUIRES a very fast computer, a good graphics card, and lots of memory. It was unplayable on my old computer... long load times, long pauses, poor frame rates, etc. and I didn't play it for several months out of frustration (at the time I would have rated this game a 1). I bought a new computer last year and since then the only problem I have had is there is still about a 15-20 second load time when I select rollercoasters. I would rate this a 5.
Customer Review: flashy but clunky
Summary: 3 Stars
For all the added 3d effects and flashy look, I found this game very frustrating with no "undo" feature. Also, what happened to using the right button to get out of what you are building or what ever? With this game, you have to go back and press the same button again to get out of a mode. The pools are impossible to build, I found that the ramp to the pool complex I was building could never quite reach the ground and the lengths of ramp sections were not adjustable in length to fix the problem. Very frustrating. Also, I am tired of the "grid". Why can't we put things where we want? I also gave up on building water rides. Tycoon 2 was more enjoyable.
