Summary: 5 Stars
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a really great game. Many people think that it's not that great just because of the different interface. I strongly disagree. Before I bought this game, I read the reviews and thought twice about getting it. Countless reviews spoke of new features that just dragged the game down. But I am a fan of the RCT series, so I decided to take a chance and buy it. Luckily, I made the right choice.
It's true; the game is very different than the other RCT games, but that's not a bad thing. The new 3-D graphics let you fully experience your park. You can move the camera to unlimited angles and zoom in or out as close or far as you want. There are loads of new coaster types, rides, shops, and much more. You can customize your own buildings exactly as you please. Bring the park of your imagination to life.
Another plus is that you can ride the rides. One really good feature is this - have you ever played the previous RCT games and wished you could ride the roller coasters you built? Well, if you have any previous titles installed on you computer, the game simply transfers them to 3-D and you can place it in your RCT3 park.
The other features are great as well. You can play the career mode, in which you meet certain objectives in parks that are already started. Unlike the other RCT games, however, there are three levels of objectives - apprentice, entrepreneur, and tycoon - for each scenario. Each level consists of one or more objectives. You must complete apprentice to unlock entrepreneur, though, and so on and so forth. You must also complete these scenarios to unlock new scenarios.
Another mode is Sandbox Mode, in which you have a large piece of land and unlimited money to do whatever you want with. You can even design your own scenarios and objectives, or make your own customized guest, or "Peeps." You can add your own music from your computer to play during a ride.
Overall, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a really great game. Buy it, and you won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: Very different from RC-2 but riding the rides is GREAT!
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 looks VERY different from the first and second versions of the game. Others have addressed some of these major differences and I echo these sentiments.
What I will add: If you are sensitive or suffer from motion sickness, be careful when "riding" a ride. I literally became quite ill with a migraine! I will say, however, my children LOVED this aspect of the game and can easily spend hours doing so.
The peeps can be a little disappointing. They wander around and get lost easily unless you have very SIMPLE paths. I also agree that sandbox is the way to go.
But this game is about building rides and the ability to do so in this is a fantastic feature. I think it is a little more challenging and not being able to make tunnels is a little disappointing but making some out of this world roller coasters will make it worth everything for some people.
I also have never had any problems running this on my system.
Customer Review: It's AWESOME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't get why all my friends are hating on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. It's my favorite in the entire series of games!
The fact that you can design people to enter your park, design really awesome roller coasters that you can virtually ride, and the fact that there is a wider range of even more rides and coasters are all so incredible to make Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 my favorite in this entire selection of games!
I don't understand why everyone hates this one, because I don't understand where their hate is coming from, but I don't know. I guess it's just not for them. Anyway, this is a great game and a good addition to your video game/computer game collection.
Customer Review: Fun game

I bought the game for my sister, she's 13 and she loves it. It gives goals to reach, that way the player learns how to manage their money.
