  1. Gives new meaning to depth. [Dec 2002, p.149]
  2. There's nothing breakthough, but RCT fans should shriek with pleasure. [1 Nov 2002, p.77]
  3. The colors look relatively poor, and the camera still cannot be moved in 3D; this is one of the worst flaws of the game as it actually affects gameplay.
  4. The game hasn't changed much in three years, so the graphics are starting to show their age and players cannot "ride" their creations.

    I remember playing the first RCT when i was very young. It was one of my favorite games to play. RCT 2 took one of the best games of all time, and made it even better! It added new rides, better animations, etc. With the exception of RCT 3, i loved all of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games. Expand

    I played the first game to death, and yes, this time round is very similar in many aspects, but there are also many new features, which mean that you can do the things that weren't possible first time round. Expand

    After playing the original "rollercoastertycoon" I really enjoyed it, and the other 2 expansion packs did nothing but get better. But rollercoaster tycoon 2 does not impress me that much. It is so much slower! Overall I give it a 5. Expand
