There's not enough new content here to justify a standalone release.
-
The game hasn't changed much in three years, so the graphics are starting to show their age and players cannot "ride" their creations.
-
60A pretty good game in its own right, if you try to forget that it’s pig-ugly and meant to be a sequel.
-
82The 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.
-
81If this were a movie, it would be the same plot with perhaps an extra character or an added fifteen minutes thrown in.
-
80Just realize that when you go out and buy this game that you shouldn't expect a new game. You should expect to see a game that looks and plays like it was made 3 1/2 years ago.
-
78Fans should definitely indulge but more frugal souls who choose to meet Monica for the first time via a budget copy of the original game are certainly no fools.
-
76Doesn't really feel like a sequel to the great, addictive game that reached shelves more than three years ago. In fact, it feels more like yet another expansion to the title.
-
70You'll probably have a hard time believing that you waited so long for what the sequel has to offer: the same old graphics, the same old rides, and the same old objectives.
-
It’s not easy to learn and it looks about as pretty as a doggy chew toy. If you’re a sim freak, you’ll love it.
-
It’s exactly the same effing game!
-
60The scenario editor and coaster designer are nice, but don't expect an experience that looks or feels at all different from the first game because you won't find it here.
-
50If at first you succeed, don't change a thing. That could be the motto of Chris Sawyer's RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, a sequel that is essentially the exact same game as its predecessor.
-
True tycoons out there needn't waste their money. You've been on this ride before.
-
Gives new meaning to depth. [Dec 2002, p.149]
-
Fans of the original won't find much more here to interest them, but hopefully, like with me, it'll relight the flame and at least spark up their interest in the game itself once again.
-
80Long story short, if you own the first RCT and its two expansions, then you already own about 80 percent of RCT 2. [Holiday 2002, p.97]
-
The most detailed and elaborate simulation of its type, a game whose sheer scope makes it compelling even if it hasn't changed much over the years. [Jan 2003, p.76]
-
A good game, if not ground-breaking like the original. [Jan 2003, p.108]
-
RCT2 is going to disappoint fans, like myself, that wanted to take this game to the next level.
-
There's nothing breakthough, but RCT fans should shriek with pleasure. [1 Nov 2002, p.77]
-
75A pretty fun game, but it essentially ends ujp being more of the same. [Jan 2003, p.67]
