Now really this is the best game ever... so addictive and so fun. I played this for 5 years and i didnt get bored. Now i stopped because i fucking lost the CD. The best part is trying to make the most brutal rides where you die (but you need cheats for that) that you go to unlimeted hight and drop down to an unlimited deepness... I wish i could still play and i think im going to get this for cristmas.… Expand

Great game!! I love this game so much. There are some great graphics and feature in this game.

This is a MUST HAVE! You can create rollercoaster, billboards, fireworks, laser shows, and even your own shop! Any tycoon lover should get off of their computer right now, and run to the nearest store that has this game! I only have one bug, and that's that you cannot exit! I've pressed quit game, but it just stays there, and there's no way to close it. This may just be my computer.… Expand

After installing the new 10mb patch, I found the overall experience of this game to have seemless handling with strong and insightful tutorials. It may help to have included sample developed parks to try out the new riding features for those newcomers wishing to "dive in" (if they are included, they are very hard to locate). The potential for future improvements for Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 seem set based on this games new and exciting features!… Expand

Perfect fun! Disregard all the old reviews posted when the game came out. In November of 2004, it was full of bugs. By January of 2005, all the problems were solved in the second patch. The game is awesome. Aside from the standard micro-management aspect, you can ride any ride yourself. Also, there is an amazing "sandbox" mode where you create the ultimate park with no real-world concerns dragging you down. Much better than RC2 in every way and includes a great tutorial mode.… Expand

It is the greatest game ever!!!!!!! The only thing I dont like about it is that you can not drop people into the water.

with the soaked and wild expansion packs this game is awesome! pretty much everything is customizable by you and in a fun and interesting way too not a boring 'oh i have to do this and repeat it 1000 times' way - theres just so much cool stuff - same feel as RCT2 but awesomer! :D

One of the best games I have on my PC. If I ever have a spare moment in my day, I'll pop on RCT3, as it is endless fun. There is more fun in designing a custom scenario with custom tunes than there is in 90% of games out on the market! Bring on rollercoaster tycoon 4 damn it!

BRILLIANT! Don't be fooled by the cover name`s appeal to children, definitely a classic in the making for all ages! I love it.

I find this game very funny and the graphics are not that bad, what is really not that great is the performance that the game has after you have 1000 peeps in your park. Anyways, It's cool to watch the rides and the peeps falling off them, falling off stairs, etc... Epic game! (Graphics: 7; Gameplay: 10; Performance: 8; Buildings: 10; Views: 9; Entertainment: 10; Overall: 88,5 ~ 9)

How can you not enjoy a game where you kill thousands of people with a single roller coaster? NO ONE HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHALOLOLOAHAHAHHAHAH

Riding the rides is soooo cool!!

If you have a custom computer like mine with the top tech it is really fun, but for all you people that don't have a lot of money then it won't run as well so I'd wait for a new computer before getting this game.

I love riding my coasters!

It's a wonderful game at a very good price.It is way better then the other rollercoastertyconn expansion packs! I hope there will be a fourth game to this!

This is the greatest game i have i have all hp games and i think rollercoaster toyccon 3 is thwe best game EVER! But it depens if you take good care of it and sure it has a couple of bugs but you can make your own familys dress them name them and they come to your park also you can play with peeps i mean littalery play with them make a half roller coaster and then the peeps fly and fall but its mostly ride i mean the grafics are asomme!!… Expand

RCT has been a really awesome series for me, so much customizability included in a little package. I can't say anything specifically for the Platinum edition, as I bought RCT 3 and the 2 expansion packs before I had even heard of the versions that wre the game and the expansion pack combined. There's just something so entertaining about making an awesome rollercoaster and letting your guests ride it.… Expand

RCT3 is an exceptional game, and if you have a computer up to the task, the sky's not the limit, it's your imagination. While it is demanding in PC Specs to the casual PC gamer, the results if you have a great system is beyond extraordinary. The graphics are great for its time, which is part of why a good computer is needed. Guest AI has been probably quadrupled from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and tenfold from the original, so you don't have to deal with moron guests. The CoasterCam is a great feature with one shortcoming however: the transitions in the track are very rough so sometimes a ride can be painful to watch. The Career mode was too easy however, as I beat it within two days. The Sandbox mode will more than make up for it though, as you can build your dream park, or just turn the place into a bowling alley with your guests as the pins and roller coaster trains as the ball. I am never bored with RCT3, and if you have a good video card (For me, 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro), you should be able to play the game through and get beautiful parks out of it.… Expand

I thought Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 was excellent. The people at Atari definitely did the right thing when they added Coaster Cam and Sandbox Mode, which are my two favorite features in the game. I love Coaster Cam because I sometimes realize that, when I am "riding" a coaster that's going straight down, my stomach will lurch! I also like the Sandbox Mode because, first of all, it combines all the features of the expansion pack. A.k.a. you do not have to select just Soaked or just Wild. You can use all of them. I also like Sandbox mode because you can build unlimitedly, without any restraints. The graphics are amazing, and I love the fact that I can build waterfalls (I also love the fact that I can throw park guests into the water and they'll go down a waterfall!!!) RCT3 is an amazingly crazy game, but I found it to have one con: when building coasters, the pictographic icons confused me. It was difficult to figure out what they meant because they were very indirect and vague.… Expand

This game is awesome, but it has a few flaws. Main point was the 3d card u hafta buy with it. It costs about 200$, so u end up spendin a hell of alot of money juss for a game. The graphics r awesome but a couple of bugs. Riding the rides are pretty kewl. Besides the chip and the bugs, overall good game.

This version of the game is a quantum leap beyond RCT2... the graphics, the ability to ride your own rides, the water effects, everything works together to make it a much more immersive environment. There are a few things I'd like to see but don't (or haven't found yet) -- no tunneling, for example, which I used extensively in RCT2. There are a few missing niceties from the previous version -- being able to raise land, build on it, then lower it again to automatically create "stilts" for shops and buildings, a little more awkward behavior from the pathbuilder than I remember, but overall it's just stunning. There is only one game that I have actually become addicted to, and this is it! Be sure to run it on a powerful PC with a fair amount of memory -- it's a little picky about video cards/chips. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the "build your own world" model of gaming.… Expand

Probably one of the most enjoyable design games I have ever played, the hours just disappear. Just building the coasters is so much fun.
