    This is a very deep simulation and it’s this kind of detail that makes it so addictive, showing up other wannabes like "Jurassic Park: Project Genesis."

    The Xbox version is as close to the original as possible but the sloppy execution of accessing the interface is hampered by the limited control system.

    Armchair tycoons who haven't already played RollerCoaster Tycoon to death on their PCs should find a lot to like here.

    One of the most pathetic jobs of porting a PC game to the console I have ever seen in this horrid little life of mine. [June 2003, p.114]

    this game is fun and addicting but the graphics are adequate. the rollercoasters lack options and the guests are identified by numbers.
