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

    If this came out on the xbox originally, I believe the metacritic score would be in the 85-90 range. It's an exact port of the pc original but with console (no mouse) controls - it works well. I haven't been this addicted to an xbox game in a really long time.

    Awkward shovelware port of the PC classic. Cool magnifying glass, though.

    A mediocre-looking strategy game with amazing depth and gameplay value - a decent enough ride to be sure, and maybe even worth the $30 price of admission. [Aug 2003, p.89]

    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."

    With over 90 levels of park building fun, tons of rides (building rollercoasters is fun), and thousands of little things to do, Rollercoaster Tycoon is a must have title for any sim lover... or any game lover!!
