Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Review:Retaining the same aims and objectives that have underpinned the series to date,
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 nonetheless is a solid evolution for the franchise. And it doesn't hurt that it happens to be one of the most friendly, open and accessible management games on the PC platform.
The aim remains to build up a winning theme park, with a special emphasis on building and designing its premium rides. And this is where the game's most obvious improvement kicks in. Whilst its predecessors were undoubtedly engrossing and enjoyable strategy games in their own right, neither was graphically anything special.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 however features significantly improved visuals, that make a surprising difference to the game itself. That's because you're now able to get virtual first-hand experience of your creations, and can zoom in on any part of your park, and the overall effect is one of added depth.
Elsewhere, the challenges have been tweaked and refined, and are just as much fun as they always were. Whilst you can play at different levels, the long-term test lies with the career mode, where you must beat the numerous scenarios the game has to offer. Suffice to say, to succeed at that you need to be fully versed in resource management, park design and, crucially, keeping your customers happy. It's not easy, but it is tremendously immersive, and given the game's steady and cultured learning curve, you never feel out of your depth.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is ultimately a steady evolution of a formula that works exceptionally well, and it does so here again. Sure, the mechanics have evolved at a slower rate than the visuals, but that doesn't stop the game being that rarest of things--a strategy game that the whole family can enjoy.--

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is a simulation game that lets you build and control your own theme park from the comfort of your home computer. This is the third game in the series and is without doubt the best, offering a massive range of new rides, overhauled graphics, and new features.
You are in complete control of every little detail. From choosing the rides you want to build, to designing and building your own custom coasters, to managing your staff, choosing advertisement campaigns, keeping ...

There is nothing wrong with the graphics, or the music, nor are there any glitches that made the game unplayable, but none the less I did not enjoy this game as much as I thought I would.
Like all games, it's only really fun for a short time, but this time was very short indeed. It did, however, give me enough enjoyment to make it worth paying the small price of £3, which I do not understand at all, and only 6 months ago I payed about 10 times that price.

This game is amazing and addictive. The graphics are incredible and the game is by far the best rollercoaster/themepark game I have ever played.
HOWEVER, it is flooded with faults. They are not just on my computers, as the internet is full of listings of the many glitches and problems with the game. You will probably encouter at least one problem or glitch with the game if you do purchase it. I have tried things to prevent the problems, and the Atari support for the game is always the same: ...
