If this were a movie, it would be the same plot with perhaps an extra character or an added fifteen minutes thrown in.

The 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.

Long 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]

This was THE GAME, alongside other notable classics like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, The Sims, Warcraft 3, etc., that all the cool older brothers and nephews had on their computers to show off in the early two thousands. And the game was an absolute banger. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 holds up even to this day. You probably have to download something like OpenRCT2 for it to run properly on a modern machine. It's absolutely insane to think that this was all written by one man (Chris Sawyer) in pure assembly to get it to work on the hardware of the time.

an insane amount of fun. careful, 6 hours can slip away in a heartbeat. the amount of customization can leave you tweaking things for hours on end and making things exactly how you want them. this game was so significant in my gaming history, even for not being on console. arguably one of the greatest PC games all time

This is the game they should of used in school to prepare you for your future. From management to engineering, from managing a loan to customer service keeping people happy. This is the goat it doesn't need internet it isn't 100gb plus for no reason it isn't poorly optimized, it is fun, addictive and creative. This is the game where you can make a ride set it to go 120kph while passengers are on it and watch them all fall and blow up from the drop zone you could even make them drown. This game would allow you to do so much yet for so little. The way gaming use to be now it's so much for so little.

Gives new meaning to depth. [Dec 2002, p.149]

Just 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.

A pretty fun game, but it essentially ends ujp being more of the same. [Jan 2003, p.67]

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.

A pretty good game in its own right, if you try to forget that it’s pig-ugly and meant to be a sequel.

If 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.

An amazing rollercoaster/theme-park, management/simulator game, Made even better by the team at OpenRCT2, even without ORCT2 its still an amazing game to this day, even if the graphics may be "dated".

I would rate 100 stars if I could I've been playing this game for about 10 years and still don't get bored! The amount of maps, scenarios, designs, and rides is awesome: the fact you can even build your own roller coasters and even a couple other rides with all of the landscaping and decorative tools just blows me away for a game made in 2002! BUY THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY OR JUST GET IT IDC!

This game has been a part of my collection for as long as I can remember. I cant even imagine how many countless hours I've spent trying to design the perfect park in this game. The game does everything right in so many ways. Even by today's standards this game goes above and beyond to give the user nearly unlimited creative capability, from making ridiculous roller-coasters to designing the very foundation where the entire park is laid. no game in the genre has captivated me the as this game has.

First RC-Game I played. Not bad at all but it really feels old. The sequel on the 3D-Engine works a bit better in my opinion.
