RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

This is an addictive game with a great playful and positive premise, something you don't usually find in games these days. I just wish the developers had been allowed a little more time to iron out the last few wrinkles.

Every bit as addictive, creative and as easy to play as its predecessor but with new looks and additions bringing it bang up to date. And if the Coaster Cam alone doesn't convince you that this is a worthy purchase, then quite frankly nothing ever will!
A surprising number of serious bugs damage what is otherwise a highly addictive game.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is a timeless theme park sim that blends creativity with management depth. The addition of full 3D visuals and the CoasterCam makes designing and riding your creations incredibly satisfying. While some mechanics feel dated, the freedom to build and customize parks is unmatched. Expansions add even more variety. A must-play for simulation fans. **9.3/10**

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 looks like pure fun. Even though I haven’t bought it yet, just watching gameplay and seeing what players can create makes it clear that this is one of the most entertaining simulation games out there. The freedom to build rides, manage a theme park, and experiment with crazy coaster designs looks endless and creative. It captures that mix of strategy and imagination perfectly. Everything about it, from the colorful style to the depth of management, gives the impression **** you can spend hours on without getting bored. To me, this is exactly what a simulation game should be: fun, creative, and full of possibilities.

This game is all about customization. You get everything you need to create a park right out of the box, but you can design your own scenarios, park guests, fireworks shows, and buildings. Incredibly, none of this is particularly challenging to figure out as long as you put five to ten minutes into tinkering, with the only exception being the fireworks creator.

There hasn't been high-level management game with this level of wit, style and vision since the dear departed Mucky Foot's "Startopia." This is as good as its genre gets, and deserves recognition.

This may be nostalgia but, the game is a fantastic theme-park management/simulator game, The coaster builder makes some pretty rough looking coasters, the graphics are dated and the resolution by default isn't wide-screen, but it's still a fun game to mess around with every once and a while. It still has one of the best firework simulators in a game!

Worth Playing
This is what a sequel should be ' they aren't trying to reinvent the genre or completely change how the game is played, they are taking what worked before and adding logical next-steps to it, making it better and fuller.

Like any good ride, it delights at every twist and turn and leaves you wanting more. [Jan 2005, p.74]

Those who do not want to embark on complex challenges will still find hours of enjoyment in sandbox mode.

Game Over Online
There’s also something terribly wrong with the sound in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.

And, despite the face of an excited, yelling teenager on the front cover of the box, we weren't screaming over this one.

The Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 game is very awesomely simple, and much better than the latest version of 2018. I still play this game version 3 even it is already released from more than 15 years.

Pros: Although the Graphics do not hold up in 2015, they are still pleasing. Also, the POV coaster rides are my favorite aspect of the game. Finally, the sandbox mode feature in the game lets you creatively create the park of your dreams. Cons: Occasional Crashes - even in the most recent version (RCT3 Platinum), inferior campaign modes to RCT1 and RCT2, and overall a less fulfilling "Tycoon" experience than the first two games. Finally, the coaster customization is limited and the Sandbox Mode only comes in one size. Overall, RCT3 is a great Tycoon/Simulation game, but not a perfect one.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 certainly gives the series a boost, but that excitement is shut down by far too many bugs. Pros: A lot of new features, such as sandbox mode; excellent graphics; ride your rides; funny characters; still addictive as ever. Cons: Too many bugs and epically long loading screens.

(0 out of 4 people found your review helpful. Thanks for the feedback) This game is fun if you leave out the fact that 1) you can't kill visitors, something that's been very fun in RCT 1 and 2, 2) Atari went overboard with the franchise but is now trying to patch up all the damage they've done by making a fun looking game by the name of roller coaster tycoon world, and 3) the game just gets boring after a while. I like to play sandbox because then I'm not limited to what I do but even then it gets boring, and 4) it kinda lags a bit. I had fun playing this in years that weren't 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010, because now the game shows its age and now that Atari realizes that the best choice was not to continue releasing crappy DS ports and pay2play iPhone games, they're trying hard to make a good game. Though this is all bad, I liked being able to see my coasters from the first person, something not capable in RCT 1 and 2, and there are tons of mods for this game. Other than that, if you are still interested in this game, buy it on steam when it's really cheap on something like a weekly deal or a seasonal sale.

A family of 3 to keep to playing on the rollercoaster tycoon 3 trade to ride on max overdrive/walk is driving my experience to keep this game to the brink! When i ha d a mass of the 2 child on board to try ride on rollercroaster flip my world upside-down in where the mere seconds comes down at the last to minute to control the ride shakes my world. I believe I wanted shine to keep online features of onion try to building a ride for maximum community, to try the best, keep it, and play once more as if the sky just fell on our feet. Thansk, game.
