4.0 out of 5 stars RCT3 - finally complete!, February 1, 2007
By 
Bruce Gray "gurpsgm" (Shenandoah Valley, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum (CD-ROM)
Roller Coaster Tycoon has been one of the most successful of the 'tycoon' games on the market today, and it's easy to see why. RCT is probably, down and away, one of the most fun and addictive of all the tycoon games. This version of RCT3 now has all the expansions included with the main game: "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3," "RCT3: Soaked!", and "RCT3: Wild!".

I've played all three - RCT1, RCT2, and now RCT3. I enjoy all of the franchise. I've always wondered what it would be like to BE Walt Disney - even if it's just in a game. And Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum does not disappoint.

Although the interface isn't quite as good as is on Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, it's still usable once you get over the rather kiddiefied look. It's the three dimensional look that gives this game a fresh slant to earlier versions. And the new coaster cam adds a bit of a thrill, although I myself only found myself using it infrequently at best.

RCT3 itself adds the coaster cam and three dimensional look and feel. RCT3: Soaked adds water park features, and RCT3: Wild adds a bit of Zoo Tycoon to RCT3. The customers look like "The Sims," and there's now obvious older and younger customers, and you must strike a balance of pleasing both.

I enjoyed my adventures with RCT3 very much. It can be very addictive. Just a little tweak can increase your park's success - or cause your failure. The scenarios are numerous, and the new three challenge in one scenario feature was a nice touch, even though I thought that some of them were a little too easy to reach the top.

The scenarios range from the tutorials (highly useful, even if you've played other Tycoon games), beginners scenarios, advanced scenarios and expert scenarios as well as a couple "Real" parks.

The new Fireworks shows feature is nice, but I found designing your own to be a bit time consuming, not to mention in-game expensive for the small return you get.

The new VIP guest feature is also a nice touch. Please the VIP, and you often get a nice bonus that lets you finish that roller coaster that you were building, or add other new features to your park.

The Coaster Design 'sandbox' feature lets you design and test coasters without using a park or scenario. This is a nice touch, and it was very helpful to be able to see what features of the roller coasters added which excitement level, what nausea level (yes, peeps still barf! :-) and what features add or subtract from those figures.

But I find myself drawn back to RCT2 over and over again. RCT3's building features are not as good as RCT2's were, and there are nowhere near as many fan-created rides, scenarios, or sets (whole parks) as there are for RCT2. Building water park items, such as dinghy slides, is now more difficult, since they must end in a swimming pool complex.

Although I'd recommend this game, even to RCT die-hards, if you already =really= enjoy RCT2, you will probably be disappointed by RCT3. And it's really recommended to newbies, especially since they finally got the game and expansions in one pack. Although Chris Sawyer denies working on RCT4, my guess is that you'll see it eventually. Until then, Happy Tycooning!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of games, a lot of fun!, November 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I read a lot of reviews about this game not running properly on windows 7 so before I paid for it and downloaded it I downloaded the demo from the developer website to try it out. The demo worked fine so I purchased and installed the game and it works perfectly. The game comes with the original roller coaster tycoon 3 along with 2 expansion packs - soaked and wild. This means a lot of scenarios and a lot more rides to choose from than if you were just playing the original version. I haven't played too much with the wild expansion (which basically lets you incorporate a zoo into your park) but I have played with the soaked expansion and it is a lot of fun. Overall this game is great and I recommend it to anyone who likes to play simulation games. If you are unsure about whether the game will work on your system, I suggest doing what I did and trying the demo before purchasing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum, September 7, 2008
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum (CD-ROM)
I have run all 3 versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon and this last version takes most of the problems and glitches that were in the first release and either corrects them or gets rid of them. At the same time though, it also created some new ones. For instance in the original release the gargoyle statues that are animated to lean forward and shoot fire out of their mouths, no longer have the fire, they just lean forward and open their mouths but nothing comes out. It also has combined the two expansion packs (Wild and Soaked) onto the same disc so all games are installed at the same time.

A work of caution though. This is a very high end graphic and memory heavy game. You really need a top line machine with lots of Ram memory, a fast processor and a high end graphics card with lots of memory and very fast screen rendering. If you try to run this on a standard system it will slow down as you add rides and scenery to the point where it's impossible to use. And it doesn't run with Windows Vista. XP Pro is the best version to run this game on.

The other thing that was left intact is the "hidden" Flying Camera program so that after you have finished builing your creation using the Scenario Editor you can bring up this program and then plot out a camera route through and around your Park then record it to your hard drive. It does take a long time though so keep your camera routes short. A 3 minute shoot will take about 3 hours to render when when recording as it shoots 1 frame at a time. The resulting video is Hi Res but there is no sound. You can then use Movie Maker or some other Movie Creator program to input these files, put them together with tranistion effect, ass sound or music and save the resulting movie to disc then use other programs to burn a DVD to play on your TV to show off your Park. I have used this program to make DVD's of my Neverland Resort, Magical World of Harry Potter and several others I have created over the past few years. It's a lot of hard work but the results are more than worth it.
