now for some people this book might be confusing because there so used to there little colering books but in truth this is a really good guide even though it does repeat it's self alot but thats just to make sure those people who dont grasp stuff on the first go get in the end. I haven't read the part that tells you how to beat the game so i cant really rate it but as for the rest of the book it does go much deeper into the other aspects then the manual did and the ride and atractions chapter is very helpful for pricing right. I read this thing in two days just to see what I got out of it and I noticed that I didn't get board and just walk away like I always did with the games manual which was good cause i did learn some really valuable stuff.

so here's the summery:

Pros: easy to read, good info, cheats, a walkthough, and free downloads for things like coasters and building.

Cons: None really altough he repeats himself alot but thats about it.

Final Thought: A good buy for those who are having some trouble or just like knowing it all.

My husband and I are rollercoaster tycoon fanatics and this guide was extremely helpful. We learned a lot about building coasters and parks. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who plays the game as it will give you great insight on how to improve your parks.

Got the game for Christmas and was having trouble understanding how to play it well. I ordered this book and now enjoy and understnad the game better. Shipment arrived in time frame stated and was in better condition than expected. Thanks Amazon for helping solve my needs and problems again :~)

The directions are very confusing...
The subjects covered are unneeded and repetative...
The ride/shop lists are impossible to navigate...
The directions for the Scenarios are completely useless (especially La La Land, which I haven't been able to complete)...

So, the verdict is...
Don't buy this guide. It's horribly done and is a waste of money...

If you could afford the latest computer you will probably love this game. But if your like me, and cannot, you will become frustrated at the fancy graphics hogging all your computers "thinking" capacity when 5 rollercoasters are the limit to this "fun" park.

They need to reduce some of the graphics to bring back some of the gameplay.
