2.0 out of 5 stars Skatepark tycoon???????, July 16, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Skateboard Park Tycoon (CD-ROM)

When I saw the title of this game I though WOW cool a skatepark game. I thought since the title said tycoon that this game would be just as good as the original roller coaster tycoon, and boy was I wrong. First off I had a super hard time trying to load it onto my pc. My pc is far better that the system requirements and it still wouldn't load. Then when I finally got it to load and tried it it was far WORST than i expected. The grafics were OK but RCT was way better. You only have sertant ramps you can choose from and the whole idea was just bad. Overall don't get this game and spend your valuble money on this junk!! Get a real skateboard game and get Tony Hawk.

Denny (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Skateboard Park Tycoon (CD-ROM)

I've tried installing it on two different machines. After chewing up 400MB on my son's W98 machine, it said it needed Direct X (included). I installed it, the game still failed. The error messages and install procedure are the worst I've ever experienced (and I've seen a lot!). The Direct X diagnostic confirmed the machine was working fine. Examining the diagnostic specs against the 6 point type on the box, I discovered the game requires 8MB of video RAM and 3D acceleration (which should have been detected first!!!)
Sooo, I installed it on W2K. The Direct X on the CD was not compatible so I downloaded it. Diagnostics run fine, meets all specs, the game WILL STILL NOT PLAY. No messages, just immediate crash!
I'm kicking myself - always read Amazon reviews before buying!
