5.0 out of 5 stars Triple the Fun, September 20, 2004

By	Bruce Gray "gurpsgm" (Shenandoah Valley, VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

"Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack" finally delivers the RCT2 I wanted. It not only lets you simulate building amusement parks, complete with rides, food & drink stalls, and other attractions, but this pack includes a huge number of different coasters and examples of each type, and also allows you to try to build your own coasters. There are many other types of amusement park rides, including log flumes and water slides, merry-go-rounds and ferris wheels, go kart race tracks and car rides, and many others. There are also over a dozen scenarios ranging from fairly easy to fairly difficult. The fact that all the scenarios are accessible from the beginning of the game is a big plus.

The replay value of this game is great. I find myself coming back to see if I can better my previous rating or ending park value, or both, or add something to my previous parks to make them more interesting. I know I've spent countless hours designing little tweaks to make my parks or rides "just right".

The primary program, "Roller Coaster Tycoon II," provides many good features that are a big improvement over RCT1, but the same graphics engine is used. I really like this sim game - probably more than any other game like it. If you like amusement parks and roller coasters, and you like games like "Civilization" and other simulations, you'll love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

"Wacky Worlds" adds a lot of scenery like the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and many others to make your park a true international experience. There are over 20 new scenarios, 50 new ride types (not all of which will be coasters), and about a total of 250 new game elements. But the total of the new elements in "Wacky Worlds" wasn't worth the price of admission all by itself.

"Time Twister" adds even more great rides and some really wonderful scenarios to the overall mix. There's a few for every age - from the Medieval to the present and beyond. There's also a few new rides and attractions. "Time Twister" also suffered from not having nearly enough material to satisfy RCT fans by itself.

But now you can Triple your fun with this all in one pack. Amazon.Com doesn't have half stars, so I can't give this game the 4 1/2 stars it deserves, but I'm sure if you've found previous games in the series interesting. you'll love tripling your fun!

If you've never tried Roller Coaster Tycoon, and you like amusement parks, you'll love the ability to design and build your own amusement park. RCT2 gives you almost everything that the old game had. But if you've already tried RCT1 you may find that this game just isn't different enough from the original, even though it includes the new scenario designer and other new features. The graphics haven't been updated much at all - and the graphics were already a little dated in RCT1.

But if you =really= want the =complete= pack, do an Internet search for "RCT2 User Created Expansion Set" and download that. You will be highly surprised at the many new features, rides and other things that fan-created expansion does for this game.

Now that my predictions have come to pass and everything is available for RCT2, I very highly recommend this purchase over any of the other stand alone sets, including the incomplete "Combo Pack". But if you already =love= RCT2, then just wait a few weeks - Chris Sawyer and Atari are rolling out RCT3 - which finally has a 3D feel and a coaster cam! If you've never tried to build your own amusement park, and had a secret yen to try it, then RCT2 is a great game. Watch out Disney World - here comes Roller Coaster Tycoon 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sequel to best Simulation Game ever, June 20, 2006

By	Chess Player trying to improve - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

No doubt about it, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the best simulation game ever! Atari hits a homerun with this awesome sequel. For those of you who have never played the original, I'll describe it briefly.

You can build your own park, construct rides, food areas, and souvenir stalls. You build the paths, can make custom or predesigned rides and make scenery. Every park is a scenario, where your goal is to meet a certain objective. One example of an objective would be "Have 1000 people in your park by year 3 with a park rating of 600"

RollerCoaster Tycoon gives you all types of data in finances, pinpointing where you may be losing money. Also, you can start marketing campaigns to get more guests. It has a convenient, easy to use interface

IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE ORIGINAL ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
1. Guests look at scenery and rides and have more detailed thoughts
2. Now if you construct a pre-designed ride, the game clears trees for you( this was a big nuisance in the original)
3. WAY more rides! (And I mean a ton more)
4. Cool Sixflags Parks
5. A lot of different stalls (for example, now there is a lemonade stall)
6. Sorting of parks by difficulty level

One thing that hasn't improved over the previous version is the graphics. They are exactly the same. But since the graphics in the original RollerCoaster Tycoon were good to start with, this isn't a problem.

This is way better than RollerCoaster Tycoon 3(which frankly sucks). Get this instead.
