The Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2 are fantastic and engaging games. A little repetitive and kinda easy to figure out, but building your own coasters never gets tiring. Always a great time. Alongside Railroad Tycoon 2, these are hallmarks of the tycoon genre
Listen, its a good game, just really really similar to the first. The first game was amazing, and hence this game is as well; I was simply hopping for more. I would say however, that the few little quality of life and extra improvements do a good job at making this slightly more worth it to play then the first.
sehr gut
Can you believe that Chris Sawyer did all the work for this masterpiece?
Could be an eight depending on how I feel that day, but at the end of the day I am a bit of a retard, one could say, and really like the detailing options added in 3. I feel a bit constrained in this entry, like I can't truly flourish when I can't use three different colors on my paths. The simplicity is a benefit in many ways, but my immense talents of deciding how many pickles should be on the burgers I sell are immensely restrained here.
One of my first management sims and probably what made me love them in the first place.
the ultimate theme park sim game. nothing else comes close.
pretty entertaining, good way to kill time... and people too :)
I'm not paying that much for Restroom 1.
Pelo pouco que joguei dele, parece ser um jogo mais completo que o primeiro da franquia. Ótimo jogo de construção, vale a pena testar.
Definitivamente esse não é um jogo que só é bom por causa de "nostalgia". RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 é um simulador bem dedicado em quase todos os aspectos, requerendo do jogador boas estratégias de investimento e administração do parque durante a gameplay, o que com certeza vai satisfazer aqueles que gostam desse tipo de jogo. No meu caso, foi justamente o contrário: não gosto desse gênero mesmo, e só escolhi jogar novamente pela memória de infância — rendendo poucas horas de entretenimento verdadeiro. Ainda assim, seria desonesto eu não concordar que se trata de uma obra-prima desse estilo, a qual permanece sólida mesmo 20 anos depois.
For some reason I had it in my head from a kid that this was a lesser version of the 1st. On the contrary, it's just better. It's basically the same game just with added new features. This and the 1st are achievements of the all-time caliber of gamemaking. Its so mindboggling how Chris Sawyer made this game engine as optimally as this.
the fact that this game still runs well on modern computers gets it five stars alone
Still holds up to this day
With OpenRCT2, this ends up accidentally becoming one of the best simulation games ever made. I spent like, 40 hours on perfecting my first theme park, and now I don't have any motivation to play more? Whoops. Really fun while it lasted tho, and I can EASILY see myself dumping way more time into this game when I've taken a break and am less overworked with college.
What I liked: I played this for the first time as an adult, so I don't have any nostalgia for it, but I still thought it was totally solid. I'm a sucker for those late 90s early 00s graphics and the tycoon game aesthetic. Building your own park is fun and there's a surprising amount of room for creativity.
What I didn't like: This game made me feel like an idiot a lot of the time because there are a lot of very complicated mechanics that are really not explained, so I felt like I was constantly having to google how to do everything. I also didn't like how a lot of the game modes involved accomplishing a goal by a certain date because it made it hard to "role play" and gave me no time to do fun stuff like decorating. It also felt like half the time I wasn't "allowed" to put in like 90% of the coasters and I wasn't sure why.

Absolutamente Lendário
Yooo who else kept making multiple handymen as a child instead of actually setting their cleaning area? I had like ten dudes mowing grass and ignoring all the litter on the paths at any one time.
Some additional content and QOL improvements from the first, but I never liked it as much. It felt like there were too many options for rides/shops/scenery/etc. and nothing to do with them because the scenarios didn't unlock serially like the original. Still, a wonderful game and one with tons of replay value.
I got this from my older sister when I turned 12. Harbored absolutely no interest for this kind of game, and that continued after I tried playing it. Just didn't see the appeal. I'm sure I could have more fun with it now, but... bygones... At least the PC box still looks nice in my shelf.
It's a better version of RollerCoaster Tycoon, plain and simple. All of the familiar gameplay remains with so many new rides and thematic decorations, plus an entirely new mode where you can just build and experiment on rollercoasters. This is the kind of game you can lose hours to, and it's easy to get into whether you're a hard-core gamer or not!
uh oh this walking path is in the way of my rollercoaster
The best ever
this was one of the few games that would actually run on the win98 family computer and i have poured countless hours into it. thank you chris sawyer for creating some of the happiest moments for me with this game <3
The jumping fountains are great!
Guest 497 thinks Ferris Wheel 3 is a great value!
Like the original RCT, this game is phenomenal. I prefer the relatively simplicity of the first one however.
Perfection
still the best isometric park sim game.
