What our customer's say!

"Tycoon 3 Rollercoaster", Once again they have done it, Great game , many hours of fun, keeps the children busy and intrested for haours on end.

"Aside from some lagging a fun and charming title!", I am a fan of the RC series from its inception, back in my high school days, with Chris Taylor eye-bleeding Roller Coaster Tycoon (those 2d textures really killed your sight). The newest (and possibly final, pending legal resolution) entry has now been packaged together with its two expansion packs - Soaked and Wild, into one pre-patched Platinum edition. The cost of the pack is commiserate with buying all three together (if you can even FIND a copy of RCT3) so the value is pretty high here.

The game itself is tons of fun, giving the player free reign to build the theme park of their dreams. Although a novelty, which is ultimately rarely used, it is rather neat that you can actually ride many of your rides from a first person perspective (this works especially well with Roller Coasters). Placement of rides, decoration, types of shops, research budget, ride prices, all are under the player's control - making it a micromanager's dream (you can even control the color of the ride and the color of the ride's queue).

My only two concerns are some technical problems and a general lack of challenge to the game's campaigns. It is very easy to reach gold tycoon in all of the campaign levels, although really this isn't much the point. The game is far more to play as a "sandbox" game. I had some lagging when attempting to place rides and decoration, and while playable, it is slightly annoying. Some users, with less up-to-date rigs have reported lots of lagging when their park sizes and guest numbers go to high, so make sure you have a bit higher than recommended specs here.

"Good for all ages!", This game is great for all ages. The controls area little hard to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of it, they are really easy to use. It is really exciting to get to ride your own coasters, and having the new "autocomplete" is great when you can't finish the coaster yourself, or if you get impatient. My 10 year old loves it as well.

"Fun game but with some flaws...", I have this game for about 2 weeks, and in the first round of playing the game, I found one important flaw. There is no undo button! It's annoying and frustrating to keep deleting the errors I make with going back and forth the trash can to delete sections of the coasters. I end up deleting the entire coaster and starting over.

On a positive note, the game does have some great graphics and it's really kewl that you can ride the coasters after you create them. I'm not a roller coaster person, or even a ride person persay, but this game is great - it's very addicting. Overall, this game is entertaining and a good buy.

"A little too easy, but very fun.", I am 13 & an writing this on my mom's account. I have owned this for a little more then a year.

I have owned all the Rollercoaster Tycoon games, & I have enjoyed each of them. For those who liked the original camera angle, there is a isometric setting.

With an old (by electronic standards) computer you can't see features like reflective water, but with a newer one it looks great. I have a 2 GHZ processor, 2 GB of ram & 256 MB graphics card & can run it at full detail settings & get great frame rates.

I have noticed 3 problems however, when a crashing roller coaster hits a wall, it just bounces off! Also the guests can still walk through each other & when simulating wind, the whole trees sway; not just the leaves! The games also a little too easy, & parks are earned without a major effort.

But the "ride the rides" feature is great! Now I can show my older brother why his custom roller coasters are "guranteed to make you puke"!

"Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a Blast", I'm a big fan of RCT2 and was dubious that RCT3 would hold up, given the major refactoring into full 3-D. Granted I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but my kids (ages 13, 11, 8) have been on it for a couple of weeks and rant and rave about what an awesome game it is.

"Great Game", I have not been playing this game long. I received it as a gift for my Birthday a few weeks ago and have been playing ever since. This is a great game. The Platinum edition is a great deal. However, I do not think I would have paid the money for all 3 games seperately -- I am disappointed that there is no undo button like in the first Rollercoaster Tycoon game because I ended up using it a lot. The load time is forever and my computer moves slowly sometimes (usually when I am trying to put in a Rollercoaster). I don't understand because my computer meets all the requirements for the game? Oh Well... overall I like this game.

"Best RCT yet... if you have a high end computer.", By far the best, most realistic Roller coaster tycoon yet.

I love the RCT games and bought RCT3 when it first came out a few years ago. It is much more realistic that previous RCT games and allows you much more flexibility in customizing and has more rides, more coasters, and more landscape options than the previous versions.

This game REQUIRES a very fast computer, a good graphics card, and lots of memory. It was unplayable on my old computer... long load times, long pauses, poor frame rates, etc. and I didn't play it for several months out of frustration (at the time I would have rated this game a 1). I bought a new computer last year and since then the only problem I have had is there is still about a 15-20 second load time when I select rollercoasters. I would rate this a 5.

"flashy but clunky", For all the added 3d effects and flashy look, I found this game very frustrating with no "undo" feature. Also, what happened to using the right button to get out of what you are building or what ever? With this game, you have to go back and press the same button again to get out of a mode. The pools are impossible to build, I found that the ramp to the pool complex I was building could never quite reach the ground and the lengths of ramp sections were not adjustable in length to fix the problem. Very frustrating. Also, I am tired of the "grid". Why can't we put things where we want? I also gave up on building water rides. Tycoon 2 was more enjoyable.

"Desperately Flawed, Zero Support From Atari", I've played all of the RCT games way back to RCT1. I absolutely was amazed at Rollercoaster 3 when it first came out. Because my PC was new and had a gamer's video card, along with a good sound card, I had no problems with it whatsoever. It was unbelievably cool. I had a ball with it.

Soaked came along, more rides, more coasters, the pools were a hoot to make. One little problem. When placing a food concession, the game would freeze, for oh, about 45 - 60 seconds. Odd, placing restrooms, ATMs and first aid buildings caused no freeze. It was annoying, but I put up with it. I wrote to Atari. I got a form letter that had nothing to do with what I described. Whatever.

Enter WILD. Even cooler rides, coasters that were still on drawing boards were introduced, plus animals. They added a new "LIVE" feature, you could use your own pictures on signs, at concession stands..well I never got to use it, so I don't know what it was all about. Somehow this game + the addition of "LIVE Content" sunk the proverbial ship. Who cared if your own photographs were spinning around on tiny signs. Ridiculous.

At this point when I tried to place a food stand down for my starving peeps, the game would freeze as usual. I yawned..picked up the paper. Then I realized it was REALLY taking a long time. I got up, had dinner, came back - it hadn't budged. Turns out it was stuck for good. It locked up my computer completely.

There was no other way to get the game to close except cold booting my computer, which I wasn't fond of because the PC was nearly brand new. I tried about 4-5 more times, I turned off the "LIVE" content in the options. I turned off everything on my PC that could possibly clash with it. Still the same thing.

How ironic, I thought that this game is so complicated with all of the wonderful detailing. Every flat rided you could think of and some I'd never seen worked without a hitch. Scenery, an unprecented amount of coasters, tunnels, beautiful waterfalls - it was just a treat. To top it off - you could ride your own coasters without a glitch.

But what brings it to a dead stop? A french fry stand that just sits there and does nothing. I wrote to Atari again, I got another blow-off form letter. I responded that the letter I received had zero to do with my problem which I painstakingly described in detail in my email to them. When I got no response back, I thought I would call, but OH, no more phone lines. It's not fun to listen to people like me, I suppose who ask very hard questions.

So I open up another support ticket, copy everything I wrote in the first one, added NOT to send me a form letter and to please forward it to a level 2 tech support person or anyone who could give me some kind of answer. I figured, it HAD to be one little thing that needed to be changed. I scoured the user groups on Google and Yahoo - seemingly infinite amounts of complaints concerning the game locking up. But nothing quite like mine.

So, what do I receive back from Atari? No reply whatsoever. I go back and look at the status of my second work ticket. It's status was -closed-. They did nothing I guess because there was no form letter that fit, so it is really easy to just close out the support ticket and blow me off completely. Quality customer service it was not. Thanks a lot, Atari.

In all fairness, you may not have any trouble at all. To reiterate, the coasters and rides added by the two expansion packs are mind blowing, but if the game locks up on you, don't be one bit surprised, and don't even bother emailing Atari. You'd be wasting your time. They are more than complacent after they've gotten your money.
