I got this game as a gift for Christmas, and i enjoy it a lot! I have been a huge fan of the series since its inception. I own the first game and all it's expansions and I have the second, but I never got around to the expansions. But this, the third game, is very good. Now that the game is rendered in full 3d, it is a more immersive experience and its a lot of fun riding the coaster you've built. Also you can import all of your music and use it for individual rides. It's always fun having some hardcore metal playing on the carousel!:P Anywho, if your a fan of the series I highly recommend picking this one up, even if you have never played the series before, this would be a great one to start with.
