Way back when, when this game first came out for it's price of $60, I always wanted it. I could never get it at the time, and I am glad I did'nt waste my money on it. Now, I get a free copy out of a box of Reese Puffs. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is basically RollerCoaster Tycoon, except with a lot more rides to choose from. In the game, you have a choice to either do a scenario, in which you have to get a certain amount of people in your park or make a certain amount of money through a period of years, or you can choose to make your own Six Flags branded theme park. Customers come flowing in the moment you open your park, so don't open it before you make any rides. When you are building the park, you start off with $10,000 dollars to spend on whatever you want. You can build roller coasters, food stands, walkways, water, and different rides and scenery for your park. Once you have run out of money, it usually is a good time to open it. People then come into your park, and start paying their precious money for food, drinks, and ride admissions. You can customize the colour of your rides, the price people pay to go on the rides and to buy food, and you can also have people pay to get into your park. But this game is not all about making the coolest park in the world, you also have to learn how to spend your money. True, if you run out, you can take out a loan from the bank, but you have to pay it back later. You'll need money to hire staff, to pay your researchers to come up with new rides, and to spend on buying scenery and rides for your park. So in conclusion, while this game CAN be a lot of fun, if you have played the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, you know what to expect. This game is for newcomers to the series ONLY.
