The game is charming, albeit too easy to be of any challenge.
This games wakes up the little child in you - to build a roller-coaster, the way you like, you can also ride it and ask the costumers about their experience.
I have found this game way too easy - i just built little rides at the beginning of each stage, put on some stands, repaid my loan ASAP and that's it. Rarely i needed to look in the financial to take a decision.
The VIP visitors are very forgiving , and if you don't put up a satisfying park , they'll come back very soon, and you won't be punished in any other way.
I have managed to get to be a tycoon in each park in about 45 minutes, and since I don't think I'm the best tycoon player, I guess this game is just too easy...
...But still , it has a charm that draws you back for trying another level.
The gameplay is pretty convenient, and so are the cameras.
The graphics is very detailed once you zoom in, and it is stunning (check out the rides or the water reflections and the newly added fireworks show - absolutely believable).
The sound is a bit lacking. When you move around your park from high above, you will hear no music nor crowd. The upside - you can add your own music to the game.
What was the most annoying thing to me was the bugs of the game. The most irritating one was that i installed Soaked !, and the computer just got stuck every time i tried to run it. Then i installed RCT3 again, but the game just didn't work. Too bad, since I had to give up Soaked !
To sum this up : If your looking for a true tycoon game, go play Capitalism 2.
If you enjoy building rides in a Sandbox mode, you'll find some interest in this game for a while.
