All right my short review of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 ! [:D]

I must say I was really disappointed by the bugged demo. I have now the final release.

First of all, this release is clearly improved. Far less bugs happily, enhanced graphics, a visual sensation.

Another fear I had was about the control view. In the demo I was feeling ill after 5 minutes playing. But now, with the free camera move, it's just like NL, cool.

The interface is still annoying, it's quite simple to use (which is a great point as you can control about every sttings), but it's not intuitive at all. Not a big deal anyway when you get used.

This game can really be considered as a RCT2 in full 3D.
It means that if you enjoyed URDC, RCT2, you will definitly love it.

All those from you who love Nolimits, and secretly dream of becoming a Vekoma God, you also could be surprised. This a game, not a simulator, but sensations are really surprising in the coasters. Of course they are not realistic nor smooth, but speed sensations are great.

This game is fun, I don't really know if the interest will resist time attack, but by now it should be a delight for our coaster community.

I am really glad my friend Oui Wui offered the game a new section, fully deserved, GG !!! [;)]

the full release is a whole improvement then the demo. But shamely rct3 doesn't have many scenery. I think it need more! Also if you install beta update 1a following some people it fixes alot of bugs. I had found also some bugs but they are going to fix it.[:)] I enjoy the game and you can create pretty realistic rides. I should say, Buy it![:)] Only ?????????49.99 here[;)]

What is really missing is a "peep" view... and real tunnels. ;)

No, there's a technique for tunnels. Looks great, if only I had the game, I could try this. http://groups.msn.com/CoastaCabana/rct3tunnels.msnw

^BTW, that's not the ugly way of using roofs for underground tunnels, that's a way that makes it look like a real tunnel.

Well, yeah, except for the missing features from there.

If you consider the tunnel technique "real". Oh well, at least it looks real.

For peep view, he probably means viewing the park from your perspective-as if you were a guest. This was what made HR really fun IMO.

I enjoy the game and you can create pretty realistic rides.


Good thing oyu didn't say realistic coasters, otherwise, I'd be in a strange mood now.
