It will be interesting to see if a Mac can run RCT 3 better than a PC.

Finally ... A year later, oh well better than nothing. I don't know if it can run it better, is that possible for software? I am guessing that because it's native to PC's that it will run better on PC's. Either way, cool. Now I would like a release date :P

Well, I think that how well they run really depends on how much memory you have and how fast your graphics card is. Of course since the games are written for different processors its not really comparing apples to apples, if you know what I mean.

In leafing through an issue of Macworld, I found out that RCT3 for Mac should be coming out sometime in November. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

It probably won't get the expansions because a lot games that have migrated from PC to Mac haven't gotten them. But since this game is being made by Aspyr, who has also brought Medal of Honor and all its expansions to Mac, there might be.

easire to build...way crappier graphix...more unrealistic,,,more coaster and ride choices...bigger maps...thats fromt he rct3 standpoint but Nolimits is the way to build the ride of your dreams...cause with one ride at a time-theres no limits
