Software Reviews and Criticism

  Learning Curve, But definitely fun! Also, bug?

  Like many others, i played this game as a kid and was a bit nervous about some of the reviews. I decided to get it and it is definitely as fun as I remember it being. The controls do take some getting used to, but I have had no problem rotating anything yet; however, I have come across a bug/problem. Whenever i try to build a path stemming from the entrance/exit of one of the biggest rollercoaster (the giga coasters) the game does not let me branch out from the entrance or the exits. Idk if its a glitch or something but I have no problems building paths from other rides/attractions, just the biggest rollercoasters. Its kinda frustrating because it definitely takes a lot of planning and time to have free space and money to finally build one of these monster coasters only to find out you cant build a path to or from it. Please help!!

  Just like the original pc game

  after reading the reviews i was very hesitant about purchasing this game because of computer issues- i used to play it years ago on an xbox and later on a pc until the disk got to where it wouldn’t work anymore. i downloaded this game and it’s exactly like i remember. Of course the graphics on it are not as great as some of the new games but it’s still fun. i have a PC with a Intel Iris graphics 6100 and i have not had any issues with the game loading, freezing, or playing.

  Doesn’t Work

  I used to love playing this game when I saw that it was on the app store, but ever since getting a new laptop, I found that it doesn’t work on the OX extended. I’m disappointed that it doesn’t work because it’s so fun, and I hope it gets fixed soon.

  Pretty fun!

  I used to play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 way back and recently had the urge to play again. I have only played through one scenario so far, and it’s been really fun. It’s definitely different from the older versions of the game, but once you figure out where all the menus and options are, it’s easy to navigate. I absolutely love this franchise of games and would recommend it to everyone. Also, this is the first time I’ve played an RCT game on a Windows, and I haven’t had any issues!

  I wish I never updated the game

  This used to be my favorite app on my 27” Windows. I used to play this game all the time and build parks. My Windows has a good processor and 16GB of ram. With the new update, everything changed in an instant. The newest update makes the fullscreen gameplay lag as if I had a cheap Windows with a cheap processor and little ram. If I keep the game quality settings very low which removes the scenery when zooming out, the lag goes away but there are still annoying lines that come and go when moving up and down. It almost makes the game unplayable. I might as well buy the CD and run it on a used PC laptop with Windows XP rather than deal with this new update. Unless I were to use a standard 12” monitor that was popular when the game was released back in 2004 or run the app on a Pc, running RollerCoasert Tycoon 3 fullscreen mode on a big 27” monitor is way too much for my eyes. That is why I always ran the app in window mode. Things were fine using window mode and there was no lag. I could even record my gameplay. With the new update, window mode is gone! I cannot play the game in fullscreen with my large display, I need the window mode back! I am not buying a small monitor just for one app, so I have to give it two stars. Think about those with large displays before getting rid of the “window mode” in settings!
