I bought this game for my XBOX, because I really like the game. I played the pc version for quite some time, and really like the game. The scenarios are creative, and some are challenging. You never know what the terrain is going to be like, or if you can, or can't remove trees. Also, the new magnifying glass zoom feature helps with construction when you can't read ride names, or height marks. However, I wish the game had a sandbox mode like RCT3 does, and the annoying red, "Can't do this" errors are very annoying. The controls take some getting used to. Since there is no auto pan, like there is in the PC version, you have to move the right analog stick to pan. Also it is hard to raise and lower land due to the slippery Left Analog Stick. It's also hard to chose what you want to build, because you have to hold the B button and point the left analog stick in the direction that corresponds to what you want to build. To hire staff or make changes you have to do the same thing, but hold the Y button which gets confusing for beginners. The product is exactly like RCT Deluxe for the pc, except the controls are different, and the magnifying zoom feature. Overall The game is good, but the controls could be betterRead full review
Roller Coaster Tycoon, in all of its incarnations, is one of my favorite games to play. Having it for the XBox makes it great because I can play on a much larger screen in my relaxing chair! While reading the manual is helpful, it is just a matter of a little time and patience to get the hang of the control layout. Once this is accomplished, there really isn't much limit on what you can do with the game scenarios. A fair warning though... This game can be highly addictive, causing a loss of a sense of how long one has been playing! Easily, this is a game well suited for bad weather entertainment, as it will keep you occupied for quite the while!
Be prepared to let time fly by!! This is one of those all consuming, totally encompassing (what's that... OH YEAH, I forgot I own a dog!!) type games. Turn this on and be whisked away to your first park! This park is full of open land with a gate and a dirt path... So we'll add a merry-go-round... and a soda shop... then a bathroom (of course)... oh, how about a clown... let's do some ride research and make a coaster... OOPS, I'm out of money... let's increase the ticket price at the front gate and fire the clown... Ah yes, that did it, NOW LET"S BUILD THIS COASTER AND REALLY WATCH THE MONEY FLOW IN!!!! Next thing you know it's 4 in the morning and you're tearing things down just to squeeze in one more ride! Tons of base parks, deadlined goals to achieve and countless rides, attractions and upgrades to be explored. The graphics are simple yet vibrant, the levels are increasingly difficult (so you must stay attentive) and the overall gameplay is very rewarding. RollerCoaster Tycoon gets a perfect score from me. This is game adiction at its purest. There are just SO many things to do, tweak and create (even down to the color and theme of your attractions) that you will spend endless hours with this good time classic. So call your loved ones, do your home work or give the dog a double serving of food then slip into creative bliss and let the good times Roll...erCoaster Tycoon!Read full review
The game is fun, the graphics are not the best, but it is an old system
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I used to play this game as a kid and loved how i could manage my own little park. I don't know if anyone else had love to feel that power but it was fun as hell. well i wanted to start playing the game again but unfortunately couldn't because of the xbox 360 not being compatiabile with "this" xbox game. A certain amount of games are compatiable with the xbox 360 console. roller coaster tycoon was not one of them.
