    The original Rollercoaster Tycoon was a huge 10/10, unfortunately, this is exactly the same game. The rides are exactly the same, the graphics are exactly the same, the interface is exactly the same... additions are limited to a couple of new rollercoaster types and a cash machine. It is hard to imagine that this could even justify a patch, let alone a whole new game. Take my advice and The original Rollercoaster Tycoon was a huge 10/10, unfortunately, this is exactly the same game.

You won?t be able to notice the difference and you?ll save a packet. Expand

  1. If this were a movie, it would be the same plot with perhaps an extra character or an added fifteen minutes thrown in.

    The scenario editor and coaster designer are nice, but don't expect an experience that looks or feels at all different from the first game because you won't find it here.

    Long story short, if you own the first RCT and its two expansions, then you already own about 80 percent of RCT 2. [Holiday 2002, p.97]
