    Ok, this is no where near a perfect Rollercoaster Tycoon game. Thrillville or Planet Coaster are far more better, but guess what, those aren't on current consoles. This game is better than Rollercoaster Tycoon World that is for sure! I love sim building games and I couldn't wait for this to come out.

Thrillville or Planet Coaster are far more better, but guess what, those aren't on current consoles. This game is better than Rollercoaster Tycoon World that is for sure! I love sim building games and I couldn't wait for this to come out. I knew it probably wasn't going to be like RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, but it tries, I will give it that. One bad thing about this game is the lag. Once the park gets really big, the game lags and it is kind of annoying. I really hope they fix this, but they probably won't because this game almost didn't even happen for the Switch. The other bad thing is that you can't ride the rides like you could in other Rollercoaster Tycoon games. This really is a stripped down version of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. I still enjoy the game, don't get me wrong. I am happy that it is on the Switch and I have put a lot of time into it. I do recommend the game if you absolutely love sim building games. This and City Skylines is perfect for you!… Expand

    Instant nostalgia hit as I first came across this title searching for a new game to play during an airplane flight. Turns out, this fit the bill perfectly. The nostalgia came running back as I blew through the tutorial and started my first park adventure. However, after playing my first, and then my second, and into my third I'm realizing the game difficulty is lacking.

The nostalgia came running back as I blew through the tutorial and started my first park adventure. However, after playing my first, and then my second, and into my third I'm realizing the game difficulty is lacking. I felt as though I could leave the game running an hour at a time untouched and come back to find everything still running smoothly. With the occasional park-goer with a particular concern, there was much to leave up to imagination in terms of park maintenance. The creation mechanics and design features are as good as ever and fresh rides and of course coasters are always fun to explore. When the parks start to really grow and expand, the switch has a rough time rendering everything happening at once without some intense lag. This is especially the case once a few roller coasters have been added to the park.. essentially making me want to leave them out so things run smooth, but defeats the entire premise of coaster creation. All-in-all, it killed an otherwise boring evening and was fun to build and grow my (first) park, beyond this, the game doesn't have much in terms of longevity, even within park expansion, without hitting game performance or content walls.… Expand

    It looks good but is a very shallow experience. Flat rides are overturned to the point where building coasters is irrelevant. Hopefully the upcoming title upgrade fixes it.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures is a pretty big disappointment for me. As a fan of the series for most of my life, a portable, fully fledged, modern version of the game on a portable console is a dream, but that isn't what this is. This casual approach is too dumbed down for it to be fun for more than a few hours. With the rollercoaster building being so awful, it's difficult to recommend even for casual users, but it might work as something to distract from the drudgery of a bus ride.

    If you’re in the market for a game that does have relatively little structure, then that won’t do — though I’ll hasten to add that the game also includes a sandbox mode, where you can build to your heart’s content. But if, like me, you’re a more goal-oriented sort of player, then you’ll find that RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures offers a perfect blend of creativity and structure.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures brings to the Nintendo Switch one of the most iconic gaming series, originally developed for the PC and which has found its way into nearly every platform out there. While the main essence of the series is here to be found and developing theme parks is fun and engaging, this adaptation is mired by technical issues which should have been corrected and being based on the mobile version means the experience feels oversimplified, the Nintendo Switch deserved more than this.
