    With over 90 levels of park building fun, tons of rides (building rollercoasters is fun), and thousands of little things to do, Rollercoaster Tycoon is a must have title for any sim lover... or any game lover!!
  2. This is a very deep simulation and it’s this kind of detail that makes it so addictive, showing up other wannabes like "Jurassic Park: Project Genesis."

    this game is fun and addicting but the graphics are adequate. the rollercoasters lack options and the guests are identified by numbers.

It's an exact port of the pc original but with console (no mouse) controls - it works well. I haven't been this addicted to an xbox game in a really long time. Full Review »
