Good Points

Very rewarding when you actually manage to clear all the hurdles of a level.


Bad Points

Very frustrating at times but otherwise there's not many.


General Comments

Rollercoaster Tycoon - To me the thought of building a theme park that once it gets going is semi-self-supporting seems incredibly simple, so, I was vaguely surprised when I found myself trying to complete the same simple level over and over again. If you own the game you probably know which one I mean, it's the desert one which has a rather boring name like Desert Dunes or something along those lines. As I said in my summary of bad points, I found myself getting highly frustrated when all the rides broke down at once, all the customers throw up at once and all the handymen and mechanics get lost at once, although this could just be an aspect of my short temper and short attention span. Other than that, I honestly can't think of any other negative points about this game. It is a highly addictive and vaguely rewarding game and maybe something to do when you're bored, ranked closely behind Scrabble and Connect 4 in the 'something to do when you're bored chart'. Despite all this, I would definitely recommend it to a close relation or family friend.
