RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 by Atari - PC Video Game Review
Courtesy of Atari The roar of the
roller coaster, the smell of
hot dogs, the sugary buzz from eating cotton candy and the gross dude who hurls all over your kid brother after riding the big coaster - it's all part of a roller coaster theme park. Now, with
Atari's
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, you can run your own theme park and watch as peeps run around having fun, eating candy and getting sick! Here's a Kidzworld
review of this wicked-sounding
PC video game.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Theme Park Fun Stuff
Playing this
PC game is a lot like playing
Zoo Tycoon 2 - you get a chunk of cash and use it to build the
roller coaster theme park of your dreams. But, there are tons of extra options to muck with and fun things to do. You can add your own
mp3s to the game tunes, build your own park visitors called
peeps, ride the roller coaster yourself with the
CoasterCam, and even plan your own
fireworks display. In
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 there are missions where you have goals to achieve, or you can just play in
Sandbox Mode where you have
unlimited cash to build the park of your dreams.
Does This Game Make You Wanna Hurl?
Here's the part that'll make you cry.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is packed full of wicked options, cool graphics, fun modes, excellent stuff to play with and it's totally easy to learn. But,
it's buggy. It'll
crash in the middle of the game, sometimes
crashing your computer. There are even little
glitches that make playing it a bit awkward.
Is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Worth a Ride?
Not yet. It's a real shame cuz, if it weren't for the bugs, it would be a
5/5. But, until
Atari makes a patch you can download that'll fix the glitches, it's way too frustrating.
