Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 Review Summary
Overall, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is an excellent and detailed simulation game. Fans of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series and simulation games will not be disappointed. The game is also a great choice for players who may not be as familiar with the series or genre. You control every aspect of your park in one of twenty-six unique and interesting scenarios. Work with real-life parks and rides or build custom parks and rides from scratch. A few minor issues pale in comparison to all that this game has to offer.

I want to be a ride designer when i grow up, and this is the coolest ride designer game on the planet! this could be just what i need! If you love rides, buy this game today!

This is a great game. I lost my RollerCoaster tycoon 2 so i’m asking for one at Christmas.
This is a great game because of designing.I know there is no sandbox mode but its still a great game. There is also Easliy motion sickness (the people do not enjoy this )(in the game). Even if there is no sandbox you can loan as much as you want (almost). You Can also create your own sandbox mode + start with like 100,000 :) I actually don’t wanna win but its fine anyways. I just wanna share how great this game is.I hope you like my review. Also it doesn’t matter if you don’t like this version try the next one or a different expansion.
Love this game.

I thought that this game was really good. I played the first game and loved it so this one was a lot of fun too!!!

This game has great detail, and really good graphics, in my opinion. I really liked this game because I like building things and I want to be an architect. So yesterday I googled “fun games to download” I needed some new material. I can’t buy any games because I’m only 12. So I just use the free downloads. This site came up, and I checked it out. I looked at the simulation games and this one caught my eye. At first I was really skeptical because from the picture and the reviews I read, it didn’t seem so good. But I figured that I would try it and see for myself. So I downloaded it and opened it. Once I figured out how to work the controls, it was an amazing game and I’m really glad I downloaded it. Now I want to buy it but I really need to win this. I know what you are thinking, this 12 year old just wants the 10 free full version games. I do want them, but I also want to share my opinion and be helpful to other players. I hope you consider this a good review!

This game is simple and fun for all ages! I recommend it to anyone who loves surprises and have an interest in having your imagination go free.
The graphics are amazing and this game is very addictive. Once played, you’re in love. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is worth the download and the money for the full version.
Some pros about this game are: it allows you to come up with your own ideas and you feel like you are in your own world where you are in control, the game gradually grows on you.
Some cons about this game are: How careful you have to be with the money, otherwise you can’t do anything. But, it can help you balance money and teach you in a way. This is based on what I thought but many do agree with me.
My experience with this game was I could not leave the computer. I played it after I got home from school each day in grade three, but my father threw the games away. It still hasn’t stopped my from finding that game four years later. See what I mean when I say “it grows on you”?
If you like this game, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, I think you would also like the games related to this game. Like, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Wacky Worlds, and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
I hope this helped you decide to buy this game or not. If you are not sure about buying the full-version right away, be sure to download the 60 minute free trial first. You won’t regret it.
