Old, but still the most recent

First off: I had played 1 & 2 before this game came out and I enjoyed both of them quite a bit. I will acknowledge that this one somehow is missing some bit of magic that the others had. That said, it's still an amazing game. It is a lot of fun and offers more variety than either of its predecessors. More importantly, it has yet to be surpassed by a followup because there hasn't been one. If you are interested in building a theme park and roller coasters, this is still the most recent option, and so I have to give it a nod. Even if you enjoy 1 & 2, heck, especially if you enjoy 1 & 2, this game is worth getting as it is a solid game in its own right.

Good but far from perfect.

GoG has done a pretty good job of summing up the good things about this game, so i'll focus on the not so good. 1: it doesn't seem like they ever properly tested the two expansion packs together. Placing pool paths over an animal enclosure would result in guests falling through the pool paths into the enclosure! 2: While the new "smooth ground" looked good it made building and connecting up paths a bit of a pain. since ground level paths could be at any of a huge number of levels while raised paths were limited to discrete units of level. 3: collision detection was buggy, sometimes you could build a combination of placements in one order but not in another. 4: As parks got big the game ran into performance problems. This was especially true if you used certain ride types a lot (aqua blaster slides were a major offender, they were the easiest way to get high ratings on a pool ride but they were also very heavy on the engine) 5: If an area gets too busy guests could get into a horrible tangle that was a major PITA to recover from (removing stuff and flattening ground was the only way I found) 6: if you tried to load any of the supplied audio tracks for mixmaster it would say they were in a format that could not be properly synchronised. Don't get me wrong, the game was great and I got many many hours of fun out of it but it always felt like it could have been so much better.

Milk that visitor for her last dollar

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum has decent audio (the thrilled screams of children on the rides, the cha-ching of purchased food and gifts) and pleasant 3D visuals that become a bit ew when zoomed in too far. The sound gets repetitive and the graphics are nothing to write home over, but it's difficult to keep the audio consistently fresh when dealing with a game that has basically the same set environment for the player to engage with over the course of thirty to several hundred hours. Also, it's easy to tell what's what and who's who when visually panning over any given park, so the graphics are certainly doing their job (just try turning on Majesty 2 and comparing its 3D “upgrade” to that of the original Majesty and you'll see how this particular endeavor can go very wrong). That said, the meat of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum is the gameplay, and for tycoon fans, the measure of success in that area is whether or not you still enjoy milking visitors for their dollars after dozens of hours of designing, selecting, rotating, and building. For me, it's a huge success. This is the type of game that I will play for hours and then come back to, even years later. It caters to both the micromanagement-heavy players and those that just want to sit back and rake in some cash without going to a lot of trouble (but who still want to build a beautiful and functionally rewarding park). What's the low point? There is at least one game-breaking financial factor that can ensure you endless money and which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's a single feature that you can avoid building in order to keep your game balanced and any veteran of this game knows exactly what I'm talking about. Also, the missions can slog on a bit and the terrain can get unnecessarily frustrating when trying to build a good coaster. Often you won't know why a certain section can't fit somewhere and you might spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get around or over or under a certain spot. That said, buy this game. Every title has its rough spots and the rough spots here are small in comparison to how fun this game is overall. Enjoy it. Love it. Play it with your family. This is definitely a game to be shared.

Great game

I see all the negative comments and they're almost all about the price. I agree, $20 for an old game is pricey. That being said, I got it for 50% off so it only cost me $9.99 and for the number of hours I spent playing, it is definitely worth it. Are those people complaining the same paying $70 for their latest Xbox game that won't be half as fun as this one? I'm running this under Windows 8 and so far it has never frozen, I see very little bugs (for example the pictures folder is Windows XP-style so it will not find your new pictures folder because it's not the same name), and it's of course very fast even on an old computer. I'm glad I bought it. Wait for another 50% off sale if you cannot afford the extra $10.
