Roller Coaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack

It’s a legendary game that I never played as a kid. Unfortunately when saving the game it minimizes itself to bring up your files, then fails to reload the game you have to press it out the start menu. It works fine just with changed resolution... however if you load a game it does the same thing, then when you save it crashes so sadly the game is unplayable in its current state. I’ll probably try once in awhile and modify the review if a patch comes along.

I remember buying this game when it first came out. It was so much fun then, and it still is! There's nothing more satisfying than building a giant rollercoaster and watching the guests literally jumping for joy :) It builds on the themes of the original game and improves them in many ways, such as including different scenarios and themes for your park. The two expansion packs add a whole host of new rides, and at such a low price, it's a fantastic deal. I can't recommend this game enough!

So this is a review of the soundtrack which I bought along with the game! Don't get me wrong; RCT2 is a fine game which I played extensively in the past. But I didn't even install this copy. I bought the GOG copy specifically for the "clean" soundtrack album. The price is cheap for an album. If you're a fan of Allister Brimble's music, this is the only way to buy these tracks in a "music" format without having to carefully extract and rename game files. While his famous theme for the first Rollercoaster Tycoon is not here (only in the RCT Deluxe soundtrack), there are many Brimble tracks here which are not in RCT21; apart from the main theme it contains every track in the RCT album. For me, the soundtrack alone was worth the purchase.

Brings back all the childhood memories and OpenRCT2 makes it so much better. You can use modern screen sizes without being locked to 1024x768, create larger parks and do so much more.

Having played both RCT1 and RCT2 a lot, I found that the second installment works much smoother on Windows 7 than the first. RCT1 will sometimes crash, save games will become corrupted, etc. RCT2 works flawless, I can even use ALT+TAB and leave the game open while doing other stuff, it will even survive waking my computer from sleep mode. Finally a stable release of a great game. 5 stars!
