Advantages: All three RCT3 games in one go - by far the cheapest way to get it

Disadvantages: Building rollercoasters takes a bit of learning

This is the last installment of the popular rollercoaster tycoon series, and it is by far the best; the big difference being that the game is now in 3D and you can 'ride' your new creations. This edition includes one of the two expansion packs for the game; 'soaked' which adds the capacity to build pool complexes and waterslides. Also available is 'wild' which introduces animal parks. If you think you might want this add on in the future it is better to buy the 'deluxe' version which has both. They also both introduce new rollercoasters and flat rides for you to place in your parks. I have both and they do add considerably to the game play.

The game itself finishes what Theme Park started all those moons ago. It is a 'sim' type game where you build a park, often from scratch but sometimes from a barebones park, and hit targets for each scenario usually by making money, attracting visitors, increasing the park's rating or by having certain rollercoasters. To a certain extent you either like this kind of game or loathe it; I love them!

It is a good value, fun game with all kinds of extra features such as adding your own music to a ride or creating your own 'guest's to visit the park.

Summary: Can you tell that I love it?
