RCT3 Platinum combines the excitement and roller coaster, theme park fun of the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 with included expansion packs Soaked! and Wild! Now enjoy more options than ever. Build your own water slide or create your own safari with real animals. Watch guest reactions to your ultimate theme park!
The one thing this series desperately needed was a facelift. Not only for the pure fun of seeing these coasters and theme parks in full 3D, but for the functionality of being able to see your park from all sides. Of course, the fun part is what’s most noticeable to shallow people like me. Colors are bright, coasters look fantastic, and the peeps, for how low detail they are, look great and have good personality regardless of their poly count. More impressive is the sheer amount of peeps that can visit your park at the same time. Thousands of the little buggers can run around and have fun. With the variety of shapes and clothes for them to wear, it make the park come alive.

Customer Review
I loved Rollercoaster Tycoon, and RCT2. I was skeptical about the change to 3D and thought the “Ride Your Ride” tool was pretty lame. However, this game does not disapoint. There are a TON of new features added, the graphics are very appealing, and the Platinum Edition is very worthwhile. I only have two complaints with this game. First of all, the interface is clunky. Once you get used to it, it’s not bad, but it does not flow as smoothly or intuatively as the previous RCT games. Second, the scenarios are too easy. Getting Tycoon on most of the levels is barely challenging and, after doing about half the scenarios, I find that the biggest challenge is having the patience to wait for enough money to build rollercoasters. They added time compression though, so you don’t have to wait as long as you did in the older games. The “Ride the Rides” feature turned out to be very fun, it used to be satisfying to create a ride with Excitement of 8 or higher. It is so much more satisfying to see what the guests see on that ride. Overall, a worthwhile game, but not perfect.
