More importantly, we also get pools and animal enclosures, allowing us to construct literally any type of amusement park imaginable. We get some new rollercoasters, like the multidimension coaster with freely rotating cars, new thrill rides, and new shops. Thankfully, the game’s also been updated with tons of new rides and features. Considering the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition (which features the original game and two expansion packs: Soaked! and Wild!) costs a whopping $30, about half the average amusement park ticket, it’s the closest most of us will get to riding rollercoasters on a daily basis. You can finally open up your rides and put yourself in the coaster seat. However, the 3D engine also allows for the game’s ride cam.

Since the game’s rendered in full 3D, you can look at your rides from any angle, though the camera can’t look up - it can only down or, at the most, horizontally. Still, it’s a welcome change from the isometric game engine from the first two titles. I know, I know, it finally caught up to games 15 years ago. Well, the first thing anyone realizes about RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is that it features a completely redesigned graphics engine which renders in 3D. Rides and attractions form the basis of any amusement park, but upkeep, finances, research, and other components of the game all play vital roles.

RCT3 is a surprisingly complex game, so any RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 guide should be comprehensive enough to cover all aspects of the game. It’s “for kids” the same way candy is “for kids” - adults might hide their desire better, but it’s there all the same. There are even reports of teams of players working together to finish amusement parks and bounce ideas off one another. It’s not uncommon to hear of a player working for two weeks on a single park to nail every detail. I’ve probably created hundreds of parks over the years, and I still find myself disappointed that somebody else thought of an awesome idea before me. If you don’t believe me, go try your hand at a few of your own, then check out some user-created parks on Youtube. Anyone can create a basic amusement park, but it’s a challenge to create the perfect one. I wasn’t kidding when I mentioned enjoying the game. RCT3 isn’t just for kids, even though it might be marketed towards them.

The soundtrack isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s full of distinct themes, some of them variations on real movie scores (for example, “Prairie Rider” is similar to the theme from The Magnificent Seven). While the game is starting to show its age at seven years, RCT3 is highly enjoyable, and its colorfully cartoonish game engine smooth over the outdated graphics. Certainly, anyone who enjoys amusement parks will love this sim. If you’ve ever played Starcraft and focused on designing the perfect base instead of beating the other team, or if architecture runs a thrill up your leg, this is the game for you. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is for gamers who genuinely enjoy creating things. More simply, there really is no concrete objective. I’m an adult now - I’ll do what I want, Mom. The best real life counterpart I can think of to the RollerCoaster Tycoon games is playing with legos, which I defend as a very mature thing to do for a fresh college graduate. It’s not an RPG where you try to save the world, nor does it make so much as an attempt at telling a story. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is an amusement park simulator, but some of my friends grow confused when I tried to explain to them the “point” of the game.
