Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 officially released

i got it at Circuit city as soon as i left school... the one thing I don't like about it is in the track editor you can't save an unfinished track
i haven't played it much but it looks great

Mine came today! I messed around with it a little before I had to leave for my class and I think its awesome. I love the fact that I can now create my coasters without the park's financial factors. The only thing I wish could have been changed is some of the design aspects. I would like to be able to twist the tracks the way I want to, making real coasters look and feel more the way they do in real life. But this will do, great additions for sure.

The only complaint I have about the game is that you have to load everything. Whenever you click on a scenario, or any other feature (well except scenario editor), it pops into a loading screen. It puts a small damper on it. But after a while, I probably won't mind nearly as much. But besides that, it is a great improvement over RCT, and there is sooo much more you can do in RCT 2.

Welcome one and all, y'all come have a ball!
Things a bear-y fine, ridin' on the old Knott's bear-y line!

I just got my today from Amazon. So far I like the improvements, especially the block systems. If only there were some more flats, then the game would be near perfect.

-----------------
84 coasters and counting

I had my copy since saturday I was every mad when I saw it for $19.99 + tax which is 5% that equals $21.99 and
I paid $29.99 +tax which is 5% that equals $31.49
I love the game at got mine Electronics Boutique in Marlborough Ma. *** This post was edited by delta on 10/16/2002. ***

.. that's why you don't pre-order things on the net. Generally you can find them on release date for cheaper and sometimes even before release.

Those places make thier $$ by hiking prices with the promise you'll recieve it soon as they do. Well, as you guys have found out.. A little leg work will get it not only cheaper, but also before most of these places.

Software isn't the only thing, I tend to get alot of my DVD's before pre-ordered peopel get thiers shipped.

-----------------

Yes! I hate the loading! It takes forever. When I tell my parents I'm doing homework and they come around the corner, I don't have time to X it out anymore.

-----------------

Trying not to sound like a parent...finish your homework first. There will be plenty of time to play later.

Sorry,

But there isn't a computer on the planet that could render (in real time) over 5000 guests and a hundred plus rides .. Without it looking and playing like garbage.

Some people are too young to remember loading games like King's Quest from floppies...

I did not pre-order it I bought it in store

Did anyone notice in the booklet that comes with the game that Chang is said to be "the world's longest, tallest, and fastest stand-up coaster." ? I was surprised to see that since I would have thought the facts would have come from Six Flags marketing. Guess they forgot about Riddler! LOL!

Sig under construction - big announcement coming soon!

Yeah I saw that too, and yes, I'm just about to do my homework. :-)

-----------------

Mamoosh-

Wasn't that because they couldn't get the licensing for all the comic book heroes? Such as why Superman, Batman etc. were all left out..
-------------
TOGO!
Vekoma!

I would think so. If they really wanted to get Superman and Batman they would no matter what the price of getting the copyright.

OMG! I didn't know that! I know I'm just about to make a stupid comment, but THAT'S why all Batman type rides are not in the game!

Oh God.

(It's been a slow week.) :-)

My brother has the whole King's Quest Series. He had this obsession about beating them all with all three character types...

-----------------
LocoBazooka--Sevendust, Nonpoint, Stereo Vent, Mushroomhead
Korn Tour (With no name)--Korn, Puddle of Mudd, Deadsy

PT300 - makes sense. To be honest I haven't gotten far enough in the game to notice if the Superhero-themed coasters are in the scenarios, and frankly I have intention of playing them. I got my scenario editor, I've made my flatland park with a goal of 500 guests, and I have all the rides, stands, and theme elements I want. I'm a happy camper.

King's Quest rules. I still have nightmares about Hagatha.

I guess from what I am reading the reception RCT2 is marginal. When people are talking about the price they got it for, instead of the new/great features it offers, I guess I am not missing that much.

I can't get mine to install/load. Any help would be appreciated!
