I like what I've seen so far

As the topic title states, I am really impressed at what I've seen and played so far. I picked up the game this morning at GameSpot for just under 40 clams. (I have to gloat that I was the first to get it -a legal copy that is-here in my area as no other retailer is carrying it till tomorrow at least) The first thing I noticed is that the game runs a bazillion times better with the full release than the demos. (as expected) I am impressed with the amound flats in the game first off. It's neat to see your favorite flat rides in a 3-D computer game for the first time. I guess the greatest thing to me, and i'm sure allot of us, is that the sandbox mode has all rides and unlimited money. That is a total plus. Perhaps all the suggestions have worked.

On the downside, and it really isn't all that big a deal to be honest, I noticed that when I select music for a particular ride, it seems very faint. Maybe it's a setting in my computer, I dunno but it just seems hard to hear for some reason. Anyone else have that problem? I also had a glitch come up when I was running the fireworks tutorial. The game got to like step 16 and then wouldn't let me {continue} or {stop} I tried everything but nothing worked. The rest of the playing field was fine and running. Probably just a minor fluke on my pc.

So what do you all think about it so far?

I'm also glad the game runs "faster" but I'm aslo disapointed in many of the "flaws" of the game such as the scenery with the coaster not allowed...theres so much more to list...but i'm sure they'll be patches, fixes, and expansions. IF not, the developers have not done their job to meet the important gamers needs! :|

I picked it up today also. I only played it for an hour or so in sandbox mode. I'm very impressed with it. They have an awesome selection of rides and shops. I also turned up all the details to maximum and the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to try some of those cool rollercoaster crashes that I saw posted earlier. :)

Can I be the storm cloud in the sunny, happy thread?

For every thing I've found that I like, I've found four things I hate.

I'm still holding out hope that it's just because it's all new and I need to get used to it.

Seems to me like they took everything that sucked about the first two and simply ported that stuff to 3D, then took everything right with the game and changed or omitted it.

Bah!

After playing it for a while and finally getting used to that camera stuff, I get on the internet and find myself aiming the mouse down to the bottom of the screen to scroll downward and trying to use my scroll wheel to zoom in! Strange feeling for sure.
