Rate RCT3 out of ten.

To argue with the IGN review of 8.5 thought we could all rate it out of ten and see what we come up with. Please pay particular attention to the fact thats it's ROLLERCOASTER tycoon and the rollercoasters don't work properly.

No spam please, simple rates will be fine, use Jeff and Gonchs threads for whinging :)

3.5/10 for me

Why so low?

I think it's a pretty good game, there are some bugs which are a pain, but my main problem is having it run smoothly. It's very detailed and the gameplay for the most part is good.

I mean we got most of the stuff we wanted, we got are rocket coaster, well limited rocket coaster, as well as a ton of flats. Over all I think it was a good game. I'd give it 8.5/10 too, mainly taking off for the bugs and it's stability.

Yeah, I was really suprised with this game VS the demo. The game worked at least 10x better, and it has all of the charm that a RCT game should have (VIPeeps, anyone?) Yes, sometimes it does run slow on my computer (only at times), but my computer is three years old, and the graphics card is probably worn out. But, I love it! 8.5/10

I love the music they put in the game, espically "Summer Air."

Before jumping & giving it such a lot 3.5 rating.... why not give us a SPECIFIC explanation as to WHY you rate it so low? You can't just give it a abmisal rating & not back it up... same way by giving it a 9.5... tell us why.

Did you honestly spend at least 6 to 10 hours of play time to give it a real rating? Can you look beyond the few bugs which although quite numerous, shouldn't really hamper gameplay TOO much. I can't give it a rating since I only played the 60min full version just to give it a whirl... but early indications put it around the 7 point marker... taking off points for the initial bugs, and a few missing or wrong real-world counterpart things... but on the overall, it wouldn't really deterr me from not wanting to play it.

I'd give a real rating once I get my hands on a copy & play-test it thourally.

I would of rated it a 5. It's incomplete, look at the hudnreds of bugs and glitches already reported on this site and the official forums. Atari should be ashamed of themselves for coming out with such a low quality product. Regardless if the game was available now, March of next year or even a year from now, it would have sold jsut as well if it was a complete game, not a buggy, untested mess. I don't like incomplete games, I was burned by Atari before, and thankfully waited for reviews before being conned again. I've already played a bit on a friends computer who bought it, and I was annoyed 15 minutes into it when the game crashed for no reason.

Once a patch is released, and is verified many of the biggest bugs and crashes are fixed, then my opinion may change. Until then, I don't reccomend the game to anyone just yet.

lol, I did specify no spam and ratings only, there are other threads explaining what is wrong with the game I don't need to say why in this thread.

aaah, surely that makes up for the fact that the coasters don't work properly.

The game isn't' nearly finished, if you think that the game as it satnds deserves an 8 or higher you are very strange.

It's the Tetris vs Rise of the Robots debate again. If anyone remmebers what i'm on about.

Rate it out of 10? Assuming 10 is perfect, 0 is worthless and 5 is average - I'd say Ross isn't far off.

Why?

Because

Because

and

Because

The game is nearly unplayable at this point.

If we get most of those bugs worked out - this will be one of the coolest, funnest, most time stealing games there is.

Until then, it's a joke. With the game the way it is, the release date should've been April 1st.

Overall, I agree its a good game, but I give it a 6, first of all it is very disappointing for a "profesional company" to release such a bugged and flawed game. All bugs and flaws are listed in the forums. Yet, even though the game has flaws and bugs I'm still buying it and patching it, I can't turn down RCT, RCT2, or RCT3. Look at all the limits of rct2, surely you knew the game would have flaws.

With it being released the way it is, I'll give it a 3, with alot of potential to be a 9 or 10.

The reason I'm not rating it a 5 is because 5 is average. Average, in this case, should mean a game that is finished, moderately fun to play, and average means everything should be atleast as good as what is getting rated a 5. Nothing should be released like this, so it gets no 5 from me.

It gets a 3 because it has a coaster designer(the only feature I've used thus far...), and because it looks pretty. If it had more coasters and more coaster options (regular hills on a TA2K...), it would have been a 4, but never a 5.

If a patch comes out that makes it all work the way it should, and add all the stuff removed from RCT1/RCT2, while giving us all the things promised (like 2D mode!), I'll give it maybe a 5. If they add more than 4 new coaster types on a game called ROLLER COASTER TYCOON, as well as more coaster elements on all coasters, I'll rate it appropriatly. Until the game is finished and plays the way it should, I'm not going to be happy

Agreed. Even a 3 is pushing it. I feel a little ripped off. The game never should have been released to manufacturing in its current state.

Well, I guess I'm one of those people that are very easily impressed. I like the game alot aside from the occasional bug. I agree that it could be a lot more since it isn't a complete game but for some reason I'm kinda happy with it. Now keep in mind I'm not a big gamer. About as in depth as I get is RCT 1 or 2 for a couple of hours then I'll leave it alone for days or even weeks. I've been away from my pc for about 2 days and when I got back today it wasn't the first thing I did with my free time. (Sorry bout the rant, just had to explain my gaming expertise)

If I had to rate the game I'd give it an 8. Just because it has all the things we've been crabbin' about for so long. Yeah some of them don't work right we know. I'm willing to bet that Atari will put out some kind of patch for it to help out some of the more serious problems. But then again, what do I know? I've got bigger things to worry about in my life than whether this game locks up or slows its frame rate down. (I'm not knocking anybody that plays the game allot, so please don't take that last statement that way!)
