They now have updated impressions of Rollercoaster Tycoon3 right here.
There's also a new developer interview right here.
If you got Gamespot Complete, I suggest downloading it & then watching it for the better quality on the video footage (104mb, but well worth the download! :)).
The game looks like it's progressing quite nicely.
-> There's no collision detection w/ the peeps, so the peeps walk thru one another when passing by.
-> You can ride coasters (of course) and looks like monorails too... so I'd be willing to bet you can also ride log flumes & other rail-type rides.
-> Any pictures your own personal peeps you create take while at the park, show up automatically in your "My Pictures" folder, which is a sweet enhancement.
-> The water effects look really solid right now.
-> The interface is VERY much like Sim City 4, which means that a sub-menu pops up on the right side after whatever icon you select on the left. This is definately a good thing.
-> The only flat I got a good look at there was the zipper, and the physics for seeing that in motion looked really nice thus far. It looks like the flats are recieving as much attention as the coasters.

I wonder if we can turn this off or limit this. I'm not sure I want 100 pictures in my "My Pictures" folder, which I got rid of anyway.
