This is a short summary because I don't want to give it away. This game is great. Like all rolercoaster tycoon games, I rate this five stars. It has has new parks, new rids, new scenarios. It's awesome. Some reviewers say this is bad but in my opinion this game is cool! I HIGHLY recommend it.

well i am a big fan of the roller coaster tycoon games, and my opinion of this expansion is, it could have been better.Some of the new stuff in here i think is really cool,but they didnt add very many new rides at all.There is so much more that could be done with a great game like this and i hope they do it someday.
I guess if you are a very big fan you may like this for some new stuff,but like i said they could have done way better with it.

Atari's Expansion looks like they'll copy off EA's The Sims

I have to admit that when I played the original Roller Coaster Tycoon I was impressed. I was happy with the expansions added to that game too. Each expansion added new rides and scenery and lots of new scenerios. It was quite fun to play.

However, I have not been impressed by RCT2. It's a rework of the original with very little new content and too many things changed or removed. This Time Twister Expansion Pack, being released months after the Wacky World Expansion Pack, should say one thing to everyone out there: Atari is attempting to create add on packs in a similar fashion as what EA did with The Sims. However, the expansions for RCT2 add much less in content. All they do is take the same old rides and create new ride vehicles. That does not justify a whole brand new ride! It's the same thing just reworked. Yes, a lot of scenery is added too. But there's no significant change in gameplay! You're still building the same parks with the same old rides. They just have the option of looking different now. It's much like how you could download new buildings for Sim City 2000 or 3000. EA never charged anyone for that because it's not changing gameplay--it's just making things look nicer, if you want. Does Atari think it's special or something so that it can charge money?

I used to be a huge RCT fan. Currently, I'm disgusted. I would not pay more than $... for any of these RCT2 expansions if I were to ever get them. At present, I will not buy any expansion to RCT2. Companies have got to learn that you can't slap together a few little visual enhancements, put them in a box, and sell them. I'm extremely dissapointed.

I have rollercoaster tycoon 2. When i saw this game come out i was suprised at all the different rides they had. If you liked the other rollercoaster tycoon games this is the game for you.

Lame-Oh! Atari what have you done!

Chris Sawyer would roll over in his grave (if he was dead) if he even cared what Atari has done to his incredible RCT game. Every add-on and expansion that he was not involved with has been a total dissapointment to the point where the good things about RCT1 have even been taken away. Buy at your own risk.

What a Waste-Cs if your still alive die

Atari has taken a great game(rct) and utterly ruined. WW(wacky worlds) was a huge and total waste. The origional was supposed to have a sandbox mode(which it didnt), so dont get your hopes up kids. The true fans out there are doing the exact same thing atari is doing by creating scenery. Yet oddly enough, ours is better. Chris you have ruined the game we all so loved by selling out to atari. F You atari thanks for the peice of crap that youve made..Btw you wont be getting my money.

I would say...

I would say that it could be better. More scenery also means better themed parks. People can also make their own rides and scenery with different tools on the internet so it just gives us a chance to make more scenery to make the game better.

Nope

I love how incredibly unintelligent people are allowed to write a review for a game that is not even out and one which they have no clue about. At least I am writing from the experience of playing all the RCT games and expansions and understanding the game and how things work.

This expansion will be as bad as Wacky Worlds. The RCT franchise will continue to be absolutely horrible until it is taken out of the hands of its publisher - Infogrames (now Atari).

Pass on this and all other RCT games and expansions until people with knowledge on the subjet give it their approval rating. Until then you are just ignorantly wasting your money.

Oh Jeez

Oh great. It's probably just going to be another scenery pack. Not that I don't like scenery or anything but with the current limits on objects, this expansion pack will be living H-E-double hockey sticks(if you know what I mean :) ). I am looking forward to getting this but I'm not dancing around my house about it.

P.S. My rating is based on my expectations of it.

Sound fun

This is a much needed expansion pack. After Wacky Worlds expansion (which was a 2/10) this is hopfully going to be better. I hops sence it's Time Twister there will be night and day. And seasons (winter, autome, summer). If it has those qaulities this will get alot more people into the game, and it will make the game what it use to be.
