Pros

  • When it comes to the pros associated with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, graphics tend to top the list for most users. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 comes complete with well-articulated and designed 3D graphics. The three dimensional element now a part of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 really makes the game pop.
  • Another positive advancement from prior editions in the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise is the ability in this edition for a player to be able to fully control his or her view of the amusement park. A player is able to completely control all views in all directions.
  • Particularly in light of the addition of 3D graphics, another positive element of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is the coaster cam. Mounted on the front of the roller coaster, a player is able to really get a feel for a particular ride with the coaster cam.
  • Yet another of the pros associated with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, not included in prior editions of the game, is a greater diversity of park guests. This change actually works to enhance the overall entertainment value of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
  • All of the various elements in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 come together to form one of the most highly customizable products on the market today. A gamer -- the roller coaster tycoon his or her self -- has the ability to craft and create a truly unique amusement park and associated coaster. From fireworks to guests to the rides themselves, there simply seems to be no end to the manner in which a gamer at the helm of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 can craft and create.

Cons

  • The only significant gripe expressed about RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 centers on the interface. Even some individuals experienced in playing games in the franchise tend to note that the learning curve associated with the interface is a bit more or longer than expected (or perhaps necessary). With that noted, once a person gets the hang of the interface, most players report that it does work reasonably well.
