Rollercoaster Tycoon 2??? Locomotion???

[diasyjazz]

Anyone ever get into the Tycoon games...Transport/ Rollercoaster. I just got Rollercoaster 2 and am totally adicted. I noticed that Locomotion is coming out soon - its like a semi sequel to transport tycoon and was curious if others were familiar with these games as I am getting into them.

RCT2 was too similar to the first one IMO, it was more like another expansion pack.

RCT3 seems to be the proper sequel as it is making bigger steps forward

[HeadHunter]

I have the original....

how are they making RCT3 different

[cg124]

I use to have RCT. I checked down stairs to see if we have it, but I could only find the expantion pack

[spiderman_2k]

how are they making RCT3 different

Its in 3D now, more like Theme Park World but looks like it will be better

and you can ride your rides this time.

so excited!

i have both RCT 1 and 2


i love them. they're are so addicting.

[Pickinfeet]

all of sawyer's games are freaking addictive to beat the band. i spent entirely too much time on RCT 2....and locomotion seems to be bringing up similar "problems" again in the future.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is gonna be really cool, i was hooked on 1 and all the expansions, 2 seemed like another expansion so i never got it, but 3 looks awesome.

[diasyjazz]

I never played the first one though...so RCT2 is great for me.....noone played transport tycoon???? i want some digs on that to know how this other game is going to be...i guess i could just go buy it...but....i was hoping i could just ask you all =)

I still play RCT II quite a bit. My DC comics park is thriving. :D

[Pickinfeet]

this thread convinced me to get back into my sawyer roots and dig up the old RCT2....not a good thing....anyway, where are those screen shots from for locomotion....they're kinda small in that post.

[diasyjazz]

I am having some troubs with RCT2. Any advise on how to build houses...i just don't get it..i can't get the roof to go ontop of the walls.

Bump./ ANyone pick up Locomotion? I have checked out the demo and am planning on getting Locomotion this week.

[youthinasia]

'Didn't get it yet, but a friend of mine did. I've been watching him play a little and it def seems cool. I've added it to my want list....

[Aznspid3rman]

I just picked it up. Being a big RCT fan and rollercoaster enthusiast in general Chris Sawyer brought making parks into your own home with ease. I bought Locomotion and its a very, very addictive game as was all of his previous games. Its very reminiscent of Transport Tycoon. Good buy. You should even try the demo.

[diasyjazz]

yeah. i did try the demo. i got the game cause the demo was short. i am having difficulties getting all the stuff going on at once. the first level that i am in you need to transport 500 people - and i DO That through buses, but then all my oil production goes down. for people really good at this. is there a certain way that i need to approach it?

[diasyjazz]

Bump: Just read that this demo comes out Sept. 27th for those who care

I picked up locomotion last week and can't quit playing! Tho you sound farther than i am. the gameplay is sorta like TT - but have you noticed the planes don't crash as often as they did in TT? I like the game a lot.

[Patman]

i play simms online. thats about it.
