Still worth it

[kwesidbz21]

Is this game worth me buying in 2023? Was thinking of buying planet coaster but don't wannan pay $50 plus it has alot of DLCs as well.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Graphics have aged horribly and there isn't nearly as much freedom when it comes to building scenery and coasters. There is a lot of content though, and it is still fun if you can put up with the graphics and overly strict scenery placement restrictions. It is also to-date still the only game like this that incorporates both zoo elements and amusement park stuff in the same game. The pool stuff is fun to play around with as well.

I believe it is worth it, but it goes on sale relatively frequently too if you don't want to pay full price.

Basically, the game's biggest weaknesses are graphics and lack of freedom with placing scenery, while it's strengths are the sheer volume of content and solid scenario campaigns.

If you absolutely need a new theme park-game, then sure, go for it. Though I like RCT1 and 2 more.

But if you have to decide between this and Planet Coaster, then better choose Planet Coaster. It's RCT3 (also from the same developers), but much better. After having completed RCT3 today, I will never touch it again. But Planet Coaster? Heck yes!

i have had a fair few hours on it
didn't annoy me too much or anything
i like how you can place your own music tracks into the RCT3 file and have it played on the rides, and then you can find parts of the funfair that has 2 or 3 tunes playing at the same time and use mouse and zoom to mix it

Well It depends on your personality, but I say YES, because RCT3 is such a fun classic game.

I say, YES!

It has more features as Planet Coaster like Weather, selling umbrellas, better guest movement. Only the graphics look a bit older and The UI is very small on high resolution.

It's my first time playing a Tycoon game and I'm having a great time in RTC3, I totally recommend it. Even though there are some inconveniences because of how old the game is, overall it's a pretty chill and fun game to play. The campaign is full of fun and varied levels too, I recommend it.

I'd personally buy the Atari Platinum Edition on CD's via ebay or wherever you can obtain the game to actually own. You'll get the licensed music, the wonderful Atari logo which has been removed after Frontier maliciously sued them, and the satisfaction of not giving Frontier any money because it's not like this re-release adds anything notable or worthwhile.

I got this game for 7€ (or something like that) and it is definitely worth that. I think the normal price is around 20€ and I would say it's worth that amount of money too. However, I associate the game with childhood memories and therefore perhaps view it less critically. But if you buy it for €7, you definitely won't regret it (if you are into building games and rollercoasters of course).

Of course it can't be compared to modern games like Planet Coaster, but it only costs a fraction of the price. In Planet Coaster you are much more free when it comes to building and the graphics are on completely different levels.
Especially when it comes to buildings and scenery, the game doesn't offer nearly as much. To me it seems more like building a funfair than an amusement park, because you are so limited in what you can do with the scenery. But i guess that depends on how you would describe an amusement park :D

But if you're looking for a relaxing game in which you can build a pretty nice park within a few hours, this game is a good choice in my opinion.

If you want/ expect a game like Planet Coaster with all its freedom and design options, this game will probably disappoint you.
But if you're just interested in building a park and just having a bit of relaxed playtime, I'd recommend this game.

And you shouldn't forget that you get 3 games in one. You can also build zoos or water parks with this version.

I bought it for only 7 euros a week ago and it's absolutely worth a buy
