RollerCoaster Tycoon 2



RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (or RCT2 for short) is the second installment in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. The player must build successful theme parks to fulfill a set of objectives in various scenarios. The player can build custom roller coasters and tracked rides, pre-designed rides, shops and stalls, path systems, and scenery.

Critisism
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has received critisism for not being a true 'sequel' to RollerCoaster Tycoon, and being more of a RCT 1.5. This is due to the game being very similar in both graphics and gameplay. Really the only thing that changes is the amount of rides and attractions is greatly increased, and scenery is improved upon.
