Customer Rating:      Summary: Mac Rollercoaster 3 Comment: This is a fun and entertaining game. It works much better on the Mac (doesn't every software?) than on the Windows PC. It works faster, smoother, and without errors.
Customer Rating:      Summary: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (Mac) Comment: My kids love this game. They had a copy for our PC, and when we all converted to Mac they were very upset they would not have access to the game. I bought the copy for the Mac, and they are thrilled. It is a great game that teaches important concepts including budgeting, resource management and engineering in addition to being FUN. We are not big proponents of lots of "screen time", but this is one exception. Both my 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter love it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Worst RCT Game....Price is Ridiculous! Comment: This is the worst RCT game to date. Sure it's pretty and features awesome graphics, but that's all it offers. It's like Jessica Simpson....Really nice to look at, but not much there. Not only that but like always it is over twice as much as its Windows counterpart. The Windows version isn't even worth its price, so the Mac version definitely is NOT worth twice that!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun for the family Comment: It's good clean fun for adults and kids and worked flawlessly on my Mac. The only downside is learning how to actually build the custom coasters which can take a little time to figure out. Outside of that, it's a lot of fun!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty Good... Comment: I like this game - it's fun to play and pretty simple. I don't like this compared to the previous games - I thought that being able to 'ride the rides' would be awesome, but i think that all of the graphics slow this game wayyyyy too much. I am also sad because it seems to quit every time I try to build my own roller coaster :(. I do save this game frequently, because it quits A LOT. And it's not like I'm running on an ancient machine or anything... I have a 2 GHz intel macbook pro with 256 mb of graphics, so I don't see why this game is being as finicky as it is. I also thought that a lot of the challenges are way too easy, especially compared to the previous roller coaster tycoons.
Maybe the expansion packs will help?
