I was what you'd call a hardcore Roller Coaster Tycoon fan. I had the 2 expansions, Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes, and after seeing this I thought itd be awesome. I played the demo, I was dissapointed. The menus, although more user friendly and stylish looking, are clunky, and many shortcuts I was used to using have been removed. Little touches like the new comic proportions of people, coasters not crashing upon hitting each other (probably will be fixed), no booster available to use for rides that used to allow booster, game looks beautiful really though because those reflections are amazing. Basically, I'm finding it very clunky to use with the small round buttons and the camera always screwing me up. It's cool (the camera), but I'm actually finding myself preferring the locked perspective simly because its much easier to build while using it. Theres my short little review of the demo. Oh and basically everything I mentioned has the potential to be fixed by release. Let's hope so, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
