Firingsquad heeft een review van Rollercoaster Tycoon gepost. Het spel draait op een verbeterde engine die in 1995 werd ontwikkeld voor Transport Tycoon. Een beetje verouderd dus, grappig om daarom te lezen wat Firingsquad over de graphics zegt:
The graphics in Roller Coaster Tycoon are nothing short of amazing. Chris Sawyer, developer of this game, pulled out all the stops with this. The game is colorful from top to bottom, and it utilizes just about every color in the visible spectrum. You'll be amazed at all the tiny little details. Hundreds of people will be jam packed into your parks, but the game can keep track of every one of them, as they enter the park, walk around, stand in line, get on a ride, dump trash on the ground, whatever. One of the cooler aspects of gameplay comes when it rains - put up an information booth and all the park patrons will purchase umbrellas there and walk around with umbrellas. Ditto for a balloon shop - lots of children and other patrons won't be able to resist, and the tiny balloons will add even more color to the screen. Your parks are alive with all the hustle and bustle you'd expect from an amusement park.
...en toch zijn de graphics nauwelijks verbeterd ten opzicht van het 4 jaar oude Transport Tycoon.
