Too Slow!

This game would be super exciting, except for the problem of how slow it is! I purchased my imac just a year ago and still have pl…Read moreenty of free space after installing this game. Yet, it still takes eternity to get anything built. The main problem was building foot paths and roller coasters. I spent literally 15 minutes trying to build a foot path that only required five pieces. The game is also very different from the original games and takes some time to get used to. Overall, if the game was going to run this slow for you, them I don't recomend purchasing this game. For me it was definitely not worth the price plus shipping and tax. If you really are going to by this game, I would look into it more and be sure that the game will run properly before you spend 50 dollars.

I am playing this game on a 1.83 GHz MacBook Intel Core Duo with 512 MB of RAM. and I have not had a problem. Here is how I got it…Read more to work. before I ran the game for the first time I installed the Universal patch from apple.com. Once that was done I have not had a problem. (Note: I have not tried to import any songs from iTunes yet) My sugestion to people who can't get the game to work is to delete the game and ALL its preference files. Put the game back on your hard drive (But do NOT open it yet.), Install the universal patch then open the game. Hope that works.

have on PC, may buy for Mac
Written by LG from Round Lake Park

I own this game for my PC, and I find it to be a lot of fun to play. It appeals both to adults and children. Versions 1 and 2 we…Read morere simple 2-D games, but this one is fully 3D. And, for the first time in this franchise, you can 'ride' the coasters you build.
The game play permits a career mode, where you progress through various exercises in building theme parks consisting of various thrill rides, including of course signature roller coasters. You have limited time, money, area, and have specific goals that you have to meet.
However, I find the sandbox mode more interesting, where you are freed from the constraints of money and time and can just design anything you want, to your heart's content. This is also the simplest mode for children to enjoy it.
I'm not sure why the list price is TWICE that of the PC version. For the same money, you can get the PC version, plus their "Soaked" add-on that adds waterpark features, and still have money left over for a fast food meal. If this release by Aspyr includes "Soaked", then it seems a reasonable deal.
Note that this game requires substantial performance to be playable on a PC, and I expect the Mac version will be similar in that respect. Running on a computer without a high-end video card and CPU will be disappointing.
Even though I might already have a PC game, I generally consider supporting software development for Mac OS by buying another copy for my Mac. But in this case, the list price might be way out of line.(385 of 606 people found this review useful)
