This game was really fun. The graphics where awesome and the Single player was actually very funny the only issue was I felt like I was done everything in 5 hours. So i went and tried out sandbox mode assuming i would have as much fun as i did with it on PC, unfortunately this wasn't i made one theme park and it was kinda of boring since nothing bad actually happened. By the time my rides started breaking down I already had 4 repair men and with some strategically placed trashed cans I never got over run by trash. There really should have been something to give me more of a challenge, like city 2000, when your would a monster come down and start wrecking your town, like FDA comes and shuts down your food stands or the safety board closes down your roller coaster and you have to build a new one

Weak

Path creation is a complete hassle!

I am a huge fan of the RCT series, so when the 3DS version was announced, I was ecstatic. Then when the release date was pushed back a few times I thought it was to make the game even better. Sadly, they should have pushed the release even farther back.

The path builder is by far one of the worst features in the game. If you build a ride that starts above ground, it is improbable that you will find a way to connect your pathways to the entrance/exit of your ride. I spent three hours NOT connecting my paths to a ride that was only 3-4 squares high.

Another thing that really bothered me was that the 3D effect felt rushed and unrefined leaving me with a headache and a bad taste in my mouth, figuratively speaking

Best part of the game:
-Same basic premise of every RCT game

Worst part of the game:
-Path building system

Final say:
If you are a big RCT fan, then this is good for at least a rental, if not a purchase since it's so cheap. But, if you have never tried the series before find a different RCT to try so that you get the true experience instead of this severely watered down version.
