Guide Review - "RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Strategy Guide"
Prima Games' "RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Strategy Guide" covers almost every aspect of the game. The chapters are thorough. Even when listing the shops and stalls, hints are given when and when not to build them. It is a nice refresher to players who may have not played "Rollercoaster Tycoon" for awhile, while newbies devour the information.
My biggest, and really only, complaint is that the new tools should have been covered in more detail. A walkthrough is given for the scenario editor and provides brief descriptions of the rollercoaster design and ride manager.
As with most strategy guides, look for this guide on sale. You'll be pleased with the quality.
