Game may require more than suggests Well, I recieved this game for Christmas, and I was so excited to get it in and play. However, I was quickly dissapointed with the fact that my computer graphics card could not support the game, and therefore it wouldn't run. So after a week of researching gaming cards, I finally purchased one I think will play the game pretty well, but it ended up costing 250 dollars, and hopefully I'll get it next week. Now, if you end up buying this game, basically (and I hate to say this), but disregard some of the "system requirements", because with those system requirements, the game is going to run pretty lousy. Even with the recommened requirements it still will run what I consider miserably. Now, just for average to good gameplay quality, I would recommend that you have atleast 1.8 GHz Processor Speed, between 512 to 784 MB of RAM, and a really good graphics card. I would recommend, as would others, getting a 128 MB ATI RADEON 9200 or better graphics card. 128 MB RADEON 9200 graphics card will cost you around 100 dollars. Now, keep in mind, the reqiurements I have just given are probably good gameplay quality, however, in RCT3, the bigger your parks become that you build, the more the game is going to require. So a really big park being built in sandbox mode with the requirements I have just given is probably going to run somewhat laggy. Now I am no expert, by any means. I have just been around in the official RCT3 Forums, as well as dealing with my own personal experience, and that is why I feel the system requirements I have given are probably somewhat accurate for good gameplay for RCT3. You have to make the choice if buying this game is worth also buying a gaphics card or more memory of ram. Maybe, you don't need to because you already have enough memory and a good graphics card. But if you're like me, with a mere integrated graphics card and a 256 MB of RAM, you might decide that buying all these other upgrades, that could potentially cost around 200 dollars, isn't worth playing the game. Others, like me, may decide it is worth it. I am not complaining, trying to persuade, or whining to anybody, I am just simply trying to inform consumers that RCT3 will require more than the box suggests. Maybe this will prevent you from buying the game, or maybe it will prompt you to get more. Either way, I hope everything works out.
