Not gonna be happy with In App Purchases if there are any. But I would hope the 2.99 price tag would remove most if not all of them.

While the RCT franchise has never been he best graphics wise the switch to the mobile format just ruins it comepletly, I hope the PC version they mentioned in their facebook post is more geared towards that end.
What are these for?

Err... wanted RCT on mobile, but this looks like a more bubbly version of RCT 1, but a lot jerkier and with less control.

The fact that today's phones are easily 5+ times more powerful than what was needed to play RCT 1, that's pretty sad.

Agreed, I always get the feeling that a lot of todays developers don't worry so much about optimisation due to the more powerful computers / mobiles that they will be running on. Might not be the case here (due to aiming for a younger crowd perhaps) but I've definitely seen PC Games suffer because Consoles can run it at 30FPS :/

Sigh... mobile?

Why?

I'd pretty much want RCT4 in any version except mobile. I just don't understand the appeal of mobile games.

That's because they are excuses to suck money out of people without really giving them any quality.

RCT series should keep staying only in the category of computer game: their good tradition! :(

Didn't they have some terrible Xbox port at some point?
