==Reception== Initially, ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' was not entirely popular with fans of the first game, as the game engine and interface were the same as ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'', with minor improvements in graphics (e.g. more images for coaster cars, allowing for smoother animations). Like the original game, ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' still uses an [[Isometric projection|isometric]] perspective. Nevertheless, the game proved successful and attracted more people to the series, revitalizing the existing fan base. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'', as of 2005, has been the most successful game in the ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' series.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rollercoastertycoon/review.html?sid=2532721 GameSpot Review]</ref> This game is the last in the series to use isometric viewpoints. For the next release in the series, ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]]'', a new 3D game engine was implemented and the interface completely redesigned. There is a camera option in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 that allows for an isometric view, however. [[IGN]] gave Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 an 8.0/10<ref>http://pc.ign.com/articles/373/373447p1.html</ref> and [[GameSpot]] gave it a 7.0/10,<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rollercoastertycoon2/review.html?tag=result;score;0</ref> scoring somewhat lower than the original which got an 8.5<ref>[http://pc.ign.com/articles/160/160759p1.html''RollerCoaster Tycoon''] at [[IGN]]</ref> and 8.6<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rollercoastertycoon/review.html?sid=2532721 ''RollerCoaster Tycoon''] at [[GameSpot]]</ref> respectively.
