I have the full version. We tried it last night on our Mac through Virtual
PC. It ran fine (mostly). I think the concept of an audio/performance
construction kit is neat. The girls' dialogue however, was disappointing. A very
weak and (IMO) unnecessary plot just seemed to get in the way of my desire to
create.
But hey, I'm not in the target audience.

Taya's playing with the real thing as I type this. Seems OK, I guess.
Very not at all brick related, but we knew that.
So far it hasn't repeated a sequence, stuff seems to be happening, so I
guess it's like an interactive adventure of sorts.

I bought it for my 7 yr old Daughter for Christmas, on the grounds that she
likes Scala and is into pop music in a big way. Its also fairly unusual to
find games for kids that are not drawing/painting/story books/adventure type
things, so it should make a change.
If you can wait that long, I'll LYK how we get on.

Only sort of. I mean, they're only sort-of Scala characters. I'm not making
any comment on the mouthiness part.
The characters do not directly represent any Scala doll I've seen. Heck,
they're multi-racial. Scala doesn't do that!

I'm lucky. The boys took a look at it, and shrugged it off with a "why'd we get
this thing?" attitude. Not that I expcted anything else. Jamie got the pink
plane McDonald's toy, and was ready to trade it in for something else.

We got one. Now I am wondering how they knew who to send it to? Did they pick
names at random? Or did they look for girls names (though mine was adressed to
me, not my daughter). Anyway, I played it. My overall impression is a ggood
game, even though it has nothing to do with LEGO.

That only solves half the problem. We have three computers, and I have not
been able to play RCT for a week. Someone is always playing it. My wife is
even obsessed with the game. If there is any one game you can't put down, this
is it. Then again, if you are the only one in the house that plays the game,
its a different story.
