The interface is wonderful, with all the controls and functions needed to build exciting rides.

Adrenaline Vault

This new release is a credible and equally enjoyable alternative to the excellent "RollerCoaster Tycoon," with both having distinctly different purposes and assets.

GameSpy

The only major complaint is that once a coaster is finished -- or even well into its construction -- it isn't very easy to make even minor adjustments.

GameSpot

Essentially just a slightly better version of the original game.

IGN

As long as you keep the realities of the game in mind (that it's a coaster builder and rider, that's it) then you should be able to have a good bit of fun with this game.

Jessica S. gave it a 9:
Its a great simulator. Unlimited in track design but maybe a little short on extras. Everyone must be waiting impatiently for patches and/or expansion packs. Tunnels, near complete darkness with some kind of fairy lights, fireworks, more theme props, evironments...etc..etc, would be fantastic fun.

Donna T. gave it a 9:
I have been looking for this exact type of coaster game for a long time and I think that it the best. I am looking forward to some new patches from more ideas to better it even more.

Laura H. gave it a 9:
I think that riding the rollercoasters is great because it feels so real that it even starts to make you feel dizzy and sick! Fireworks are supossed to be something that you can get, but i don't know how to get them yet.

Tommy gave it a 7:
It is not like you are building a theme park, but you get to ride the roller coasters you build. To see people that would get sick on the roller coaster would make the game a lot better.
