Summary

A LOT of fun!!!!!!!

The Good

I liked the game's ease of use and sense of humor--the folks who ride the coaster make some hilarious comments sometimes. The point of designing a roller coaster is riding it and getting feedback. I also liked the fact that since the number of elements are limited, you're forced to design within the rules of the game and come up with a design the riders like. It's a fun challenge.

The Bad

Like some other reviewers have said, you can't do a wooden coaster or add scenery or anything. But again, this was designed about 15 years ago and back then the graphics were pretty sophisticated.

The Bottom Line

I've played other coaster design games and, while some are more realistic graphically perhaps than this one, I like this one because of the rider feedback. In other games you design a coaster and no one gives any critique...not quite as satisfying for some reason. It's so simple to build a coaster. You can design something fun in 5 minutes and ride it. It's really easy to use. The physics seem pretty realistic and the game's simplicity make the play-again factor very high.
