To me, its looks like a souped up version on that dreadful 3D RCD, which I have.

ugh

Dont buy this game. There are few inversions, the physics are SO SCREWED UP! You need boosters everywhere to keep it going threw the circuit. A 200 foot coaster does not look that high. ITs so messed up. The people that made it obviously dont know ANYTHING about roller coasters! So skip this game and just wait for no limits. Nolimits will be/is much much better than ultimate ride.

I think the game is ok. The biggest problems I have are with the inability to customize the environment where you build the coasters. If you want anything even close to reasonable you have to build on the mountain site. The other problems I have are with the fact that it does not let you build half-loops or half-corkscrews, so you cannot create sea-serpents or cobra rolls. Overall though, the editor is pretty cool once you get the hang of it, and the physics seem to be good (as opposed to what someone said earlier). It is meant to be a fantasy coaster game, and it does a good job at that, but I'd like to be able to create more realistic coasters and environments.

Question

I'm not quite sure if I should buy the game, as I'm getting conflicting opinions from everybody. How much longer until the price drops to $19.99?

It's not THAT bad, but it could use some improvment. One of the biggest problems I had is the fact that the coaster has to adjust to the terrain, and not the other way round.

I tried it out and I wasnt to impressed with it. The themeing is outstanding but other than that, its just a regular coaster ride. It needs a better variety of coaster to choose from too.

this kinda game is for those who arent into the hardcore aspects of coaster creation. if your looking for a nicely animated coaster creating game, this is for you. this game is also a great tool for learning the basics of coaster creation (exg... g control, banking, speed control, styles, etc...)
