The Bottom Line

Building rollercoasters has never felt so limitless before. Between the coaster editor and terrain editor, you'll feel like you have complete control over the design.
Pros
  • Terraformer and Rollercoaster editors
  • Feels like you're really riding the rollercoaster
  • Graphics are better than I expected
Cons
  • no tutorials for editors, which take time to fully explore

Guide Review - "NoLimits Roller Coaster"

There hasn't been a shortage of rollercoaster games in the last few years. We can manage theme parks, build coasters, and ride them. "NoLimits Roller Coaster" builds upon what games like "Ultimate Ride" started, and improved and expanded game play.

While you won't be managing a park in this game, you will be building rollercoasters and terraforming. The game comes with 40 pre-made coasters to get on riding right away. The simulation of riding is unbelievable. The sound is realistic, wooden coasters are loader for example. One of the rides was so loopy, my stomach started to feel ill.

The best part of gaming is creating. The coaster editor's interface could be friendlier. A tutorial would take care of most of the problems (like figuring out what the icons mean). After tinkering with it, you'll get it.

This is a great concept, and worth buying if the idea of building and riding rollercoasters keeps your attention. Otherwise, it's fun for a couple of rides, after that you need to dig for added entertainment. The execution of gameplay is incredible; it's just a matter of you having the interest.
