Guide Review - "World's Greatest Coasters 3D"
The gameplay is simple; you either ride or build a rollercoaster. Riding pre-built coasters is entertaining the first time. It's definitely not the reason for buying the game. However, young children will probably have fun moving the camera around with the mouse and riding the coasters more then once.
The controls for building a coaster are simple, yet advanced. The height and length of the tracks are easily manipulated.
Building rollercoasters in a computer game is not a new idea. As a budget title, it offers well-rendered graphics and straightforward gameplay. Only think about buying this one, if you have a strong interest in rollercoasters. Even then, other titles may better suit your wants.
