Best theme park game yet

If you're a fan of games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCoaster is not to be missed. Just as in Roller Coaster Tycoon, you build and manage a theme park. But SimCoaster takes this to a whole new level with a much easier to use interface (esspecially coaster building) and awesome 3D graphics that let you walk around the park and ride the rides. Best of all, you DON'T NEED A 3D CARD to play. I love Roller Coaster Tycoon, but it's a bit dated (at least two years old). Pick this one up

What Sim Theme Park should have been!

When I got Sim Theme Park, I was very disappointed. It was very challenging to keep your money balance normal, let alone high. When I got Sim Coaster, I expected what Sim Theme Park was like. Man, was I wrong! Sim Coaster is like Sim Theme Park with everything it needed. You can finally charge for rides. Roller coasters and log flumes seem to cost a lot less. Sim Coaster is a more detailed version on Sim Theme Park. Yeah, it has an annoying advisor (female this time), but she isn't as picky as the original adivsor. In Sim Coaster, you can get opinion summaries to improve the ride easily. Gardeners are added in this game to water plants. Though there is only three parks in this game, they are better than the ones in Sim Theme Park. To open up different parts of the park, you must complete objectives given to you. Staff can be trained to do new things such as janitors being able to fight fires, or guards with first aid to cure sick guests. Challenges are given, too, but you don't have to start them right away, they are listed and you may start them anytime you wish. You can also do more than one at a time, and most of them have a preparation time which gives you time to set up before to challenge starts. Overall, this game is awesome, so don't buy Sim Theme Park and buy Sim Coaster!

The Real Truth About SimCoaster

It's time the truth was known. SimCoaster is NOT a sequel to Sim Theme Park. Here is the main reason: The game is actually called Theme Park Incorporated. Electronic Arts was going to make a game called Theme Park Inc. in which the player must complete challenges and different objectives in their theme park to get the the top of the corporate ladder and take over as president of the theme park corporation. But they dropped the idea; and later renamed the game to SimCoaster. The game is not at all similar to Sim Theme Park: it involves with managment more than building a theme park; and you still have to build a theme park, but it revolves more around a theme park MANAGEMENT simulator game more than being a build-it-up theme park game. So I just wrote this review to tell you that if you don't want to worry about manaagement in this game, this game is not for you. Otherwise, this game is bright, cartoony, and colorful. You have to satisfy a range of visitors, (kids, adults, grandparents,) keep your rides and money stable, and worry about company objectives at the same time. It may sound complicated, but it is fun, and more like a real theme park. So even if you don't want a theme park manamement game, try this anyway. It's just a game.

SIM COASTER'S THE BEST!!!!!!

This game is much betetr than RollerCoaster Tycoon- you can ride the rides, the graphics are 3-D, and it is much betetr than Sim Theme Park! The advisor in this game bugs you less than in Sim Theme Park, and the graphics are stunning. You have a variety of rides to choose from, and there are three themes (in Sim Theme Park there were four) but they are betetr than the ones in Sim Theme Park. It is more detailed and much more fun then RollerCoaster Tycoon. There is also a new worker you can hire- a gardener to water your trees and plants! This game is definetely worth the money, and is a great upgrade from Sim Theme Park.

If your child wants to be an engineer when they grow up, I recommend Sim Coaster. Sim Coaster's a good game because you learn how to spend your money wisely. It is also fun designing new rides. Eight and up will enjoy this game. I recommend it to a lot of people. -- ...

Build a Park and a Brain!

Want to have fun with your computer-savy eight year old? This is the game for you! Personally, I would be bored by a game that was all about building the park and just watching it run. We love the interactive management; like trying to build the park and manage the money while kids are throwing up on the sidwalks (right click and call a janitor)and the entertainers are threatening to strike! When you're in the middle of building a complex curve on a roller coaster and you have to stop because you ran out of money (select from four loan options in the finance section) you are really building problem-solving skills in a very fun way. The only thing I do not like about this game is my eight-year old is so much better at the game than I am!

Fast Frentic Fun

This game is alot of fun, though it is more hetic than Sim Theme Park. It gives you much more control over the park, though it has its downsides. Alot of things like training and research that pretty much handled themselves, you now have to plan out. In STP, as long as you had adequate staff and a staff room, the employees didn't complain, but now you are showered with raise and strike demands. The coasters are cool, but where are linear induction coasters? The coaster design tool is a waste, since I design my coasters around existing constructions. Also the roster of available rides is much bigger, contingent on completing challenges and activating run down rides. Dealing with customers is more challenging in that you have a diverse mix of kids, adults and seniors. I wish though the three theme areas were laid out as one park, as money and golden tickets do not transfer between parks. I also wish the game would give me time to tweak the park, but it is constantly throwing new assignments.
