Coaster Works For Sega Dreamcast

I have enjoyed this game many years ago, but in all the moves I had made I lost the game. I thought I would never play it again, but just in case I kept a game save on my Dreamcast VMU. I came across the game on Amazon and snapped it up. It was just as fun as I could have hoped. The user interface is very simple and fun to use. I highly recommend that you run a lot of "test" runs when you are building you coaster, it stinks when you finish the coolest coaster ever, just to have it fail a hill at the beginning.

One of my favorite features of this game to me is riding the complete coaster, because you get to sit in the front and you sometimes really get into the "ride". My wife gets motion sickness on real coasters, and when she was watching my complete coaster she had to look away because she started to feel queazy, that says something for the realism huh? The person I bought the game from on Amazon sent me a game in awesome shape and I played for HOURS the first day. Great game!

IT ROCKS!!

You heard me I looooovvvveeee Roller Coasters. Here is a tip if u love Coasters like me get the game! If u think coasters are ok rent it. If u HATE(gasp) Coasters then stay away from this game. You can tell I have been on roller coasters and I have Roller Coaster Tycoon so I'm a Roller Coaster Freak! For those who don't like roller coasters try to rent it, for the rest of u GET THE GAME!!!

Coaster Works - Really feels like a simulator!

Coaster Works - simply two addicting words. This game is one of the first I've ever played ( I'm a coaster enthusiast ) where you really feel like you are on the coaster. The graphics are great, too! You have no limits ( except for height, but it can still be, like, 300 feet high! ) You can go vertical, do any possible inversion, and the thrill is just amazing.
(...)It is SO worth it. I'm telling you, it's one of the best games I've played in my life. It's easy to play, you don't need any extra software, it's educational, and at times, it's challenging. Awesome!

Highly Educational

If you are an avid gamer and are looking for VERY DETAILED graphics and a HUGE plot don't look at this game, look at Shenmue. This is very educational because it shows the gravity and actual physics needed to create a roller coaster.

I can't believe they actually started selling this game. The should do a recall and give better games. Games as good as rollercoaster Tycoon. I was expecting ot build a whole amusement park, not just a boring 1 coaster per level. The track looks all dumb, and its way too unrealistic. They should be able to put 0 stars or a half star. I wouldn't even pay 5 dollars for this. My advise: DONT GET THIS GAME!!!

COASTER WORKS = =<

If your are ready to be disapointed buy this game. I would give it a ZERO STAR but it only lets me pick one. 6 boring levels, that take no time at all to beat is all you have to pick from. First of all price is HIGH, Second square graphics, Third there is really no thema to the game, you dont see a person in the seat of the coaster the whole game, forth IF you expected roller coaster tycoon (like me) IT is not there at all. Thats the main reasons and there are many more. BUY IF YOU DARE but be prepaired to have no fun

Good but not worth the money for it :(

I was thinking maybe this would kind of rival the computer simulation coaster game. Roller Coaster Tycoon, but no it does not. I figured well it still builds coasters so this could be interesting. It is a little confusing at first but you get the hang of it fast but it just isnt worth the money. This is one of those games where you should just rent and play becuase it aint worth it to own. I love Sega and all their systems, I own them all and I love them all, but this game isnt worth the money. Sorry Sega!

Amazing but brief

Simply put, Coaster Works is a fun and amazing game that is over far too quickly. I was able to complete this game in about 5 hours - that's just too fast. Now that it's complete, I'm not sure what more I can do with it. I could perhaps continue building coasters just to see how Thrilling a coaster I could create, but the game provides no way to name or compare coasters. It would also be nice if I could somehow extend the 240 segment limit or increase the maximum coaster height - some truly unique and incredible coasters could be built. Another nicety would be more interesting or editable terrain rather than just a large, flat rectangles.Ultimately, I think this game is really neat, but has fallen far short of its potential. Perhaps a Coaster Works 2 could be created to address some of this game's shortcomings.
