This game is great! It allows for practically anything, any twist, turn, gallop, anything! In truth, I bought this game to try and find a replacement for Disney's Coaster, that came out quite some time ago...and it almost impossible to find now. So far, its measured up quite well. The graphics and great, and the game play is extremely user friendly. The tutorial teaches our everything and after you've mastered all 5 stages, you get a sixth stage which lets you build anything, in anyway you want. Its amazing! Its the best Coaster game on the market right now, and it well worth 30 bucks!

Dreamcast Has A New Hit!

All you other coaster games move over,this is a new era of in your face coaster action. Have fun trying to build the most horrifying drops,the biggest loops,and then when youre done trade them on-line with youre friends. This game is truely excellent.

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!

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!

Another exceptional reason to own a Dreamcast!!!

I have been hunting for this title ever since I first heard of it in November of 2000. Each time the street date would near, it would be extended for another month. Finally, last night, my copy arrived via UPS 2nd Day Air. Was it worth the wait and the expectations that grew? In one word...(very loudly screamed as the train rolls down a 90 lift hill...) YES! A better way of describing this would be to say you begin to compete with yourself to continously increase your skill. It infects you with constand mental visuals, day-dreams almost, of new track configurations to try.

If creativity is your thing, and you're a roller coaster freak (like myself) you'll eat this game up in a second. It was a risky market to try and tap into, but it was done with grace.

All hail Millennium Force!!!

This is the worst game I have ever bought

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!!!

Wow!

I have been waitin for 6 months for this to come out. I admit, this game was easy, i am very good at building coasters. Unfortately i paid too much for it. If you like building coasters this is the game for you. I beat it in 2 and a half days but i still play the secret level often, but once you beat the game there is not much left to do. But on the other hand this game rocks. Graphicwise and gameplaywise. But i would pay more than ... bucks for it because it is not worth it.

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.

Coasters RULE!!

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!!!

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
