Rating: Summary: Create your own ultimate ride! Review: If you've ever been to a theme park and thought to yourself, "I could design a better coaster than that!" now's your chance. Less of a game and more of a toy, Ultimate Ride allows you to design your own coaster (steel, wooden or suspended), and ride it -- in 3D!The graphics are excellent, and the frame rates are good (even in high resolution), but there aren't enough objects and backdrops to play around with, which does seem rather limiting. Also, being a Disney Imagineering game, you'd expect (or rather, wish) they'd included some of the coasters from the Disney parks. They haven't. Hopefully we'll see some downloadable add-on packs in the future. The included sounds are bearable, but fortunately the programmers have included the ability to import your own MP3s. You won't imagine how strange it is to ride a coaster to the theme of 'The Littlest Hobo'! Gameplay is good, and the menus are easy to understand, though building the coaster can be a little difficult as you can't delete a section without removing all the sections after it. It's also easy to find yourself rebuilding half the coaster again because the track doesn't quite match up at the other end. 'Ride' mode is great and allows to you ride you creations from diffent seats, or from other camera angles. One niggle is that the g-force ratings seem a little high all the time -- 10Gs on a coaster? Purlease! In summary, Ultimate Ride is a fun toy for the Rollercoaster enthusiast. Not really a game, or statistically accurate, but a fun creative pastime!

Rating: Summary: very fun Review: It is a fun game to play It makes you think and have fun at the same time once you are done with your roolercoaster you get to ride it in 3-D thats cool
Rating: Summary: great idea for a game Review: It's almost there. It lacks a friendly interface and game options. Satisfies the desire I have to ride the coasters I build on Roller Coaster Tycoon, but leaves me wanting more after I build a few (then I switch back to Roller Coaster Tycoon)
Rating: Summary: tHE cOOLEST game i ever playd Review: Ithink this game is cool becuse i get to creat and rid my owen roler coster thin see what others think. and it has some cool props.
Rating: Summary: Coaster fun Review: Its fun rideing a roller cosater. I bhilt a one call the monster. Teens and 9 year olds will love it. You have got to buy it. It will be a bit hard for 6 year olds.
Rating: Summary: Great game, worth time and money Review: Ive been a rollercoaster freak forever and when I saw this I had to buy it. What I like most about it is that you are free to do whatever you want. It has an excellent interface and it is really easy to use. You can even swap rollercoaster at their offical site and more. I keep playing this game more than all my others. definately If you like rollercoasters then get this game. It is really fun.

Rating: Summary: Nice coaster sim Review: Just like Coaster Works for Dreamcast, but 20 time better.
Rating: Summary: Hose Job - on "The Ultimate Ride" Review: Kellog's put this CD on the front of cereals trying to get kids to buy their Frosted Flakes. The front of the CD said that it is a Preview. Not Even. What a waste of my time, plastic for the CD, the wrapping ect. Hey Tony, you have truly given us "The Ultimate Ride." I will not be buying Kellog's products for awhile just to return the insult factor. P.S. Your scale of 1 - 5 needs to have a big zero added. Chris Moran
