Summary: NOT FOR XP
Review: all the other sim games have been great. but this one is difficult (impossable) to run on windows XP it only works on 95 and 99. very dissapointing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: no manual and no fun
Review: bought this, and come not in the originality pack of it, so it depends on who you buy from i guess, because the one i got the case is not the original case and broke, eventhough it said new, anyway, the password just come in the piece of paper rather than original casing in the back of it, very dissapointed the way they handle it, not pro, and after you got it, takes along time before it open, i guess because i have older version computer, than they said read manual, which i couldn't find it anywhere, so that's almost the story of it, besides it totally not like roller coaster it just like cartoon, not real.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful!
Review: Don't bother with a game like this, if you want a rollercoaster game buy RollerCoaster Tycoon, this game is horrible I wanted to return it, awful concept for a roller coaster game.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible in EVERY possible way
Review: Don't let the SIM family name fool you. This game is a disgrace. My 10-year old daugther received it for her birthday and excitedly torn into the package (Sorry honey, we can't return it). I never heard of SimCoaster but installed it with high expectations (afterall, "The Sims" is great). Less than two minutes into the game, I was convinced it was something from a sofware discount bin, circa 1994. SimCoaster has some of the cheesiest graphics I've seen in the last six or seven years.

While the packaging and design are clearly aimed at young childern, the main objective of the game is the mundane task of "managing" a theme park (and some people think bloody games like Quake or Doom lead to violent outbursts). As you work--you can't call this "play"--a perky and annoying in-game assistant regularly reminds you that the "workers are unhappy," "a ride has broken down," or the park's customers "aren't having much fun," to which my daugther responded with an unsolicited "Neither am I."

Enough said. If you love your children, avoid this game. It would be too expensive even if it was free.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SimCoaster Rocks!
Review: I am a great fan of Sims, Zoo Tycoon, and games of that nature. I recently bought this, and just started playing. It is totally awesome! You can build/design rides in three different areas, and a challenge or something will always come up so you're never bored. I would reccommend it to all kids and pre-teens who like games like this! (it is also addictive! :-D heehee)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: I bought the game thinking I'd be able to build roller coasters and have lots of fun. The only thing I did was waste my money. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. It is not Maxis's best game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: sim coaster
Review: I bought this game and it didn't work just like sim theme park. They have to update these two games so that they will work on XP. I was very disapointed. Buy it tough if yo have 95 or 98 but not if you have XP.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SuCkS!
Review: I bought this game thinking it would be way better than Roller Coaster Tycoon, and plus: You could ride the rides!

I was WRONG.

Don't Waste your money! BUY ROLLER COASTER TYCOON!

It Sucks, The Grapihcs Suck, It takes 10 minutes to load (no kidding) and it is not realistic.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Check system requirements.
Review: I could not get this game to run on my computer because it is not supported by windows XP. If you use anything more current than windows 98 don't waste your money on this game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sim Coaster or Sim Theme Park Expansion Pack?
Review: I enjoy sim-games. I have all of them. From the original Sim City to the latest, Sim Coaster, I got 'em. I just have to tell you, I was not very impressed by Sim Coaster. If you take Sim Theme Park, add in some different rides and have the whole thing require more micromanagement input from you, then you have this game. The graphics are the same caliber and the rides have been given a facelift, but basically it's a whole lot like Sim Theme Park.

Granted, I'm the type of person who really likes Roller Coaster Tycoon (RCT). I like the detailed abilities RCT gives you like building underground, inside buildings...etc. Sim Coaster doesn't give you these abilities. It's more of a park- management type sim than a park-building sim.

Sim Coaster isn't a bad game, it's colorful and has decent graphics. If you don't have Sim Theme Park, it might be worth a look. If you do have Sim Theme Park, that same look will bring on a strong sense of deja vu.
