Amazon.com Review:
SimCoaster may seem to be a brand-new game trying to cash in on the wild popularity of amusement-park simulators, but it is actually the latest version of Bullfrog's successful Sim Theme Park series being served up under a new name. The 3-D graphics have been touched up a bit and heaps of new features have been added, but it retains the basic Theme Park premise of letting players design and manage their own amusement parks. Everything from the packaging to the playful visuals would make one think SimCoaster is a lighthearted software toy, but this time around the game is all business.

Although it is possible to design roller coasters, log flumes, and other amusement-park favorites, the game focuses more on strict park management than creativity. As in similar games, players must hire staff such as gardeners, repairmen, and engineers, but SimCoaster also makes players worry about training these human resources, setting their wages, and even giving them a place to rest. It's not enough to strategically place restrooms throughout the park, but players must remember to build both male and female lavatories. It all adds up to a frustrating level of micromanagement.

If a detailed amusement-business-management sim was exactly what you were looking for, SimCoaster has plenty of other aspects that should help keep your attention. The graphics are good with particularly excellent animation, and it's possible to zoom from an overhead view of the park all the way down to sidewalk level so you can see exactly what the visitors are seeing. You can even ride your coasters in a first-person view. Unfortunately, the sound effects are sorely lacking and the game's music is uninspiring, but the actors who voiced the other park managers you work with and the interactive advisor did an outstanding job. Fans of Sim Theme Park (and the older Theme Park series) will love this update, but those looking to spend more time building rides and simply watching their park work without having to constantly answer to management will be disappointed.--T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Colorful, well-animated graphics
Can ride your own coasters
Detailed business simulation
Excellent in-game help and tutorial

Cons:

Micromanagement will be a turnoff for Roller Coaster Tycoon fans
It's difficult to find an ideal camera angle for viewing the park

- Great game
This game is awesome. I love playing it an I never get tired of it. I've had it for a long time now. But it recently stopped working, and now does what Sim Theme Park does; Starts and then crashes to the desktop. But other than that it's terrific.

- Great, but what about the advisor?
Great game, like Sim Theme Park! But the advisor was too annoying! She said, "your bathrooms are FILTHY AND THEY'RE MAKING PEOPLE SICK!-" and groans.

Sim Theme Park had a great advisor. Less picky about the rides about to break down, the Sim Theme Park advisor was good unless you never set your employee's patrol areas. He even made me laugh saying: "We're talking major pockets of cultural depravation!" Ha ha!

Sim Coaster advisor built 1 ride (not a roller coaster) and 2 ... Read More

- It's Okay
Simcoaster is pretty much the same as Sim Theme Park, but I don't think it's as good. It seems like you have to worry about stinkbombs, fire lightings, and many behavior problems. This game focuses too much on all the business elements of running a theme park. It doesn't really have to do as much with creating a beatiful theme park that you want to design. It's not like Roller Coaster Tycoon where you mainly focus on building rides and creating a park. It gets overwhelming. You open up new areas ... Read More
