Though this may be quite meagre when you compare it with the game’s sequel, Nolimits Rollercoaster Simulation 2, at the time this level of content was more than enough for most people that owned the original.īefore you can go ahead and ride your very own creation, you have to go ahead and create it first the editor is the tool you use to do this. What’s even better is that after a patch was released, Nolimits Rollercoaster Simulator got an extra 8 ready-made coasters for users to tinker around with. Some of the rollercoasters are the creation of some developer’s imagination of course, but a select few of them are genuine reproductions of real-life rollercoasters as well. In terms of straight-up content that you get with this simulator out of the box, this software originally came with 16 pre-designed and fully functioning rollercoasters.

Nolimits Is split into to constituent components: the rollercoaster editor - this provides CAD-like capabilities in planning and constructing your coaster down to the tiniest detail – and the rollercoaster simulator, which is the software you use in order to actually get to ride the coasters you have created in the editor. There are no levels, there are no overarching objectives to be completed or parks to manage – just a rollercoaster builder/editor and simulator in one package. The reason I’ve been pushing the line that Nolimits 2 is most definitely not a game is because, well, it is essentially a highly specialised form of CAD (computer-aided design) software. This is for serious simulation fanatics only – if you’re looking for light entertainment, then I suggest looking elsewhere for your thrills. Likewise, the time I’ve racked up with similar games like Theme Park and Sim City is equally as sad/impressive (depending on how you look at it), but never before in my life had I experienced a level of rollercoaster simulation that comes anywhere near the detail that Nolimits 2 offer, it's by far the most realistic of experiences for building your own custom rides.Īny hopes of experiencing the instantly-thrilling theme park-management side of things were instantly dashed, though my disillusionment evaporated almost instantly when I realised that I was expecting the wrong thing of this gam… actually, strike that: tool. I’ve played a fair number of hours of Rollercoaster Tycoon plus the Deluxe edition in my lifetime. A simulator does not get more detailed than this Far From a Casual Game
