Not a title for all, but those who can appreciate the freedom of building and riding something that they have designed should find countless hours of fun.

Even with my deficient building abilities, I was still able to dive into Coaster Works and create spiraling rides from hell, even if the user interface seems a bit... advanced.

I can also recognize a niche quality product when I see and play one (even if I don't particularly like it), and Coaster Works is definitely a unique-enough title to be worth the attention of the few fanatics that will love every minute of the design process.

By no means a bad roller coaster simulator, but it's not an outstanding one either.
