A terrible Zyngafied version of Rollercoaster Tycoon

What’s It About?
In COASTERVILLE, players manage and expand a theme park by building rides, concession stands, and other related structures. The star attractions of the park are its rollercoasters, which can be built and expanded in any direction to create different layouts. Socially, players can visit each other's parks, and help neighbors advance in the game by staffing their buildings and gifting special items.
Is It Any Good?
The ability to expand and customize rollercoasters is the big difference between CoasterVille and any of its other building sim cousins. Kids can also customize the color and appearance of the park, and complete special quests to unlock themed attractions, such as a fantasy castle. The game is well-polished and attractive to look at. However, unless players are willing to spend a steady stream of Park Cash (the game's premium currency), they will find it increasingly difficult to advance without significant investments of time or numbers of neighbors.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
