Park or Ride Sim?

[jboord44]

Is this a sandbox Amusement Park simulator or just strictly a tool for building coasters? Big difference obviously, and I feel like without the theme park management elements you just have a tool here and not a game.

Straighten me out here and tell me why I'm wrong

It's a halfway between sort of thing, it's not really a game, but it really isn't a full on program either. NL2 has lots of tools to get things working great inside the engine but not much use outside of that. 'Simulator' is probably the best term. The fun comes from working in a massive sandbox with great tools to make coasters, making it a game, but it's also lacking a plot or story or elements of the traditional game, putting it somewhere awkwardly between.

NoLimits is first and foremost a rollercoaster simulator. You can have multiple rollercoasters and by editing the terrain and placing 3D models - you can create a themepark setting. However, there are no interactive guests/visitors, or economy etc. that you would get with a themepark simulator.
You would get this from Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc. but you'll also find that you can't create decent roller coasters with those games either. If you want to create the most realistic rollercoasters, and experience them as you would in real life, then look no further than NoLimits 2.
