Description: NoLimits 2 is the ultimate roller coaster simulation that lets you experience authentic roller coaster thrills. Climb into the world’s most famous roller coasters and experience the excitement in real time. Or design a new roller coaster that is engineered to your specifications.

Use a full-featured roller coaster editor with a CAD-style wire-frame display to build a custom coaster. Drag and drop track, supporting structures, and other objects. Use slider bars to change the perspective of the elements being designed, and to zoom in and out. Your only constraints are the laws of physics and your imagination.

Review: Let us get one thing straight, NoLimits 2: Roller Coaster Simulation is a SERIOUS them park building game. With a complex building system and quite a lot of knowledge of 3D design needed. While it wasn’t built for VR, it has been giving a small VR makeover. Sadly anyone coming off the back of games like Roller Coaster Tycoon faces a very steep learning curve here.

But reviewing this game based only on the VR element I can tell you it is awful. The frame rates suck, the game psychics are worse than Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and these things come together to make the game so nauseating it is pointless playing it in VR! Planet Coaster is a much better game and I suggest you give that a go rather than this. Truly an epic fail of a game that is best avoided at all costs.
