Rollercoaster Rush 128x128

Roller Coaster Rush is cut from the same cloth as Digital Chocolate's 2006 masterwork, Tower Bloxx. It's an impishly creative wild ride -- you are a world famous brake man, the chap in charge of controlling the speed of the cars on whiplash-inducing rollercoasters around the globe. You thrill to get coaster junkies the ride of their lives, taking them closer to the edge of the death than they'd ever really care to know, by speeding the cars through loop de loops and other daredevil features.

Using just the 4 and 6 buttons, or the thumb pad, you must adjust the speed of the cars as they move across lengths of rollercoaster track. Each level includes a few "hazards," like steep declines and jumps that must be properly negotiated in order to move on to the next track. The game gives you an indicator of the next coaster thrill along the bottom of the screen, courtesy of a Dance Dance Revolution-style meter. Danger lurks around each feature -- if you don't hit the feature at a reasonable speed, the cars will either buckle or fall off the track, sending your poor riders parachuting to the earth.
