As the only member of the staff to have an iPod Touch, I bought and downloaded “AirCoaster 3D.” You may be thinking, “That’s really cool! A coaster editor for your iPod!” Well, it’s actually quite lame and is very disappointing.

For starters, all this does is makes a bunch of random track over an impossible enviornment. As you can see above, this is not realistic at all. To create a “ride,” all you do is slide bars left and right to decide how many loops, curves, and turns you want. Pretty lame compared with RCT3 and NoLimits.

The custom track editor is lame too. It’s based off of the premisess of using slider bars to change the height, width, and curve of a section of track. Can you make realistic tracks? You can try, but once you put it in one of it’s silly enviornments, it’s done for.

AirCoaster 3D gets a 2/5 from me. The graphics are great, and this would be a fun app to have it you were stranded on an island. If you’re looking for a portable Roller Coaster Tycoon, you’ll need to wait.

You can buy AirCoaster 3D on iTunes for $0.99 USD.
