ScreamRide Reviews
Screamride is actually three games in one – four, if you count the sandbox mode – and none of them are probably what you expect
ScreamRide becomes less fun as the mechanics get more involved and the requirements to unlock new levels rise
If only it had been considerably cheaper, or considerably bigger in scope, this could've been a fun ride, but as it is ScreamRide is not really worth the price of entry.
Striking and varied, Screamride is a carefree experience with a character of its own.

Screamride is simple and a lot of fun, especially for those with patience and desire to design an attraction. Testing and playing with the default mountains is fun, but there is nothing like exploding your creativity and building an attraction from scratch. The future of this title is promising, but the community will decide if the creation of attractions will pay off. If you are looking for fun without ties and put your imagination to the test, do not hesitate to give this installment a try and share with the world the roller coaster of your dreams.

If you love coaster creation, you're going to enjoy ScreamRide. If you love destroying things and watching buildings crumble, well, you'll also enjoy ScreamRide; but, you should probably seek help.
A completely insane concept, ScreamRide is a decent coaster sim combined with a brilliant physics game and a complex yet engaging level designer.
Screamride is an odd case of a game where I enjoy it while I'm playing it, sinking hours at a time into mastering a screamrider track, finding the perfect pressure point to detonate a demolition level, or tweaking a roller coaster of my own creation for the best balance of speed and excitement. But the hooks aren't fully there, and when I step away from playing I'm neither eager nor excited to return.
ScreamRide delivers an interesting and exciting mix of high-speed thrills with some fun destruction puzzle elements thrown in for good measure. What we really need to keep an eye out for, however, is how the community will shape up after launch.
ScreamRide is a decent game that could have been much better, but it is still worth owning just for the sandbox alone.
This is such a different kind of game from most of the stuff we've seen lately, however, that it feels distinct.
Screamride is unlike anything else I have played, and certainly packs a ton of fun.
Screamride is a very entertaining game on the Xbox One that successfully creates that virtual roller-coaster experience from start to finish. There's some great replay value included in the game and some very good use of real-world physics with some over the top challenges for players to complete.
A welcome return for the roller coaster genre
"Screamride" could have been a respectable evolution of the popular "RollerCoaster Tycoon" franchise, but it veered off the track along the way. The roller coaster design sections contain strokes of genius, but that genius is constantly mired by boring gameplay that make up two thirds of the game. This lack of cohesion creates a seriously bumpy ride.
While creating and destroying roller coasters in Screamride is highly enjoyable, the majority of the game's fun is buried underneath some frustrating design choices.
ScreamRide's fun is fleeting as the collection of mini-game physics puzzles recycles its material. The game has some solid mechanics, but is a shallow experience overall.
I had a lot more fun playing ScreamRide than I thought I would have. For the asking price, you get a solid amount of fun, varied gameplay, and solid audio to top it off. The only thing that can drag this game down is the camera controls at times, and some issues with aiming in Demolition mode, but these issues could well be tweaked later on. So strap yourself in and hang on, because it's going to be a wild ride!
There is fun to be had with ScreamRide's creation tools, but it's buried under a long slog of uninteresting gameplay modes and the faintest hints of a narrative.
ScreamRide's three modes and robust design suite are briefly entertaining, but the fun doesn't last. Lacking soul and connective tissue, this minigame collection never quite gels or comes together into anything particularly memorable.
