Roll Rev 99 Tracks

The Xperia Play is turning into a treasure trove for games you might have missed the first time around.

The latest in this line of older games coming back for more is the snappily titled Rollercoaster Revolution 99 Tracks (listed as Roll Rev 99 Tracks on the Android Market). There's nothing new in this version, but it's still worth a look.

Especially if you like accidentally killing people.

The game is simple. You're a rollercoaster controller, and you have two buttons – the brake and the accelerator, or left and right on the D-pad. You have to guide three carriages full of people safely through 99 tracks, collecting coins as you go.

There are speed boosts, jump extenders, and protective shields scattered around the rides as well, and if you want to get the highest scores you're going to need them.

Getting your customers from the start to the end of the coaster is reasonably simple. You can even kill the majority of them and still finish the level. What's not so easy is collecting every single coin along the way.

The coins require gravity-defying leaps, seemingly impossible braking, and nerves of steel. Each of the tracks is well designed, and requires fast finger work and quick thinking if you want to be the lord of the rails.

There's pass-the-handset multiplayer on offer as well, and a Survival mode in which you have to get as far as you can in the game with just three carriages.

Rollercoaster Revolution 99 Tracks is a lot of fun. It's well-designed, and deeper than you'd think at first glance. It won't show off what your Xperia Play will do, but it will waste a few hours, and they'll be an enjoyable few hours.

And after playing it, you'll never get on a rollercoaster again.
