TRAINZ SIMULATOR 2 REVIEW DRIVER

For one - it's barely a game, and moreover how much you enjoy it depends on whether you've ever done a spot of trainspotting or not. In getting into this, the game will last you forever - certainly more than you'll ever get out of any other $1 game.

You can just drive around, or in true model train fashion, create your own routes. There's plenty of options to let you be as hands on or hands off with the game as you'd like.

TRAINZ SIMULATOR 2 REVIEW DRIVER

There are a lot of different trains to drive around, and you can switch between a first person view as the driver of the train to a variety of environmental views. It's true sandbox gaming, and if it's the kind of sand you like to play with, you'll enjoy this. They will derail if you've sped them too far over the speed limit, but no, they don't explode in a spectacular ball of flame. The goal is simply to drive one (or multiple) trains around. it's unfortunate it's so technically flawedДЄnd, if you're not into trains, the 'gameplay' will bore the living hell out of you. The 'passengers' are a completely unanimated, blurred mess. If you expect to see some life on the station platforms where passengers are presumedly waiting for you to pick them up, then you're in for a disappointment.

The 3D visuals are primitive, the landscape is empty, and there's some odd bugs, and if you're 'controlling' multiple trains, you're in for a nightmare in managing them simultaneously. Technically, it's not especially well-made. So, as a pop quiz - are you the kind of person that likes making model railways? If so, then you'll probably enjoy this. Why this game is so high on the overall charts, I don't really understand, because it's clearly not a game for everyone. So is it worth the discount? Unfortunately, not really.ДЄt least, not for everyone.

If you've ever wanted to be a train driver. It's also an Australian production, coming to us courtesy of N3V Games. Trainz Simulator has shot to #2 on the Australian iPad paid Apps store for games, following a huge price discount, down to a little more than a $1.
