My First TRAINZ Set
SCORE: 85
Children run train sets. So I was very
excited to hear about the release of My First TRAINZ Set on the
iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. I was even more excited when a download code
came in. But with my busy schedule I am not always able to get to games
I want to play. But I am a patient man. I got through some other
products, and jumped on board of My First TRAINZ Set.
The trains, rooms, and all the extras look great in My First TRAINZ Set.
I enjoy seeing the trains move around the track and being able to put
the camera where ever I want it. Being able to get inside the train and
look around is a real treat. On the flip side I saw some strange
graphics. For example turning and going up a hill has part of the cars
disappear into the table. I understand that they will not bend in that
situation, but it still looked odd.
The horn on the train can bring enjoyment or anger. I found this out
rather quickly. Not everyone enjoys hearing that horn go off as often as
I do. I was provided a pair of headphones to enjoy the sounds without
interfering with the work of others. Yes I am the boss, but I can
comprehend being considerate of others. At least once they communication
that with me. The music fits the theme of this app.
My First TRAINZ Set has two main modes. The first one is to drive the
trains around the tracks. The second one is to build your very own
tracks. This supplies many hours of replay for families. Parents will
most likely be roped into building tracks whereas the children will
enjoy running the train all around the tracks. I feel that price for My
First TRAINZ Set is fair with the level of content.
The controls in driving the trains in My First TRAINZ Set is extremely
simple. This makes this hand held game approachable by more family
members. There is a going forward button, a stop button, and a going
backwards button. Now the controls can get a little more complex in the
building of the train tracks. There are enough tools to make some
fantastic tracks in the various regions.
Kids are not the only ones who enjoy train tracks. I had a friend (when
I was a child) whose father had a train track all set up in his garage.
They take up a lot of space, and they take a lot of time. They are
however a lot of fun, and allow people to express creativity. My First
TRAINZ Set brings that same concept to this platform. There is something
so wonderful about being creative within a certain set of rules.
