Trainz Simulator
SCORE: 88
I have a son that absolutely loves trains. So he helps me review any
train based video game. The most recent train title to come our way is
Trainz Simulator. This iPad game steams into the Family Friendly Gaming
Nation during a time it is on sale for ninety-nine cents. That is an
absolute steal for this game.
Graphically Trainz Simulator looks okay. There was a lot of detail and
effort put into the trains. I really enjoyed looking at the different
engines. Trust me I was not the only one who loved to see them. The
graphics out and about are decent. There are some details lacking inside
the cab, and looking at trees.
The various camera views are neat. I learned that I had to be careful
playing around in the map view because the speed limit changes on the
tracks. I wound up blowing through a few towns at seventy miles per hour
when I was supposed to be doing only thirty or forty miles per hour.
Whoops!
There are some nice train sounds in Trainz Simulator. Make sure you do
not keep the horn on though - that can get annoying real quick. Trainz
Simulator includes a neat little tutorial that will help you learn how
to play. There is an easy control mode where you should be able to
figure out how to control the game without the tutorial. I messed around
with the tutorial after figuring out how to play this iPad game myself.
Trainz Simulator includes a couple of different modes, routes, and
objectives. This game is easily worth the ninety-nine cents. In fact it
is worth three to four times that in my opinion. If you are smart, and
like trains then you will snap up Trainz Simulator right after reading
this review. Hey you could stop reading it and go buy the app - I don't
mind.
Trainz Simulator is a solid train simulator on the iPad platform. It
reminds me of a Personal Computer (PC) game in so many different ways.
Although PC games generally look a lot better. I could still tell what
everything in Trainz Simulator was. Kids love to take the trains for a
spin in Trainz Simulator.
