Train Simulator PRO 2018

Blows every other simulator out of the water. Looks really nice on the IPhone XS and I love that the missions actually give you purpose in operating the trains. Very realistic controls with electrobrakes and airbrakes. Very well-polished interface as well. Love all the different trains (although there could be more) and the fact that you need to compete missions to earn money to buy them. Missing one star because I think the camera feature needs to be proved. First, allow zooming from inside the cab! On a small phone screen sometimes would like to zoom in on the beautiful scenery. Second, allow a further zoom out when outside the train. Would love to be able to take in a view of a whole train within the highly detailed environment. Hope the devs continue development of this particular app because they are really into something here!

The game is great. The controls are simple and somewhat realistic. The graphics are good for a phone and it’s fun to play. But there’s an issue and I’m not sure if it’s intended or not. But it’s the fact that I have an issue where the game says I failed to use my horn at a grade crossing even though I did. I even sounded my horn before the game was telling me I should and I still get the fine. And it’s constant too. I can’t sound my horn to stop it and it gets really annoying really fast. If you could please fix that, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, it would be cool if you added more cars like auto racks or flatbeds specifically made for trailers. It would also be cool if you added SD type locomotives and be able to switch the orientation around so there could be locomotives that are facing backwards. Heck, you could have it so you could have an end of train locomotive or be able to edit the color of it as well. I could go on and on for suggestions for this game. But the fine thing, I’d love for it to be fixed. Either it’s a bug or I missed something in the mini tutorial. If you do take my suggestions, I thank you a lot.

TRAINZ finally has competition. Once you get into proactive rather than reactive gameplay and understand the relationship between hard braking and brake damage & comfort and also over speeding and engine damage it is a great game model. All I can say is more, more, more. Trains, cargo, cities. The ability to sell your old trains off would be nice even at a lower price. Complete control of consist layout, engines wherever you want them front, mid, end. Ability to zoom out more. Environment change with state, desert, mountain, etc. Along with appropriate weather. And more lighting effects on trains not just engines either and on buildings and at stops, street lights, cars etc. Change paint color so cars match engines at least for passenger? This might be a bit much but an interactive train yard here and there to perform shunting missions and load unload freight? That would be fricken awesome! Well done Mageeks, well done. So when does the ship sim come out? (Wink, wink)

This game is a great game but It would be a whole lot better if there weren’t as many speed zones throughout the game. It gets really annoying to have to start and stop every five minutes because you have a 45mph zone and a 30mph zone coming up every five minutes. Another bad thing about this game is the comfort level of you passengers which decides how much money you make after each mission. That’s all good but even when you are going the speed limit coming into a station and you have to stop to unload you passengers your comfort level drops which is ridiculous because how can you unload your passengers if you don’t stop? Yes I understand that if you stop to quick this would be a problem but we’re talking about stopping slowly and it still hurts your comfort level. I’ll give this game two stars only because the rules are horrible. Engines cost way to much and get damaged too easily. This game could be wonderful and fun but it’s not because of the rules of the game.

“You must stop for emergency repairs, pay 4000 gold.” You need fuel? Give us gold. You should really upgrade the durability of your engine so it doesn’t break down every 10 minutes, spend some gold sucker. This GAME is built around IAPs, gems and gold and stupid upgrades only added in to milk your wallets. There isn’t a route map of any kind, which makes changing switches totally pointless yet the game allows you to change them. The screen shots in the App Store are not true to the game you will end up downloading. There are only 2 camera options, cab view and a close up aerial view, definitely NOT a distant aerial view like what is shown the screen shots. Why do no oncoming trains have their lights on? Why do all trains in this app pull exactly three cars? This game does absolutely nothing original and there are better train based sim/games on the App Store. The PRO in the title must refer to professional IAP implementation because there is nothing pro about the gameplay.
