As a child, everyone dreamed of becoming astronauts, firemen, doctors... And I've always liked trains. Yes and not only train. Judging by how many consecutive years the developers of N3V Games simulators do train, you can safely assume that in early childhood dreamed of becoming an engineer is not only me. And now, after more than a year after the release of Trainz Simulator for iOS, all the fans to sit in the cab of the locomotive virtual developers pleased continuation.
As in the first part, in Trainz Simulator 2, we can make a variety of races on a variety of routes. Compared with the original, slightly improved graphics, but it's worth noting that it is still nothing more than a "level". Probably not the most advanced picture-in game there because of the size of the routes themselves. Fans of meditative witness the changing landscape along the route of the locomotive has to come to mind, as a "check-in" from the depot to the end station can safely take up to 30 minutes of time. Real time. Average.
Also simulator like it and those who wanted to become a builder or architect separate mode where you can chat on your iOS-device build up your own itinerary is provided for you. Always wanted to ride from the train station of the city to a favorite garden? - No problem! In Design view, you can recreate the route in sufficient detail down to the trees and houses along the route.
To create a route you can share with other players by uploading it to the server developers. From there, anyone can download the route to your device and take a ride on it. And for lovers of Society in the game provided the multiplayer, where together with three friends, you can make joint race. Unfortunately, the multiplayer fairly empty, but I think it's a matter of time.
If you have just decided to join the role of the driver, the game includes a training mode (that is, if my memory serves me, It was exactly the same in the first part), where you can learn the basics in train control, coupler structures and switching arrows on ways. All control is divided into two types: simple and complex. In the first mode, you will have access to a single slider, which is responsible for the speed (both forward and backward) and in an extended, complicated operation of controls becomes three more, while the part is responsible for the speed of the - for the brakes and so Further. For a more complete "immersion" I recommend it a second control option. But if you just want to relax and leisurely ride on one of the routes, then you can safely choose the easy mode and the type of trip - "Free".
By the way, about the types of routes. Initially available to you are not so many "tracks", but each has its own peculiarities. Besides free trips can be various conditions, such as observance of the time schedule by one stop to the other (you do not want your virtual passengers were late?), delivery of goods and others. In addition, over time, the developers will add new free seats for travel. And during their expectations you can always pick up something from the routes taken community.
Speaking of free. I knowingly identified this word, as now, if you're tired of the same routes, you can download new ones. Of course, paying a little (33 rubles).
If you look at the game as a whole, Trainz Simulator 2 - it is not a continuation of the series, and refinement of an existing framework in the form of the first part with some differences. I think that the third part will be all the same the first simulator of the railway, but with some additions and improvements, but the backbone remains the same. However, all fans sit in the virtual driver's seat, as well as fans of the railways - my personal recommendation. For us these simulators there is very little, so N3V Games thanks for what they do.
