Please, dear Lord/God/Jesus/Cthulu/Vishnu/Buddha/etc..., will there ever be an iPhone version of Trainz? I've been jonesing for a train sim ever since I got my Mac and now I can't even use this release because of my lack of pad.

I've never played a train sim, but I love sims in general, especially relaxing, sandboxy ones. Are there any kinds of goals or measures of progress? Anything to unlock? I'd just like some idea of what playing the game (minus the route creation bit) is actually like, in terms of tasks and time involved. Thanks!

Howlingwolf Well-Known Member Feb 18, 2010 2,208 0 0 Uk #9 Howlingwolf, Dec 4, 2010 Yeah there is missions as well as sandbox bjornkeizers Well-Known Member Nov 26, 2008 96 0 0 #10 bjornkeizers, Dec 4, 2010 Yes there are some missions, picking up freight and passengers. Havent tried them myself though. It's a fun train 'sim' but they definitely cut some corners. The frame rate isn't really smooth, textures look fuzzier then I prefer, and some things look copied from PC. I noticed a few references to 'left and right mouse button'. Also, it wants to connect to the net for tutorials... I really hate that. Especially since it quits the app to start safari. With updates, i'm sure it will be very enjoyable for train fans. but casual gamers should pass on it. pka4916 Well-Known Member Jun 6, 2009 2,584 0 36 Male Wisconsin #11 pka4916, Dec 4, 2010 ok, it's on my list for next week.. want to catch up with some other ones this weekend.. who knows... maybe it's on sale next week too... since it's happening a lot lately. tel Well-Known Member Jan 14, 2009 92 0 0 UK #12 tel, Dec 5, 2010 Any chance of a iPhone 4 release? Psykikgmr Well-Known Member Apr 10, 2010 327 0 0 #13 Psykikgmr, Dec 5, 2010 This app wouldn't be nearly as good on a puny screen like the iPhone 4.
