Is It Any Good?
TRAINZ SIMULATOR is clearly aimed at true enthusiasts. For a general audience, the app can be described in a single word: Intimidating. Even in its easy mode, this app is complicated -- certainly too complicated for young kids. For those who want to learn more about the locomotive world, though, there's plenty to discover here. The app has a ton of options, including letting players create their own routes and environments. And the thorough collection of train types (and accompanying information about each) is a primer for newcomers.
