Toca Train
What's It About?
In TOCA TRAIN, kids pretend they are the conductor of the train. They can view the train from outside or from inside the conductor's booth, looking out on the tracks. As the train moves along, kids decide what speed to go and whether or not to stop at each station. There are three stations to pick up passengers and three more for picking up cargo. Kids decide when and where to drop off and pick up passengers and cargo. They also get to pull the whistle!
Is It Any Good?
Toca Train encourages kids to explore and discover. While the tasks may get a little repetitive for some, kids who love trains and making up scenarios can get a lot of enjoyment out of the simulation. There are some cute touches like the ability to pull the whistle on the train and the fun variety of passengers. Toca Train is like a fun playground where kids explore and play.
