The idea is to follow all railway signals, slow down for speed limits, stop for red lights and sound the horn for overpasses, then stop at the relevant stations in time. Interaction is limited to announcing departure and signals. Do it right and you are awarded with bonus points. However, the voice recognition is a little moody at times. I guess it's designed for male train drivers only.
Comments Let's get right down to it.
Driving videogame trains is dull. I enjoyed seeing the familiar scenery, making passengers fall over by braking too hard and unlocking new trains, but the interaction and the actual gameplay is far too limited to last. Sure, there is the occasional bonus game that has you drive as close to another train as possible and sounding the horn never fails to instill a certain Homer Simpson-like glee in me, but there's just not enough to do. I don't care how highly Famitsu and co. tend to rate the Densha De Go games. These titles are neither accurate simulations nor enjoyable arcade videogames.
