Customer Reviews of Chris Sawyer's Locomotion
Don't bother I was a Transport Tycoon addict. I used to play the game for more than 10 hours a weekday, and even more in weekends. This game is by no means a sequel to TT. I didn't take the 1 star advices posted here before I buy this game and now I realize I wasted my money. Just don't waste your money and keep away. Buy something better or save it.
A Disappointment, sadly.
I bought this because I was a long-time fan of Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and I was thrilled to see an updated version of these classic games. Unfortunately, Locomotion fails to live up to the high standard of gameplay set by TTD. Granted, the graphics are much better, and the road and rail networks can be more complex, but the game still disappoints on a few levels.
<
>1. I have trouble laying railroads that work. Somehow, I'll put track together that looks like it matches, but the trains can't negotiate it. If I want that kind of frustration, I'll go back to my HO trains.
<
>2. The low-point of the original Transport Tycoon, and TTD, was the seriously brain-damaged Artificial Intelligence. The Computer players would level mountains and lay hundreds of squares of track to connect stations 5 squares apart. The computer players in Locomotion are nearly as bad.
<
>3. The game does not have a sandbox mode. I still regularly play TTD because it allows you to generate a new, random scenario every time. This freedom means that the game always has something new to try. Locomotion locks you into certain pre-made worlds, with pre-determined goals to fulfill. I got bored with it very quickly.
<
>So, in conclusion, I suggest that you dust off your old TTD cd, and get a copy of the TTDpatch to allow it to run on Windows 2000 or XP, and play that, rather than buying Locomotion.
No Steps Forward
I am a longtime fan of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and I must say I am disappointed in this supposed sequel. It offers absolutely nothing that TTD doesn't have and in at least one way (i.e., the way of building tracks and roads) is a very frustrating step back. If you have TTD, don't even consider this. Instead look at openTTD, a free game (you must have the TTD for windows disk to install). If you don't have TTD and can't get it, I guess you won't know what you are missing, so I suppose you can get Locomotion. But if you fall into this category, and you find yourself playing locomotion and saying, "Why didn't the programmer do it this way?" know that the answer is he did do it that way, 10 years ago. This is a downgrade from TTD and I will never play this game as long as I have openTTD. A clear lack of effort on the part of Chris Sawyer.
