![]() ![]() Just connecting two stations with a road or rail, and setting up a transport route between the two can feel like a process of so many menus that you may as well be going through the regulation to set up a transport network in the real world. As these areas grow, the strain on your infrastructure will also grow, but you’ll be able to earn more money from the swelling population.Īt first you’ll wonder if you’ll ever even understand the game, though. You’ll need to construct roads, rail, and stations in order to facilitate the movement of goods and people around, and in doing that, assist the development of urban areas. In this way it’s closer to a game like the A-Train series. Where Industry Giant was all about building a network of factories and farms, and then transport the produce of these businesses to shops and the like in order to supply populations with goods for consumption (and therefore helping the cities to grow), Transport Giant is purely about building up transport infrastructure, and moving goods and people around. The game’s real strength is, of course, is in the detailed simulation it provides. In other words, as primitive as it might look, Transport Giant’s aesthetics are enough that you’ll quickly feel ownership over what you’re creating, and for that you’ll love its rough edges. As you can see from the screenshots, the presentation is exceedingly simple, but it’s also oddly appealing for the sheer sense of scale that it presents, and it is still enjoyable to watch a massive transport network slowly open up and generate for you massive in-game profit. For the most part, this is a very stable game, so I don’t need to repeat my review of Industry Giant 2. ![]() There are a couple of minor bugs in Transport Giant, to get that out of the way first, but nothing that I’ve found to be game breaking at this stage. ![]() For all that these games share in common, they do have a completely different focus, so as far as I’m concerned, they’re both complementary and essential for genre fans. Transport Giant, like its stablemate, can also be completely overwhelming to just jump into, but rewarding once you’re on top of its systems. Transport Giant is a very similar game to Industry Giant 2 aesthetically, and both are super-hardcore simulators that are very heavy on the data crunching and minute details. I can make up for that review with this review of Transport Giant. Related reading: For an alternative transport simulator, A-Train 3D on the 3DS is also really good. Thankfully the bug was patched, leaving my review redundant, but with the game working perfectly fine, I’ve being playing it regularly since. With no communication about the bug being patched, I had no choice to hit the game hard in the review. At the time when I reviewed it was plagued by a critical bug that would cause save games to fail, and for a simulation game that ruined the entire experience. Despite being an older game (and quite primitive looking), I really love that game. Late last year, UIG Entertainment released a port of Industry Giant 2 on PlayStation 4. ![]()
