  • Summary: Chris Sawyer's Locomotion challenges you to build and operate a money-making transport network by linking passengers and cargo to their destinations. Put together a profitable company by constructing transportation routes between growing cities and their industries. Race against other companies to make the most lucrative connections and rake in the cash. Or just sit back and enjoy the detailed world in action as you build and play with moving vehicles such as trains, buses, ships, and aircraft. Construct a variety of vehicles: trains, buses, trams, trucks, aircraft and ships. Discover time periods from 1900 to 2000, with appropriate vehicle types, buildings, industries, and background music. Connect roads and tracks with an easy-to-use interface familiar to any "RollerCoaster Tycoon" fan. Compete against up to 14 other simulated transport companies. Challenge a friend with head-to-head multiplayer. Build your transportation empire in three different areas of the world ? North American, British, and Alpine. Delve into over 40 pre-designed scenarios, or randomly generate your own unique scenarios. [Atari]… Expand

    Locomotion hits on all cylinders as a transportation business simulator. If you are not stuck on the other areas of city simulation, you are sure to be satisfied.

    All said and done, Locomotion is a good sim, but it does feel dated and in particular seems geared towards the more hardcore transport or tycoon enthusiast.

    My biggest objection to this game, however, is just that it's not the "spiritual sequel" to "Transport Tycoon" -- it IS "Transport Tycoon." It's not even "Transport Tycoon Deluxe," the enhanced version of the game that fans have been playing all these years.

    Not without flaws; still very addictive but needs critical fixes to flaws in the game. You can easily waste hours on this game.

    This is a game of substance, it does not need fancy graphics. I can take that. But at least the substance should be there, otherwise I keep playing TTD with the patch! Ideas: improve train signalling, train timeouts when waiting at signals, vehicle breakdowns; make it quicker to replace vehicles; restore the stock market; add a way of customizing the gameplay, which is far too unflexible. … Expand
