A-Train HX (Xbox 360)

(Currently available in the UK/EU only) Get ready for the newest entry in the ATrain series: A-Train HX! Now on the Xbox 360! Enjoy realistic and beautiful 3D cityscapes that only the Xbox 360 can provide - all in widescreen HD! In A-Train HX, you are the creator of your own city. Start your development by building your train station serving as the centre of your city and develop the transport system around it. Watch as your city grows and takes shape into a living breathing metropolis. The processing power of the Xbox 360 allows a city landscape to be simulated down to the smallest detail. You will be amazed as you look out over the city and see buildings far into the distance. And the game's advanced simulation engine allows you to watch the progress of the city as it goes from farmland to a giant metropolis. Your city is rendered in full polygonal 3D and can be viewed from any angle.

Critic Reviews

70	DarkZero Firstly it appeals to those who want their own model railway along with a massive city, plus those who’d like to imagine what its like running a railway in a real-time environment. It’s not quite the same I grant you, but as accurate as it needs to be without going into massively deep micromanagement.
60	Xbox World 360 Magazine UK A-Train isn't a wreck, but its controls are clunky, and it looks dreadful. [May 2008, p.79]
30	Official Xbox Magazine UK The most confusing, boring game ever.
20	EuroGamer Badly designed, poorly presented, overly complicated and utterly tedious.
