‘Paper Train’ Is A Superb Traffic Management Game App

[Editor's Note: This review was written on May 31, 2011, pre-dating the launch of our News section on August 29, 2011. It is being re-published so it can be properly archived in the News section.] Paper Train by Istom Games Kft. is the best traffic management game app we have played in a long time. Although this app doesn’t introduce any new elements in the genre, it is remarkable well done and darn enjoyable. Players are charged with the responsibility of preventing the collision of trains and cows being run over by trains. Players only have two actions to perform: (1) turns signals red or green to stop or release trains, respectively (2) touch cows to change their direction. We like that this game isn’t clouded with more actions because so much attention needs to be paid to the multitude of trains and tracks on the screen.

The game starts off nice and easy with a couple of trains and railways but becomes increasingly more difficult with more trains, trains with varying numbers of cars and more cows. Additionally, train tracks will intersect at multiple spots and tunnels will appear to temporarily obscure trains. It really is a lot of fun to prevent trains from colliding and protecting wayward cows.

The doodle like graphics are very well done. We especially like that the overhead view it taken from afar. That is, you have a very good perspective on everything that is going to quickly assess situations and take appropriate actions.

Paper Train is a wonderful traffic management app and one we strongly recommend you pick up. Read our other app reviews by clicking here. AppPicker Rating: 5 / 5 Stars App Store links: Paper Train Other apps by Istom Games
