Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3
SCORE: 80
I am not a subway person, a train person, or a rail person. Why do I
tell you that? Because I really like Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in
Suburbs #1 Vol 3 on the Nintendo 3DS. This challenging downloadable only
hand held video game is fun for me. Maybe it is my age, or the fact that
I have never gotten that deep into driving a rail vehicle before. I
enjoyed trying to get to the station on time.
The one thing about Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3 I
am not thrilled about is trying to stop at exactly the right spot. If
you stop too early, you have to start again. Stop too far away and you
instantly fail. I wish I could have stopped a bit early and gotten a
small penalty for stopping too early. These big machines do not stop on
a dime. Properly planning is required to pull one over at the station
(so to speak).
Families playing Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3 are
met with four options on the main menu screen. They are All aboard!,
Operating Records, Library, and Settings. The music in Japanese Rail Sim
3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3 is fantastic. The images are photo
realistic. It looks like the real rail line. At least that is what I
have been told. I personally have not been to Japan to verify it. Why
not? For one I do not speak the language and would have problems
understanding where to go, and what to do.
Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3 is constantly providing
the player directions on what to do. Things like increase your speed
because you are running behind. Or decrease your speed because you are
running a bit ahead. I personally like running a bit fast so it gave me
time to properly slow down and stop at the station. That consumes time,
and most of the time I stopped too early. There is a certain finesse to
Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3 that an ex-body builder
is not always good at.
As I write this review Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 Vol 3
is on sale for $3.99. That is a fair price for this educational, and
challenging rail road simulation game. I would love to see all four
volumes of Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 release in the
physical copy format on one cartridge. I know plenty of people that
would get into this hand held video game.
