Traffic Giant (PC)

Traffic Giant is another one of those 'tycoon' games that involves the player developing a new transport system for a given city. Firstly, as Traffic Giant is now over four years old it means that this game can now be bought for as little as £5 new - therefore it makes an excellent budget buy. Secondly, as it is quite an old game, a new computer won't be needed to play it. In fact anything about four or five years old should be able to play it (though check the recommended minimum specs). There are two types of game play. The first involves being an entreprneur. This is where you pick a city - of which there are over thirty to ...  Read the complete review

We've all complained about the transport in our local area at some time or another, well this is your chance to put that right. Why we all love this type of game I don't think anyone will know, but they're just so addictive once you start playing them. Anyway, this game from Jo Wood Productions, puts you in charge of the transport in your own city, and the object is to keep things running smoothly while keeping customers happy. Sounds easy? Wait until you start playing! The game has three difficulty levels for you to choose from. Realistic Mode: Where the inhabitants of your city behave just as they would normally in real life. ...  Read the complete review

The idea of Traffic Giant is brilliant, I mean how many of us sit in a traffic jam thinking that it would never be like that if you were in control? The game looks very good and the control system is easy but yet combines a lot of functions. I admit that I was expecting a transport tycoon/simcity type game, but I found something totally different. It is a good game but too much attention has been given to the less visible items of gameplay like different people going to different places. This would make the game better if not for the lack of real challenges. All the maps are supposedly different in many ways, this doesn't seem enough as I use the same ...  Read the complete review

This was a pretty average run of the mill sort of game which wasn't as much fun to play as I had imagined it would be. You have a city grid to play in, the graphics aren't to bad (sort of sim city2000 style) but they certainly aren't anything stunning. You set up your transport company and plan routes puttingin stops for your vehicles to pick up passengers, you can use buses or lay more expensive tramways and railways. There is competition from other companies but there is little to do in the way of managing the simulation once you have planned your routes to get the correct type of inhabitants to the correct type of workplace. ...  Read the complete review
