SteamTrains Complete 4+

This graphics of this app may fail in the eyes of a picky app downloader, but to anyone who enjoys trains, model railroading, and just watching the smoke trailing behind a little locomotive, it is perfect fun! This is especially true of young children, especially my 2-year-old son, who doesn't care that the graphics aren't perfect or that the panning isn't smooth. It's not a big deal to him, and I hope it isn't to you, either. It is a very fun app to load and drive an assortment of trains! I am giving this app 4 stars, and if more work is done on it that will meet even higher levels of enjoyment, then I will return and increase the app rating to 5!

Its a great game, but it definitely NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. Sometimes the green train falls apart from its coal train and passenger carriage off the tracks onto a black hole. The 5th level with "Thomas" stops after the first round no matter what. It really doesn't look like a great Mac game. If the graphics looked a little more realistic you'd be able to capture a much larger audience than 5 year olds. Maybe I'll come back and rate it if it improves.

The game is built on the Unity engine, and when you run it on your desktop computer, it first prompts you for what resulution you want to run at. If you choose full screen, the speed slider will be only half visible (the left half). The 3D graphics are okay, but the menu layout and the buttons are poorly designed. It just doesn't feel like a good Mac application.
