Reviews
A little rough
Dranorter
It’s great to have this game on my iPad, but I would’ve preferred a more pure approach to the graphics. It looks silly to mix old pixel art with little floating balloons telling what’s in the trucks. And I preferred the old auto-generated faces in the DOS game to the weird CGI faces in this version.
Can’t edit roads
greenharoguy
Not being able to remove roads pretty much ruins this whole game, as you can never put stations in great places nor can you edit an area a bit better then how it haphazardly started. This was one of my favorite childhood games and I literally have thousand of hours on it from its PC days, but again. No road editing just ruins it to the point that it’s not even enjoyable to play
Great Game But Has Flaws
absant
Been a fan of TTD for a long time and this game definitely captures that overall feel. I could play this for hours but one flaw that sticks out is the horrible path-finding AI. I would set up a road path that connects three towns and it’s very straight-forward. I would have a bus that would touch each town, and it would appear it would go from the first to the second. I expect it to go to the third but instead it turned back to go back to the first town. Why would it do that, I don’t know. This always happens the first time around, which leads me to think that it’s orders that it’s following doesn’t get updated.
Horrible AI
Fixit901
The road vehicles get lost, the trains will only wait 30 seconds at a junction before reversing course and jamming up the tracks, boats take years to deliver cargo. Can not edit or clear roads unless built by you. PITA to edit your own roads or tracks. Only 4 angles or views available and are often obscured by buildings or trees. Can not make a custom scenario or choose beginning year. Limited choices on vehicles. Fun for about one hour until more complexity and efficiency is required.
As good as the old PC game
St_Every_An
I played Transport Tycoon on my PC for more hours than I care to admit back in my high school years... and I am rapidly catching up to that tally on my iPad! The game brings the same graphics, gameplay and challenges though adds some newer vehicles (A380 or B777 anyone?) as well as some new scenarios. No need to buy in-app additional content like most games today, this is a fantastic scenario builder which helps while away the hours on long flights or just for when you should be in bed sleeping :)
Horrible path finding
Marco v6
Game would be brilliant if it weren’t for the horrible path finding of the busses and trains. As soon as they have too many options they will get stuck in a loop or simply take the wrong track. Unfortunately this makes it very difficult to play.
Good But a Small Problem

Broken

Path finding is terrible, especially on buses. They seem to go down every single dead end in their path, like the driver is blind and using trial and error to find their way to the next stop. Not much of a reason to do anything other than passenger transport. Stay away.
