Densha de Go! EX (Japan)

A train driving simulation from Taito, Densha de Go! EX puts the player at the controls of locomotives on faithfully reproduced Japanese lines, where you must keep to timetables, manage acceleration and braking and stop precisely at platforms. The singular, demanding and surprisingly gripping concept rests on rigour and precision rather than action. The railway fidelity built its reputation. Japan only, the title stays niche. For a fan of offbeat simulation, a train enthusiast or a collector, the title keeps a definite singularity and contemplative charm.
