I now know where the developers put the flaws from the many good games they produce. I can withstand a few flaws in a game but this game seems to be a big collection of flaws. Little or no explanation about how things work or how to lay things out properly meant the second mission was failed a number of times because I had to spend time actually working out how things worked. Then game the turned to trains, I thought roads were hard to get to grips with but it seems Trains are a nightmare that not even Einstein could workout. Next was the amazing funky non intuitive system for getting goods moving from place to place. Not even the manual helped, it seems you're expected to already know every thing about the game via some form of osmosis, because the developers seem to think an obvious tutorial is not needed.Īfter much cursing I finally managed, to work out how to put down a depot and get a road connected to it. The amazing lack of tutorial on both the original game and expansion makes the journey of self discovery seem like a simple one. If I said I had to restart the first level more than 12 times I would not be joking. When running the game in x8 speed mode the sound of those horses makes you wan to become a Buddhist monk, because silence is golden. The repetitive nature of some of the sound effects is enough to make you want to force the space bar through your ear drum to make them stop. The ambient sounds were okay, they did nothing much to enhance the game but they were functional and served a purpose. Well the first thing I did with this game was to kill the music it was so annoying all I wanted was to turn it off. Even Age of Empires 2 had better graphics than Transport Giant. In an age where 3D Graphics are the in thing, a game which uses 2D isometric graphics really suffers. It reminded me of many of the early RTS games, which suffered from little or no animation and where the ability to distinguish buildings becomes a task. Even the animation cannot save the graphics on this game. I really wanted to like this game I gave it a good shot and parts of it I thought were good but on the whole you can enjoy a game with a few flaws but not one with the amount his game has.Īt first glance they look okay, but when you start to play the game and get up close you can see the tell tale marks of highly compressed graphics. I was really looking forward to this game, I saw the original in the shops shortly after it came out, I was going to buy it then, but I had no cash spare. Yep Transport Giant - Down Under, well it's under something if not most things. Open the "GameStatus.xml" file in a text editor and change the display settings values to the following: Īgain use the resolution you want in place of 1680x1050.I have just come from praising a game I thought I would hate now I find my self loathing a game I thought I would love. Open file "tg.ini" in a text editor and addĠ:Mode20=1680x1050x32圆0:1 (Replace 1680x1050 with the resolution you want) However with a few edits to the games files you can have any resolution you want. Unless you have a 1024x768, 1280x1024 or 1280x800 display your going to be rather stuck. The problem is that the only resolution options available are very limited. Go to Program Files > Transport Giant Goldĭue to the graphics engine used the game will look bad if not played at the native resolution of your display. To fix it:Ĭlick on the bottle you have transport giant installed to This is an issue on the game under windows as well. Saving (This can be easily fixed to work - see below)Ĭhanging the Resolution (This requires editing game files - see below) Gets stuck at the insert disk two moment. I've tried playing both the new re-release of transport giant (2012 Gold Edition) and the original multi-disk retail release V1.0, under cross over recently.
