|   Locomotion is the sequel to the highly rated "Transport Tycoon". It was first published in 2004 and is labelled under the genre "business games". In Locomotion, you start the game as the head of a small transport business. As time goes by your business grows if you succeed. The towns and cities expand if their transport demands are met. Also, in some of the scenarios (there are different levels of difficulty) there is a certain time limit that you have to achieve your challenge before. It is a great improvement over Transport Tycoon. - Spoiler:
Main Review:
Locomotion has average AI, they react to different situations and you cannot sabotage their transport systems anymore. Stations with through lines are now easier to build - by setting waypoints. You can really exploit tram travel (to expand towns for goods deliveries). As only certain buildings accept goods/food.
There are different stages of difficulty, some scenarios are pretty easy with others being extremely challenging. Overall there is a nice set of scenarios to work your way through - and possibly create your own. Locomotion has an average sized fanbase, with there being over 10,000 free addons available to download.
The downsides are that Locomotion cannot handle junctions/passing loops/through stations etc very well. In some cases a vehicle will ignore the "route through waypoint command".
Overall, Locomotion is a fun game to play with a variety of scenarios to play,download or create.
