THE BAD:
-No depth
-Absolutely annoying commentator person who goes "you think you'll win" all the time
-Repetitive
-Doesn't last longer than a slice of bread
-All trains are fictional
SUMMARY:
Even though this game has entered new ground by being the first ever train racing game. There's still a lot of ways you can criticise it. There's probably a reason why there aren't many train racing games out there. It's because it's hard to make it fun.
After the first race you suddenly realise that X-treme Express contains nothing in the means of depth, gameplay or decent music. The game modes are limited and eventually having to de-rail every train you see starts to get repetitive and tedious.
So, the only reasons for buying this game are if:
1. You want to buy a cheap present for someone you don't particularly like that...
