Publisher's description of Subway Scramble

From PlayFirst:

Welcome to Subway Scramble, the action puzzle simulation that takes you on a rapid transit romp through the epic subway systems of New York, London, Paris, Moscow, and Seoul. It's a worldwide wreck of snarled subways, mangled metros, and lost passengers. It's up to you to make sure each subway system is returned to normal, and that all of the passengers return to their proper destinations. It won't be easy. Multiple train cars, overlapping railway lines, and a wide array of color-coded destinations all make Subway Scramble a unique and mesmerizing challenge.

Editor's review of Subway Scramble

• "Subway Scramble"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Subway Scramble 1

The game is a tricky and addictive one mainly aimed to train your fast pressing on mouse keys than your logic and knowledge. The Subway Scramble installation is majorly troubled by additional downloads from the Internet. However, when the game starts you immediately get caught up in the action. The main aim is to deliver passengers from one station to another controlling railways tracks and, on upper levels, rides of several trains in different directions to avoid collisions. Graphics of the game are far from perfect and there is nothing you can configure but screen size, music, and sound volume. Along the way the train can catch a lightning bolt and run faster. We enjoyed the game although its graphics could have been much better.

  Version: Subway Scramble 1

  "Not worth the $20 to buy the full version"

  by timh111 on March 21, 2005

  Pros: Keeps you thinking and planning ahead.

  Cons: Graphics reminded me of past Atari games. Not enough time to try all the options. Would have bought it for (maybe) $9.95 but NOT for $19.95!! Game disconnects you when your time runs out (20 mins.)
