Game overview

Baby Panda Train Driver splits into two halves that feed each other. First you put a train together from its parts, seeing how the engine, carriages and cargo boxes fit into a working whole, and then you run it. Driving brings small jobs at each stop, checking tickets, looking through luggage, lining passengers up and loading freight, so the game is a sequence of tidy little tasks rather than one continuous ride.

This title is best suited to young children who like vehicle role-play broken into small tasks.
