I just bought it - it crashes. It happens when I am trying to build the more advanced transportation (trains, trams, etc). I wish there was a fix - it was a good game up until the constant crashes. What a dissapointment.

I LOVE IT!!!

I've read some other reviews about the game crashing, its because you need to download the patches and also loook at the system requirements!!! To download the patches, I used [a website] and its NEVER crashes after I installes the patches. Okay, about the game, its really cool and I think it would be a great investment because it brings you hours of fun and mabey about 3 seconds of boredom when it loads!!! It also has good graphics and ok sound. When you want to choose a line and you have a lot of them, you have to keep on pushing the right arrow or left arrow which is annoying to most, but not to me!!! I basically LOVE this game and I recommend buying it!!! I've seen it in a store for [more] but Amozon.com has it for [less]!!!...

Great Game

I have both version the 1.0 which I bought from cdaccess.com and I just bought the us version 1.3 and have not experience any problems with the game at all on both version, all works with all the updates and patchs for 1.0 all the campaign works and it is great, I susgest if you haveing problems with your video card get one that has like 64 mb's of memory on it so it won't take up to many resorces of your machine, that can solve most of the freeze ups and get window XP when it comes out cuase windows 98, Me any of them on to long will with anygame you play to long will give you errors most of the time you just reboot machine and you can continue to play, you don't have to take my word for it all I know I have no problem with the game whats so ever. Go buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Extremely Addictive!

One of those pc games you can't walk away from. I guarantee you'll get hooked once you start playing. I was doing some temp work in the Washington, DC metro area and fired up the game on my laptop (while I was waiting for my bus). One metrobus driver asked me what I was playing and I got a kick out of telling him I was planning bus routes! He shrugged his head and laughed...but I thought it was amusing.

System Crashes

There are serious bugs once you get to advanced stages. I have had repeated screen freezes and system crashes. Twice my system has been so seriously corrupted that I have had to re-format my hard drive and re-load everything. The only common denominator in those cases was this game. After the last re-format, I will no longer load or play Traffic Giant. That's too bad because this game had a lot of potential.

Great game!

So few good games these days have such low system requirements: 233mhz, 32MB RAM, 2MB Video, 4x CD-ROM, 240MB space. I purchased this game and installed it on my 800mhz, 320MB RAM, XP Pro system and it works perfectly. Though I haven't attempted to install any of the patches/updates yet. Great job JoWood! You may have a new return customer.

Bought European release

I own a copy of the full game (I bought the European version through a company in Memphis) The gameplay is very original. I especially enjoy being able to choose different difficulty settings and maps to play. My only complaint is that occasionally the game would crash (recently reformatted drive and re-installed. Haven't gotten around to playing again yet, so I don't know if the problem went away) and lock up my system. The patch and a fresh install of the video driver did help some, but the problem persisted. I'm hoping that the game will run better on the newly formatted drive with correct video drivers.

Great concept, but it's full of bugs!

After successfully installing this game and downloading the latest patch from the website.. version 1.3. I got the game up and running. Unfortunately only half of the game works. There are two distict play modes: Campaign and Endless. Only the Campaign works, the Endless portion does not successfully load and leaves your system hanging without a possibility of shutting the application down. You have to unplug your system and do a harsh reboot with all of your fancy utilities checking the system for errors. It's a real pain.

I've emailed the company which is located in Austria. Of course their technical support only works three hours a day Monday through Thursday. Nevertheless, my email has remained unanswered.

Another unfortunate problem is that you get a small bus to start out with and all of the other transportation options that appeared to be available when I bought this aren't there. Some games give you a limited supply of technology and take you through some time while improvements and new options become available. This game must have some kind of bug in it because I've played the Campaign version for hours and can't get any other options. I have a small 10 person capacity bus with hundred of people waiting at bustops that can't get on the stupid thing.

Great graphics and sound though, and if it were'nt for the play difficulites and other bugs I would consider this game to be a fantastic innovation is business strategy games. Intead.. A BIG THUMBS DOWN! Don't waste your money, the company is foreign and you won't get your money back because it's software.

Best game in a long time.

This game is the best thing to happen to the U.S. in a long time. It'l teach people that there are other fun ways of getting around besides the automobile. America's love affair with the automobile has been the worst thing for the environment, and has created gridlock unimaginable 30 years ago. Traffic Giant will give us a new way of thinking.(a better and smarter one) Thank you JoWood.
