Train fans that own an iPhone device will be thrilled to take control over locomotives barreling through famous U.S. destinations in the new Train Conductor 2: USA mobile game, developed by The Voxel Agents. Taking advantage of the iPhone's swipe feature, players will be able to get trains to pass through Miami Beach, the Grand Canyon, Nashville, Las Vegas and New York City.

Train Conductor 2 is an addictive puzzle train traffic control game, which requires quick strategic decisions and superior hand-eye coordination. The game enables players to guide locomotives across the horizontal tracks while avoiding head-on collisions with other trains. There are several types of trains available in the game: Steam trains, electric subway trains, monorails, ghost trains and even “skull trains.” As the game progresses it will get harder and harder as players advance, with an increased number of trains varying in length, speed and frequency.

Train Conductor 2: USA features many enhancements to the original game, including improved menu art, a simplified HUD (heads-up display), new music, new train models, a different look for stopped trains and varied environmental and weather effects, as well as five new levels featuring custom gameplay scenarios for U.S. Landmarks: Miami Beach – Control the Metromovers on skyrails (similar to monorails); The Grand Canyon – Connect steam trains over the gorge; New York City – Deliver subway trains on the authentic color-coded New York City; Nashville – Ghost and skull trains turn the country music capital on its head; Las Vegas – Sort the pink and green ghost trains before they get caught by Hector “The Fare Evader”.

We came, we saw and we conquered — Australia. Now the challenge is America!” says Simon Joslin, CEO, The Voxel Agents. “We’ve added so much content to the game that Train Conductor fans will have a hard time putting the sequel down. Beware of extended sessions while at work – you might get fired!

The game also features a solid integrated social networking services feature, so that players with a Facebook account can post game's scores to a friend’s profile or even compete in a friends-only leaderboard. Players can also post their scores on Twitter, challenging the entire planet in the process.

Train Conductor 2: USA is available on Apple’s App Store and iTunes for $0.99. An iPad version is also in the works.
