America doesn't have passenger trains making this trains boring. The game is almost Phantom Hourglass quality.

I LOVED Phantom Hourglass, so I was really looking forward to the arrival Spirit Tracks. I like the graphics, the music, the addition of the pan-flute. What I DON'T like are games (like this) where I find it almost impossible to get through the game without looking up the on-line cheats. For example : one site said I had to go to some random spot on the game and toot the pan flute because there was something buried there......which I NEVER would have known because I don't stop every few steps on each level to blow that flute. I am tired of traveling around in the train....it IS monotonous. Just as someone else said.....I ALSO have only half finished this game and I haven't touched it in a couple of months. The biggest reason that I haven't sold this game already is because you CAN do some multiplayer mini-games with other DS owners who don't have a game card. My kids REALLY like playing those mini-games with me.....so seeing as I have to keep the game, I'm sure I'll finish it at some point. For me, Phantom Hourglass was a much better purchase.
