Genre and what to do:
Word game. Welcome to Text Express 2 that invites players to be a locomotive driver of a train that makes its way to various stations around a huge and winding track. Your task is to reach each destination point before your rival train. To run your locomotive, you need to feed the furnace with coal, which is earned by forming as many words as you can, using six available letters. As long as there is a minimum of three letters, it will help push your train towards the next station. The faster you create words, the faster you'll get to the destination station. There is a board with the total number of available words you can make in alphabetical order with underlined spots, which serve as a hint. As you advance in the game, various power-ups appear, which help you reach the goal faster and make game play much interesting.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Text Express 2 is an exciting word game that features bright detailed graphics, diverse sound effects and pleasant instrumental music. One of highlights is the ability to unlock new game types and rules. For example, after the first five stations or so, you'll unlock "Replace," so, instead of using the same six letters to create as many words as you can, the letters you use to replace a word and then replaced by a batch of all new letters. Other variations enable unlocking seven letters to make words instead of six, anagrams (make words with all the letters provided) and other special missions. If you play well you can win unique awards and see them any time at the trophy room. All in all, Text Express 2 is the captivating game that brings unforgettable impressions, especially for those players, who are looking for a fast-paced mental fun.
