full steam ahead
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten train levels in video games for this
list we’re looking at segments in video
games that took place aboard trains and
ranked them based on their challenge
level of interaction the player has with
said trains and just how creative the
developers managed to be with the
scenario that has been done countless
times
Kent you must be careful Rebecca
number 10 wrong side of the tracks grand
theft auto san andreas we got to get
those fools ah yes the level remembered
for all the wrong reasons thanks to big
smokes infamous line oh we add the do it
will follow the damn train CJ while
engaging in high-speed chases with other
cars becomes second nature in these
games having to follow a train is
definitely a huge departure from the
usual mayhem you are tasked with causing
the challenge revolves not around how
fast you can go but how precisely you
can follow a target requiring you to
maintain a steady momentum and pace to
keep up with the train so that big smoke
can shoot at the gang members on board
of course getting big smoke to actually
hit the enemies is another story so
you’re probably better off to jump the
bike onto the train and take those guys
out yourself
number nine Kalos Express timesplitters
future perfect
talk about having your work cut out for
you in the time splitter series players
control vin diesel look-alike Cortese
through a bevy of insane set pieces and
scenarios come on let’s find Callison
save the world
however the Kalos express’d ramps up the
insanity pretty much tenfold the goal is
to shoot your way through hordes of
baddies as you move through the many
sections of the Train to stop the launch
of a destructive nuclear missile easy
enough right time for a drink my
discussion no way well after all that’s
done how about being pitted into a
deadly shootout with the game’s
antagonist who happens to be the train’s
namesake Kalos keep it up and we’ll bury
this twisted psycho
if you manage to survive that encounter
quickly hit the brakes to bring the
Express to an end and save kitten
Celeste from being a whole lot flatter
[Music]
not even close aah number 8 ecliptic
Express Resident Evil 0 who’s
contributing train zombies and tight
spaces yep it’s a classic Resident Evil
game alright write down two zombie dogs
and zombie leeches you
the opening section to the prequel of
the original game continues with
Resident Evil’s traditional approach to
survival horror with zombies at every
turn and really confined corridors to
navigate
you can also find a hook shot in the
rear cabin car to climb up to the trains
roof just be sure to get back inside to
brace for impact
number seven train level dead space –
taking notes from Resident Evil dead
space continues the trend of putting the
player into small environments with lots
of monsters ready to tear their faces
off boarding the train is clearly made
to be a bad idea right from the get-go
but fortune favors the brave as you hop
on for a ride which is the equivalent to
a roller coaster through hell
Necromorphs are constantly rushing out
of the shadows but when the train
violently crashes it’s a whole new
problem
the train ride you just had suddenly
looks like heaven in comparison to the
vulnerable position you’ve been left in
this level might be shorter than the
others on our list but it’s unbelievable
tension still leaves a lasting
impression
number six stop the bomb Ratchet and
Clank 2016 please stand clear the a
train is now department the game based
on the movie based on the game was a
completely revamped version of the ps2
original built from the ground up and
one sequence in particular that shines
from this upgrade was the Kirwan train
ride I hope that didn’t cost too much
similar to time splitters the task is to
fight through hordes of enemies and leap
across
train cars to guide ratchet all the way
to the front so that he may defuse a
bomb before it explodes in the Hall of
Heroes that bomb is a 5 kiloton payload
detonated near the Hall of Heroes will
be catastrophic the amount of
destruction caused aboard the train as
you shoot whack and blast the baddies
would have probably been equivalent to
what the bomb was capable of but neck
details
[Music]
number five the forever training starfox
64
they’re not diggin this is one
locomotive that takes a lickin and keeps
on taking the forever train truly lives
up to its name as it stretches as far as
the eye can see in both directions as
the level progresses this stage
encourages pure carnage as you
obliterate the train piece by piece
leading up to a thrilling boss battle
with the trains defense system Macbeth
words cannot express the satisfaction of
hitting all the switches and delivering
the coup de Grasse to the enemy’s base
by sending the forever train careening
out of control and into it thus skipping
you that phosphite number four subway
shootout Max Payne 3 the lengths that
hard-boiled and bloody knuckle decks
caught max goes to in order to bring the
pain pun intended
to the bad guys blurs the line between
vigilante justice and suicidal
tendencies
however we feel his choice to engage in
a blistering shootout while riding the
subway really leans towards the ladder
oh well still makes for damn fine
entertainment everyone wanted the ticket
for the Max Payne Express bullets flying
glass shatters in an action sequence
straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster
cover is key as steering clear of enemy
gunfire is just as crucial as shooting
back best offense is a good defense
right or wait that’s the other way
around
anyway it’s a simple setup done with
brilliant execution in a guns blazing
fight to the finish line smart move
would have been sticking with the sylvan
going straight to the hangar but when
was I ever about smart moves I’m a dumb
move guy number three train mystery
Paper Mario the thousand-year door leave
it to Mario to spice up the conventions
four train levels proving that they
don’t have to be all about big
explosions discovering that the next
star to be saved is located in partially
Heights Mario and company board the
luxurious excess Express for a nice
relaxing ride to their destination well
at least that was the plan over the
course of the three-day journey strange
and unfortunate events happen to the
passengers on board causing Mario to
jump into action and solve the mystery
moving through the many sections of the
XS Express Mario must search for clues
on just how the perpetrator of all these
oddball occurrences is able to cover
their tracks so well get it tracks cuz
you’re on train okay moving on
[Music]
number two Mexican Train Robbery Red
Dead Redemption very little is beneath
the man such as me huh okay well well in
that case I assume a little robbery will
be a pleasant day’s work all in a good
course of course how could a videogame
centered around the days of the Old West
be complete without a rip-roaring Train
Robbery sequence yeah luckily for us the
mines at Rockstar never miss a beat and
provide us with the ability to live out
all of our thieving cowboy fantasies
listen we’ve got to get this done before
the train rolls out of this station you
make it sound so easy when John Marston
agrees to help rob a Mexican supply
train he quickly discovers that it’s
stationed at a heavily fortified outpost
after quietly detaching the rear cars
with the desired loot from the rest of
the Train you’ll have to deal with a
number of armed guards but that’s where
that Gatling gun comes in handy
once they’ve all been blown to
unfortunate smithereens you are clear to
blow the hatch and crack open the safe
before our top pick rolls into the
station here are a few honorable
mentions
[Music]
[Music]
number one locomotion uncharted 2 among
thieves we feel pretty confident in
saying that this action-packed sequence
from the award-winning follow-up to the
original uncharted is probably what most
gamers immediately think of when you say
train level
Naughty Dog truly hit it out of the park
crafting a level that was actually
moving meaning not only did the player
have to deal with armed guards on board
but they also had to watch where they
would leap and take cover
that blistering battle with the
helicopter is just icing on the cake in
a game already exploding with incredible
moments for this one to shine out the
brightest speaks wonders of its
excellence and leaves very little
competition for designing the greatest
videogame train level of all time so are
you all aboard with our list we got to
cooperate with each other from now on
you got that which videogame train
levels did you enjoy the most for more
