We’ve seen a few outlandish games involving trains over the years, such as the PS2’s X-treme Express and the Wii’s Turbo Trainz. It’s now time for another, in the form of the trick-based Denshattack.

I was also somewhat wary about how fun it’ll be to play if the odds at constantly stacked against you, with every curse hypothetically making progression tougher. Reasonable …
