ZOO Digital, responsible for publishing past DS titles such as Sudokumaniacs and Snood 2: On Vacation, are at it again and look to bring their newest game, Lionel Trains on Track, to the DS. The game focuses on building a train empire from the ground up, asking the player to build virtual cities and fill it with glorious mass transportation. Players will also be able to research into new properties, allowing them larger and more impressive structures as their city grows.

Some of the game's other features include:

Cargo Chains: by taking your train to multiple towns and improving its cargo hold, you can gather each town's specific goods and sell it for a profit at a town in need
The game will feature 3 modes of play: Campaign, Freeplay, and Sandbox
You'll eventually unlock new trains and structures through the game by research

I enjoy trains, and was looking forward to this title. Even without any information, screen shots or pics. The box art had a train on the cover & I was going to get it.
I was very excited to see that BestBuy.com listed it at $9.99 last Friday & Saturday. So, not expecting the unreviewed, no screen shot train game to fly off the shelves I went to my local BestBuy late on Black Friday well after the big crowds had gone away. No game, I was very surprised to think that it had sold out.
Later, at home I tried to purchase online. Guess what? The game had a release date of today November 27th.
So, how exactly should I have EVER purchased this game at Best Buy for $9.99 during the Friday & Saturday only sale.
