Synopsis

Densha de Go! Final (loosely translated as "Go by Train! Final") is an electric train driving simulation game developed and published by Taito for the PlayStation 2 in Japan on May 27, 2004. It was later ported to PC by Unbalance on December 17, 2004.

Part of the Densha de Go! series, Final features significantly improved graphics and sound, a revamped penalty system (using a point-based system from Densha from Go! Ryojou-hen and Densha from Go! Shinkansen), a combo-based scoring system, an improved navigation system display, and unlockable route expansions.

In addition to standard gameplay, the game includes an alternate gameplay style in which players can instead (or alongside the conductor for two-player multiplayer) act as the driver of the train. Train conductors must open and close the train doors at the right time, choose the next correct station to stop at, and make announcements in the car.

The game includes four routes: the Yamanote Line, the Chūō Main Line, the Osaka Loop Line, and the Tōkaidō Main Line. Playable in both directions, it features the entire Yamanote and Osaka Loop lines, the fast section of the Chūō Main Line between Tokyo and Takao and the section of the Tōkaidō Main Line between Kyoto and Kobe.

This version of the game was later ported to PlayStation Portable piecemeal, all part of the "Densha de Go! Pocket" line of releases:
- Densha de Go! Pocket: Yamanotesen-hen (loosely translated as "Go by Train! Pocket: Yamanote Line Edition") was released on September 29, 2005, including only the Yamanote line.

- Densha de Go! Pocket: Chuuousen-hen (loosely translated as "Go by Train! Pocket: Chūō Line Edition") was released on January 19, 2006, including only the Chūō Main Line.

- Densha de Go! Pocket: Toukaidousen-hen (loosely translated as "Go by Train! Pocket: Tōkaidō Line Edition") was released on July 27, 2006, including only the Tōkaidō Main Line.

To celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, the game was later released as a standalone plug-and-play unit on February 8, 2018 as Densha de Go! Plug and play.
