  You might want to make a post on the game programming forums on www.gamedev.net as a lot of people there are using the engine.

  Torque Game Engine is our base 3D engine. It was originally the engine behind Tribes 2 and has been heavily modified since then. It has some great tools to create and manipulate terrains as well as object placement and particle creation tools.
  
  Torque Shade Engine is our next gen engine. Fully buzz word compliant with shaders, dynamic lighting, self shadowing, etc. It also has a terrain engine called Atlas that supports terrain paging for almost limitless terrains.
  
  We also have an engine called Torque Game Builder. It's a 2D engine though has support for basic 3D rendering in a 2D world. This engine has the most easy to use and polished tools of all of our engines. It also comes with the best and most comprehensive docs.
  
  TorqueX is a melding of all our engines into an XNA based engine, presently it isn't released though we recommend picking up the engine you want to dev on and then port to TorqueX.
  
  We did this for a TGB (Torque Game Builder) game called "TankBuster". You might've seen it quickly on the GameFest Keynote. We made it in TGB in about a week, then it took 1-2 days for someone to port it to TorqueX.

  Ah, so the Torque Shader Engine is also a game engine Much like TGE, but better, one might say :)

  Torque is an OpenGL engine (although there's a DirectX hack for it -- but it's not stable).
  
  Torque Shader Engine is their new DirectX engine.
  
  With Torque (and I think for TSE, too) -- you'll be doing very little C++ coding, since the engine is pretty mature. Most likely, you'll write Torque scripts to implement your game. I'm not sure that's what you want in "develop a game using C++"

  Torque is an awesome engine. There are alot of free native Engines out there and also Managed DirectX Engines. It's best to explore some of them to find one that suites you the best.
  
  I would suggest taking a look at Irrlicht as it seems very user friendly and really a breeze to work with. I have personally work with it and it was really cool to use and offers alot of nifty features.
  
  I hope this helps.
  Take care.
