I have a passion for trains. I love playing this game because it is so realistic. I can run so many different trains and chose engines and cars and layout and scenery. It has great graphics.

Scenario's Lacking

After reading some of the positive reviews, I just had to write. While I think the overall mechanics of the game are sound, I got board with this game. There are only 2 or 3 scenarios where you're doing any switching. Otherwise, you're taking a load from point A to point B. The big excitement? Watching your speed.

This would have been a great game had it included more scenarios with switching operations. I don't have the time nor do I want to learn how to be a developer and write my own scenarios.

This reminds me of a carnival game where you pay XX amount for the first prize, which isn't much. You keep paying and paying to get a bigger prize. In this case, your paying money to other developers to provide more game enrichment.

Too bad... it had possibilities...

I have a younger son who wanted to play with trains but we did not have any room for a setup. At the simple level, he only needs three keys to to play and the number pad to change the views. So for us, this is great. Good family fun. Worth the special price Amazon had it up for (9.99).

Terrible Train-Simulator.

I bought this product and it didn't work. I have 2GB Ram, 120GB Hard Drive, 2GHz Processor, 128MB Graphics Card, ATI 9600 Vid. Card... and the damn game won't load. I'd recomend you go play something else, like, 18 Wheels of Steel Haulin' - Pedal To The Metal version.

With Rail simulator we have a new player on a stage that was so far dominated by MSTS and by Trainz. And what a performance! Of course like in every debut there are some very small details to brush up but the overall apreciation is very very positive.

New game has promise

This can be a very good game, the graphics are great, the scope is limited now, but hopefully add-ons will expand it. The directions are limited, but getting on the forum,you can learn a lot. The scenery for the Cajon Pass is quite accurate. I have watched train tapes of this area to see it in real life. There are set scenerios you can use, make your own or just make up a train and go where you want. New engine skins, freight cars etc. are coming up almost daily. If you like trains and want to see what its like to be an engineer, This is for you.

I have had limited time to run the simulator...but it seems like a very nice simulator...just enough hand-holding to help novice rail sim users get going

This is a great train simulator (not a tycoon type game), though its early in its growth (US version has only been out a month or so as of this date) expect much content from both its creators and fans both as time goes on.

It has editors included out of the box so you can make your own maps and such, as well as developers tools which can be downloaded from the official website.

For more info on the game you can visit their website and also check out their fan forums as well.

Nay-sayers not always right!

Rail Simulator (RS) is an extremely good simulation that is extremely well supported by a website that includes additional downloads, a forum, news, etc. Add-on content is appearing on a regular basis and a major, free upgrade has already appeared, along with editing tools for the more adventurous. RS beats the pants off MSTS and Trainz, which isn't even in the running anymore because it is not compatible with Vista.
If you want to try driving trains, this is the simulator to get!

Rail Simulator is a fun game for train lovers. I will spend many an hour with this program. I have purchased past games of this type and have enjoyed them greatly and am enjoying this one also. So if you love to drive trains, create routes, or stations, etc. then this is for you.
