Product Description

Amazon.com Review Train Simulator takes the obsessive realism of Microsoft's best-of-breed Flight Simulator games down to earth. Six real-world rail lines are included from throughout history, including the Flying Scotsman line of 1920s England and the modern Odakyu Electric Rail commuter line in Tokyo. Attendees at the National Model Railroad Association's August 2000 convention marveled at the game's painstaking attention to detail. But this game is not a model railroad game; it simulates the real thing. The game's developers traveled across the world with cameras and microphones in order to authentically capture the trains in their natural habitats. Train Simulator lets you experience the world's greatest trains in all their glory. Train aficionados can drive the train, run the rail yard, or dive in with the terrain editor and create the rail lines of their dreams. Or you can just sit back, relax, and admire the beautiful scenery and dreamy click-clack of the tracks. --Andrew S. Bub

5.0 out of 5 stars A roaring ride, May 15, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a simulation game that roars alone the train tracks rather than through the air. Unlike several flight simulation games, this one has no war games attached to it. It includes only the rail routes of six actual lines in history, from Britain's 1920s Flying Scotsman line to Tokyo's modern Odakyu Electric Rail commuter line.

Players get to see the scenic countryside and cityscapes along the tracks, also taken from the lines' real environments. The conductor's voice, train engines, trips into the train yard and locomotive controls all duplicate the real thing--as much as a computer game can.

This is terrific for kids whose parents are sick of destructive games that glorify fights, injuries and death. Kids get the sense that they can control and do something productive. It's my kind of game.

--Alyssa A. Lappen

By an amazon customer (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I purchased Microsoft Train Simulator when it first was released (for around $40) and it is one game which will never leave my hard drive. At $9 it is a steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best train simulator on the market, March 19, 2006
By Nancy J. Wipperman (Nevada,Iowa USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The Microsoft train simulator ia better then other train simulators out there.I think is easy to run a train. With this train simulator you can buy add-ons for it. Not like Auran's Trainz version where your stuck with the same routes over and over again. I hope this helps.

This game requires the CD in the drive in order to play run it.
No wonder it was so cheap. Why have a large hard drive when you have
to keep the CD?
