A Bargain October 10, 2004

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.

A roaring ride May 15, 2005

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.

Best train simulator on the market March 20, 2006

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 is a very intelligent simulation, nicely done by Microsoft. Good tutorial to get you started. You'll enjoy this even if you're only remotely interested in trains.

Seems very realistic May 16, 2006

I bought this game for my son's computer and he absolutely loves it! Seems to be very realistic and true to life (I wouldn't be able to swear on that since I don't know much about trains). I am buying this for my dad, since he is a train enthusiast as well.
