 Feels like a railway - NOT a simulation December 26, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As veterans of various earlier train simulators (Eisenbahn, Microsoft Train Simulator & TrainZ), both my son & I have found Rail Simulator very clearly ahead of the rest.
The game installed & ran immediately without problem on a fairly low-spec XP desktop. It IS a realistic simulator as well as a game, so some careful driving is required - but not to any unreasonable or awkward extent.
The quality of both graphics and sound offers very significant improvements over the other simulators. This looks close to being a railway video, rather than a PC game. Both landscapes and rolling stock have a high degree of convincing realism, rather than the "cartoon" character of the earlier simulators. The trackwork, whilst being finely detailed, has convincing slight irregularities and mucky patches. Buildings and landscapes (e.g. fields) likewise. Rolling stock is convincingly weathered and extra instances of the same item (e.g. the Black Five loco) are not carbon copies but subtely varied as well as being differently numbered. Carriage interior views are similarly good and realitically peopled as well.
The overall "driving" experience is enjoyably convincing - to the extent that the player feels immersed in the simulated railway and inclined to remain so.
Route modelling, though not quite as easy as TrainZ is none-the-less an inviting - and more rewarding - activity in its own right. A good inventory of resources and materials seems to have been included - so there is plenty of scope to construct your routes and to make them varied and interesting.

having seen the two reviews on here i would say that all the game needs is a little getting used to,i think the engines are really the best i have seen in any train sim game and i owe microsoft train sim and trainz,i also enjoy the add on which was released for rail sim ,the routes are also spot on ,far better than what microsoft can produce so yes this game will get five gold stars and all i can say is to the company that made this game please produce more add ons.

Brilliant experience - especially the free roam facility. A lot of on line help available when registered with the web site.
A note to get the best out of this simulator,Good speakers (Logitech,Creative 5:1 set up at least),a Sound Blaster Extreme Audio Card and a PHYS X graphics hardware is essential. Also make sure that you have the most recent patches installed (MK 2 patch due out soon). All the official simulator add-ons are worth while.
If you like train spotting, this will take you back to the days when the HST 125 trains ruled supreme on the York - Newcaste route.
Although the Instructions are minimal in paper form, explore the ONline forum for further helpful tips - including the links to UTube
The best part of the game for me is in free roam, driving an HST out of Reading towards Paddington; just watch,listen and enjoy the sensation of opening up the throttle past the first 125mph speed restriction sign. Incredibly I reached 136mph! - without derailing it! Fantastic!
