Video Game Reviews of Trainz: Railroad Simulator 2006
Customer Review: Opened Up a New World to Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I was not a train buff before I bought this simulator. I honestly didn't know a thing about trains, but I bought this because I wanted to learn more about them so as my son gets older, we can learn about this together. I have a sense of appreciation for this software, because the tutorials teach how how to actually drive a train (be it steam, electric, etc.) I've also enjoyed learning how to load and unload cargo. This software is something that I will not tire of because I can build new tracks (haven't even started to explore that yet) and share with an online community.
I have a relatively new computer (1.8Ghz with 512MB) and many of the scenarios take time to load (30 - 90 seconds) which surprises me, but that may be a testament to the detail of the software.
I enjoy the different camera views and the ability to ride inside the cab. The reality of actually adding coal to the fire or making sure I get my passengers to their destination on time is a thrill.
So, I'm a train buff now. This is the best software I've purchased in a very long time (no more war games for me). So, now I'm going to invest in an encyclopedia of trains and learn how to start swapping my data from this game with others.
Customer Review: The world's best 3-D train game has rolled the rails in to stores finaly!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is the most awesome train game ever created. Custom make your own train, passenger, grain, coal, freight, oil, salt, even revrigerated and box cars. Choose from present day engines to the early 1900's. Union Pacific and the Old "Big Boy" steam engine. If you like trains as much as I do, I 100% think that this is the game for you. Shirley everyone who buys this will be extremely happy. If you are not, than you must not like trains.
