Video Game Reviews of Train Simulator (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Exploring Games
Summary: 2 Stars
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?
Customer Review: If you like trains
Summary: 3 Stars
If you like trains I guess you will like this one. Surprisingly you need to pay attention. You can't just fire her up and walk away. At least not for long. Customer Review: Microsoft train simulator Redux
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned MS Train simulator since it came out years ago. My original CD was swiped by someone, and for a while I went without. A few weeks ago I decided to to repurchase MS Train simulator, and after installing it, updating it, and buying a a ton of train addons and rolling stock, as well as locomotives, and routes, I have to say that this train simulator is quite a satisfying simulator that gives the end users a feel for what real railroading is like.
What is really nice about this train simulator is that you have so many choices on how you want to run your game. If you are a freight buff there are plenty of freight activities that come with the simulator itself, but there is also a galaxy of activities downloadable from train simulator sites that will keep you working your butt off into the next century. If you are a passenger train fan there is a uncountable number of passenger activities available from users all over the world worth downloading and playing. I mean the amount of content available for Microsoft train Simulator staggers the mind.
I started loving trains when I was a kid. I never knew why I liked trains I just liked them. They seem so busy and interesting. They were big and powerful. They looked really cool and they could haul tons of material all over the place through all kinds of weather. I also enjoyed the labels that they all had and the company logos that you would find on them. I loved the smell, and the noises that they would make. Train yards would be a place that I would hang out in my youth. I would hang out there for hours watching the trains work.
Microsoft train Simulator allows me to experience all of this, but this time I can be the engineer that's manipulating that train about in the yard. I can be the one engaging in switching operations, and I can be the one that drives the 127 car grain train through the stormy night for delivery. I can be the tireless, train engineer that keeps this country supplied.
I love this program and even though it is out-dated. There are still utilities that are freeware and payware that will keep this simulator going into the next decade.
Just my opinion.
Customer Review: Simulates Operating a Train
Summary: 3 Stars
The title says it all: Train Simulator. This gives you all sorts of buttons and switches to mess with on Steam, Diesel, and Electric locomotives. It takes a while to get used to it (and it really helps when you turn the so-called "easy" controls off), but it can be quite an enjoyable experience to get down the tracks.
The "game" part of it comes in when you start having to stop at stations accurately (the closer you get to the optimal target, the less time you have to wait there). This turns out to be much more difficult than one would think.
Overall, it was worth the 6 dollars or whatever that I paid for it.

MSTS is the greatest computer game I have ever played. If you are a railfan, then you will love this game. I highly recommend it. And I can't wait for MSTS 2 next year!
