In over their heads. Not good enough.

Can certainly confirm that it is a pretty immersive experience with some challenging aspects that to me as a train novice are just right. The trains feel very different to drive and it’s a great feeling when you start building up a bit of speed on a line or get into a rhythm of timing passenger stops. I started on the London Underground which features the Bakerloo line. The loco is simple to operate and initially it was quite repetitive until you get out into the longer runs through Wembley. I then moved onto freight operations in Pennsylvania, but found the action a bit fiddly and will come back to it later - I appreciate the variety though. Then I tried the modern high speed trains operating in western Germany and really enjoyed getting up big speed while also dealing with the various speed limit and gradient changes that you have to factor in. At its best you really believe you are there and the experience is almost zen like it really is true. At its worst you can be hunting around the cabin for the correct process for allowing the train to operate after stopping unexpectedly for quite a while! But I will say the tutorials and driver aids do a good job of preparing you. Overall a really nicely done simulation with loads to do and a variety. Add in the huge amount of trophies and DLC options, then this will keep you occupied for a long time. I can quite happily spend 2 hours playing before realising what the time is and that has to be the sign of a good game/simulation.

Dovetail Games provides an accurate train simulator. It’s unforgiving, brutal at times, but oddly relaxing and fun when things start running smoothly. It is truly a train simulator.

I love riding London tube (especially that it is so similar to a real one). Other trains are also great. I am not expecting nothing more. Game becomes even better if you disable whatever possible to support you in the play. (looking at speed limits, red & green lights) to apply the right speed or to stop the train is a great thing. It is highly possible that I'll purchase more trains and routes within the game. It is important to note, that this game is not for everybody, if you are looking dynamic, action based simulation game with a lot of additional adventures this is possibly not for you.Apart from the above I like the game graphics, physics and overall experience. It never crashed on my PC and I’ve played it so far about 20 hours already.

Too buggy. Seriously, you can spend almost an hour on an event and then the game will just spit right in your face: you can't pass it furtherToo buggy. Seriously, you can spend almost an hour on an event and then the game will just spit right in your face: you can't pass it further because of a bug. Pathetic.
