    Powerful, easy to use, and loaded with potential, it could become the flagship computer title for train enthusiasts.

    While the gameplay will mostly appeal to the hardcore fans of the hobby, almost anyone will get a smile as they watch the cars roll by.

    Those looking for less scenery and pretty looking trains and more gaming, should probably pass on Trainz as they will lose interest in the game before too long.

    Trainz isn't really a game at all, but rather an intricate simulation of what is itself an intricate simulation. [May 2002, p.62]

    Trainz isn't a game, it is a design simulator with a steep learning curve. I don't see the appeal of spending time on something like this without being paid for it.… Expand
