Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft Train Simulator has been developed by the team responsible for Microsoft's flight simulator range and shows the same high attention to detail in both graphics and gameplay. The latter is similar to GP3's, giving you the chance to control whatever level of detail you want--from the pressure gauges to stoking the engine. Of course, the un-technical among us can just take the train out for a spin and keep it simple across the six world tracks that Microsoft initially offers. Graphics, like the flight sims', are very impressive, but will need a powerful machine to get the full beauty while chugging along in the countryside. Apart from the free reign on the tracks, there are a number of missions, or tasks, that you've got to complete, ranging from simply getting from A to B to rescuing a train à la Thomas the Tank Engine. With more depth than most, this game is for all comers alike; whether you've been following trains for the last 50 years or this is your first foray, the learning curve is there. Okay, so you can't back left at a whim, nor fly by the control tower at mach six, but the thousands of train aficionados out there are sure to have their imaginations stoked by the six tracks, nine locomotives and track editor. --Jason Denwood

 I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVE TRAIN SIM July 19, 2008
O. M. Aszkenasy (Washington, Tyne & Wear United Kingdom)
This is by far the best thing I ever bought. A better and more accurate simulation than the mega-unrealistic Trainz Railway Simulator. There is a never-ending collection of quality add-ons. To all train fans: JUST BUY IT NOW!

Good Simulator with scope for add on,s.which i would also recomend.
You can also build your own virtual track,But this is very indepth.
But there is documents on the web to help you.
This simulator is not a model railway,Its the real thing the nearst thing
to driving a train on a proper train route.

This has to be the most tedious game i've ever played.
After 25 minutes rolling across uninspired poor graphic scenery.I
began to nod off.A complete waste of my time and money.What enjoyment is gleaned from this product is completely beyond me.
A lever to go forward ...a lever to go backwards? Wow.
If you enjoy watching paint dry this is for you.
Wonderful game, hours of fun May 12, 2005

This is one of the best game I've ever played! It's amazing. I can drive several locomotives. I can drive on anywhere on the world. Just as real as it gets. You can even download freeware add on routes and locomotives. But it is only for those who love trains!

This is a game for children and adults alike as long as they share a passion for trains as i do. I found that the flying scotsman activites were the best. But this game also needs people with patients as some of the activites are long. I highly recommend buying the add on packs that are availible, they will greatly enhance your gaming pleasure!
ENJOY!!
