Wooo Hoooo!!!!
I love Train Sims,(Plane and Truck sims too!)But this one here is fun...
If you like to just drive the train, Go get Microsoft Train Sim., But if you want to just do your own thing,(Working the train yard,Choose your own loads,ect) Then
Trainz
is what you need. Plus its a Load and Leave.
No C.D. to hunt up if you want to play
I tried the Demo of this TRS2006 game on march-20-2008
And Wow!! I really like how the details look in this game and how it runs real good on my PC, My Computer has a intel P4 2.8 GHz chip, 512MB's of ram, an ATI Pro-98 video card with 128MB's of video ram. I'm going to get this full version
simulator
game. I had Microsoft train simulator before, but I like TRS
2006
allot better, it looks and works great on my computer and is more fun to operate and watch. the Big Boy Steam Locomotive is allot of fun to watch it run in this Demo,it so cool! and the sounds of the Steam Locomotive are life like coming out of my Creative 2.1 100-watt speaker system that's plugged in to the PC mother board.

This game is addictive!
This is a
simulator
. If you like model trains you should love it. The tracks and trains on the disk are fine and the ones you can order to go with it are great. Almost all of the download able content has problems but most of them work, may have areas showing wireframe but still usable. You can even upload your favorite track for others to use if you so wish. I found myself sitting here "messing" with it for eight hours at one sitting so yes it is very addictive.
Model Railroader?
Here we have an imitation
railroad
ing experience that reminds me of the days when I had an H-O model railroad layout. The main difference is that the various equipment pieces were very accurately detailed in my models, not so in the game software. With
Trainz
there seems to be a lack of realism in both the interiors of the various locomotive cabs and in the exterior illustrations. One engine cab is totally bereft of controls, guages, and other detailing. The steam locomotive sounds are a big disapointment as they are neither realistic nor even timed to the rate of speed of travel; same with diesel locos. In addition the software contained many "glitches" (freeze-framing, unresponsive to inputs at times, etc.) that I was unable to adjust out with my computer. I have to assume they were a problem with the game software. The one advanage with this game is that it is interactive with other gamers with the same software thru the internet, but overall rather disappointing.
