  The fun of riding trains is just amazing and this game will put you on the shoes of a real train driver. But for this trainz Simulator 12, the fun ends moment you're done with 4 tutorials. Speaking of what you really have to do in this game is quite limited, as the achievements, majority of them just demand you thousands of hours in the game, diesel engine or electric and DCC. Come on, check for yourself, the achievement asking to spend 10,000 hours (72000000 seconds) on each of the train. That means, you will take near to 2 years and 3 months to get that 100% mark. 2 years and 3 months of non-stop trainz simulator. Probably, the most time demanding achievement of any other game on steam. And yes, that timer is synchronous with your real time clock. Not even an experienced train driver have had that amount of time in resume that you will spend in this game to get the achievements. And that's the only requirement from this game. You learn tutorials, be happy that you can drive train now and well, say goodbye to mom - dad , friends and world for next 2.5 years and start playing. Honestly, I loved the look-and-feel of train, train cabs and hands on gears to feel like a driver , signal men and blowing horn time to time. But looking at the sick achievements that there is nothing more to it than spending 10% of human's life time just in this game driving trains made my blood boil in anger with the developers who decided to include these achivements. So, next time, I have to travel across the world or inter states or anywhere for any reason, It would literally take me less time walking by feet than boarding trains. The user interface is not that great. For example, when you are in the Surveyor building tracks, the list of trains is tiny and crammed in the upper-right. There is no search function I could find, just a lot of scrolling. Describing the UI design standards as "haphazard" would be charitable: the launcher and a content manager have a very different look-and-feel from the game. Within the game itself, there are visual navigation elements on screen and a little square text-based menu at the top, so it takes some doing to figure out where everything is. Also, you need to select the DirectX library within startup menu of Trainz or it will throw your PC into some cropped resolution that won't take take up the whole screen and will hide the menu. For train lovers, please buy the train simulator by Dovetail games. This one by N3V Games is fraud. The dovetail one is much better, polished, realistic, glitch free, smooth and yes, there is lot to do in that train simulator. Seriously, 2.5 years??? HELL, NO.

  Can be amazing... when it works. Unfortunaly, a fun game and a powerful editor gets slapped with a terrible engine that will lag horribly ON THE MENU SCREEN. The amount of user-made content is pretty good; however in one of the most shameless cashgrabs I have seen, you are limited to a download speed of around 5 KB/s and a download limit of 100MB unless you pay up. Could be great, but in short, avoid.

  I love this game. It has some issues I would agree (not a real speed "feel", gameplay gets laggy on most maps no matter your hardware, ability to eat way to many hours), but it more than makes up for those issues and more with the surveryor alone (the surveryor is what they call the building overlay. You can play for six months with the content that comes with the game, and their are huge amounts of addon routes and cars and engines available on the download station through auran.com. The longer you play with it the more you realize you could do with it. As an example I live in northern Mi (USA), and I have built myself most of the tracks in the state (excluding the upper peninsula). Then you find the download station and realize there are most routes and sessions than you could ever drive, ranging from beginner to simply evil in difficulty, and taking anywhere from a few minutes to a full day in drivetime. I am happy to have this game on steam where it kept up to date, common links all in one spot(again updated for me), and is mine for the forseeable future no matter which computer I manage to kill. Oh and once you get a handle on how the portals work give me a shout. Drive right from your coal mine through a tunnel and come out where ever you want (other maps, turned around, different location on same map, community maps). Anyway I highly recommend this title even over the dovetail games title just released. From what I've read 2015 is a pretty much reskinned copy of this game anyway.

  Following the purchase of Microsoft train simulator back in 2002 I have always gone out looking for other simulators (especially train simulators) so I can confidently say that I KNOW Trainz, from Trainz, Trainz 2004, Trainz 2006 and Trainz Classic UK. What is this game? = answer its bad, it’s a simple money sock soaking up the cash from every innocent customer. I mean really guys this is just bad... don’t even debate. Where do I even start? Firstly and this is my biggest point that drives me up the wall. This is NOT a new/newer game. By the use of clever branding and publishing your led to believe that this. OH WOW, IT’S A NEW TRAINZ!!! ... Well don’t get too excite sat at ye-oldie computer because it’s not. If you simply go into your “Rail yard” (which lists each loco/rolling stock for you to observe) you can see that 90% of the content, YET AGAIN has just been copied and pasted from the previous versions. I mean Big Boy ??. for crying out loud that was made for Trainz 2004 it looks a pile of A*** for one of the latest’s lines of train simulators. Its laziness, pure and simple.. However that being said, they have made some, and I mean some, new locos and stock that actually looks ok. The sounds are awful, again like the locos, sounds have been taken from the Trainz backlog of games. This game screams nothing but laziness, essentially what you looking at is trainz 2004 with mix and matches on certain locos and routes in truth. In terms of simulation there isn’t any, well no more than some buttons that make you go forward and backwards, ok there is the complicated control system but its miles from simulated, it feels like someone who has a basic grasp of what things do and has just botched it together how he thinks is best. So it’s not a great start is it? The menu and in game overlay/system is far far far complex than it needs to be, like seriously what was wrong with a button that just opened up individual trains to place, here you have got to go create a consist somewhere and then once that’s saved you can load it up in game, it is just stupid. Want to know something that amazed me? I find it amazing how a Post PS2 era game with the same level of graphical detail can run THIS badly!!, ¬ seriously. I can run Train Simulator 2015 on full graphics reaching about 20fps in lag spikes and running normally at about 35-40fps this game however runs like a slug, RUBBISH, I get 9fps at best, I turn down the graphics so it looks EVEN worse for very little improvement. The only thing worth crediting on this game is the first appearance of Train Simulation in Multiplayer...ok it’s a short lived compliment because you can only drive from one map unless you come off the game and fiddle around with the content manager thing to get more, the trains are already placed even if you’re a server host and this far complicated menu system just makes the whole experience even more un-enjoyable. However when you finally do get set up it can be some full playing with friends. But again short lived, because every time a player joins the game will send you miles and mile away from your own train for no apparent reason and it’s a fiddle to find “where you once where” I got this cheap but even cheap feels expensive, I would pay at best £5 for this .... Out of curiosity I bought a bundle of 16 Trainz DLC the other day for £2.99 to try out.... and there amazingly rubbish. Just avoid at all cost is my advice. In fact go play train simulator its better ;)

  No lag whatsoever. It was one of the smoothest running games on my computer. I am happy that I bought it.

  Even though this simulator's driving-simulation is not the best out there, it has lots of great things that makes it stand out from the rest. First of all, lots of different kinds of trains to choose from for free. Also the route editor is massive, with lots of properties, and mods. It's one of the main reasons I bought the game, and it was worth the price. I think this game is good for casual simulator-players, with enough content to satisfy, and route editor that will let player be creative.
