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.

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.Īpart 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.

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. 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.

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.
