This game is mostly intended for brits and their trains. Hopefully in the future there will be a final replacement for Microsoft Train Simulator, with the graphics of Railworks, the physics of TS and no more of these tiny little class(insert number here) trains, just US diesels, for this side of the globe.
This game isn't really mean to be appealing to gamers. It's meant to dipict how driving a real train would be, and in fact, it is surprisingly acurate... at least as far as a game can go.
I like trains but this seems kinda boring. I think they should make it more interactive, like take your train into an old west town and spend a night with a hooker, get drunk, get in bar fights. Then you jump back on the train while being pursued by some evil cowboys. But what they don't know is that you're transporting Alien weaponry found in the mountains, which you then use to defend your train and vaporize them.
@Gretschzilla You have forgotten only one thing. That none of your ideas should be a part of a TRAIN simulator game. If you wanna get drunk, and fight, or protect yourself against aliens, then you'd better try out FPS or TPS games, such as AVP, or a LIFE simulator, such as Sims or Singles, but not TRAIN simulators. I hope you get the point.
@GothpaladANUS You are wrong. They NEED to be part of the train sim. It would be awesome. What is so exciting about driving a train on some tracks? Oh you get to see towns..and trees...and bushes...and buildings...oh my god I'm getting a woody! Anyway if the sim had other factors, like allowing you to stop the train, get out, get in a drunken bar brawl, hook up with some hookers, then discover an alien conspiracy...that WOULD ROCK. YOu must be some sort of train sim whackjob or something?
@Gretschzilla But if they would become a real part of the simulator, then would come the "18+" signs and that wouldn't be good...
Trainsims are a type of games for everyone, independent of player age. But ablities like getting drunk would born high restrictions in the age recommendation, and then it would more likely be a Sims-clone w/ trains but not a game where your only goal would be to learn how to drive safely, and accurately, in both time and stop point.
Looks like the game has the same jitter problem as the previous RS. I have RS and even with my Intel Q9550 and a Radeon 5870, I get it. All my other sims like MS Flight run like a charm.
@Safegold008 I don't think you understand what steam is...it's just a platform to download games...valve has no involvement in most of the games on steam...valve is only responsible for half life series, counterstrike, l4d, tf2 and a few others.
I think it reminds people of playing with train sets as a child only now you can actually simulate driving (do you drive a train?) one. I hate trains and cannot understand train spotters but am a flight sim fan and this reminds me of my huge train set as a kid and i have just bought on Steam....go figure! :)
@Hyperen Don't get me wrong i have nothing against sim games, i just like having challenges to overcome, and rewards to earn. I also like games that require skill to complete harder challenges :).
I honestly don't understand this game but the crane in the background just made me lol. OMG LOOK AT ME SPIN CIRCLES FOR NO APPARENT REASON BECAUSE THERE HAS TO HAPPEN SOMETHING!!
I dont get it. Whats the appeal to this game? You could be shooting at people, or racing in a Gran Prix, but instead you catch the 7:20am train to hounslow.
Im not insulting anyone here btw. I just would like to know the appeal in this game.
People who are interested in the railway play this game - it therefore makes sense that if you don't like the railway or are not interested in it then you will not find the game enjoyable
Thanks for replying, I'm thinking of upgrading my Railsimulator to railworks, and just wanted to know Is the HST Horn in railworks the same as the crappy default one in rail sim?
ive still got rail simulator add ons even this game came out after i got them will it work on railworks or do i have to buy the Justtrains railworks packs
Great video 5 stars, I just have one question. How much better is this than Rail Simulator and is it really worth over 50 dollars for the new routes and locomotives
It's a whole other game in the sense that it is separate from RailSim meaning you can have both installed and you have to pay for it but essentially it's just a slightly updated RailSim with some new routes and trains.
Man, Im so excited to play this game. Im downloading it now off steam.. it's at 43%.. I can't WAIT to watch my train go on a linear track at slow speeds!! Im too excited I've been waiting 2 years for this game!! I love that they released an expansion a month after the game came out for half the price of the actual game, and DLC thats up to and together more expensive than the actual game! Rail Simulator 2 fans UNITE!
If you want the Class 37, V200 or any of the American locos I'd say it is worth it provided you can still get the special offer price of £17.49. I have to say I'm not a fan of paying for fictional routes but the way I see it is that the Class 37 would have cost £9.99 alone so for £7.50 more I got the V200 which is very good, some American locos, the Cajon Pass route and the 3 fictional routes which I see as a bonus. So if it's still £17.49 I would buy it, if £34.99 I wouldn't.
personally, I really like rail simulator (the original one, railwaorks is an updated version) but then again, if you aren't a rail enthusiast, you probably won't benefit from it.
well i'm a pilot, and i love train too :) , my comment, was because i guy here say that this simulator, was so bored, but for who are train fans, this simulator is great,
As a MSTS user I have to disagree, the RW 37 looks ways better than anything possible in MSTS , it's just a shame you can't hear the locomotive until it's on top of you, that is very unrealistic.
I think of it as a tweaked Rail Simulator with lots of new stuff - 3 new fictional routes, the Cajon Pass which was released for the US Rail Simulator and 3 new locomotives. It comes with all the default stuff that you get with Rail Simulator as well. That's why they are offering it for half price for Rail Simulator owners. At that price I think it's a very good deal considering the Class 37 alone may have cost £10 or so.
£34.99 but there is a special offer of £17.49 available for members of the official Rail Simulator website as long as they registered before the 1st of June.
It's only available as an online download at the moment from Steam (a program/service that allows you to buy and download games and keep them updated). I think a DVD will be released in a few weeks.
Lovely, the class 37 throaty grumble sounds very realistic.

I think of it as a tweaked Rail Simulator with lots of new stuff - 3 new fictional routes, the Cajon Pass which was released for the US Rail Simulator and 3 new locomotives. It comes with all the default stuff that you get with Rail Simulator as well. That's why they are offering it for half price for Rail Simulator owners. At that price I think it's a very good deal considering the Class 37 alone may have cost £10 or so.
