Train Simulator Classic Reviews

I highly recommend this game its a different world to sit and drive a train instead of just ridding in them

Well all I got say is that this is a thumbs up by the skin of its teeth. In reality it was so close to be a negative review. Pros: This game has so many trains and routes from so many countries. The low storage means you could have many stuff on limited storage. The specs required to run it are so low you might as well hook it up to a potato and it'll still run (2009 game afterall). A giant community that's more then willing to offer more content and advancements free or paid. Cons....oh boy the cons. It's old, really old so graphics wise, it's outdated as hell (I think DTG have focused on TSW now). DLCs. To play anything else, you need some sort of DLC and some of them could go for as cheap as $10 to as expensive as $50. You are dealing with DTG after all. Horrible Content. There is a lot of content that is just plain trash and is not fit for the price it's being sold at (Class 700 I'm looking at you). Reviews are your best friend. I'm prob missing a lot but that's all I could come up with at 1 AM. In conclusion, if you are a big fan of the railways. Go ahead and buy this. If you are a casual enjoyer and prioritizes looks and feel and freedom, may I recommend Train Sim World whatever copy exists by the time you read this. But the overarching review is.......GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!

i quite enjoy this game, very high in detail, lots of routes to choose from as well as many locos, much more available with the DlC too.

No where near as good as its TSW counter part although DLCs for this has routes i would like. Impossible to control and no matter what i do the game either crashes or stops my train for no reason. I pass a green signal and AWS stops my train as if i'd gone through on red

This game is buggy. seems like a old game with a fresh wrapper on it, not worth the money.

Not recommended, i dont know what Dovetail did, but it isnt working. The game opens, no problems. But when i try to start a quick drive, it will start loading, then freezes. Stuck on infinite black screen. Its not because of my specs or anything because pc is running perfectly. Its just a black screen. I dont know how many times i had to restart my PC but it starting to piss me off. Only career mode is working for some reason. Please fix your glitches Dovetail. (although im not getting my hopes up to dovetail fixing anything)

Game not opening in windowed version. Two uninstalls and re-installs later, still no game. Shows in Steam as "running" - well it isn't! Waste of money!

I enjoy running trains on USA and local routes I am familiar with and driving new and (unfamiliar to me), locomotives, rolling stock and routes. I also enjoy the opportunity to run vintage locos and trains from the past. It's great seeing vintage diesel and steam as well as classic locos and rolling stock. I also enjoy the opportunity to experience, see and operate railway equipment and routes I would probably not have the opportunity to see and visit in my lifetime. Very relaxing. I really enjoy and think you all did a great job creating Train Simulator !

This is my take on the most well known train simulator on this earth. So TSC is a great train simulator it doesn't cost to much money (cough cough TSW cough cough) and most of the routes are actually quality excluding a few. If your looking for a game that has many MANY railways go with this instead of TSW. I hate to say it but in my opnion this is better Then Train Sim World. Also it has like 10X the routes then Train Sim World has ever had. The DLCS aren't as pricey as TSW and they usually contain the entirety of the line. (COUGH COUGH TSW) Also when dlcs go on sale THERE A STEAL. If your looking for a game that probably has some routes you want that TSW doesn't have get this. If you want to add mods get this. And if your looking for a Game that isn't overpriced get this over TSW. Those are my final thought do not leave a comment >:(

this game is too expensive for what you get, also it has a lot of troubles running on windows. if your gonna play this game anyway install a copy of linux and play this under steam's proton compatibility layer. it will run a lot better and won't crash due to a mysterious memory error. a better way to play it is to pirate all the content and play it that way, else you will spend many thousands of dollars to get the "full" game
