Rail Simulator is a piece of software that seems to accomplish what it set out to do. It doesn't do it with much panache, graphical or otherwise, but it gets it done. You drive trains, and build worlds to drive them in.

Despite a number of imperfections, Rail Simulator is a unique and strangely satisfying venture into the realm of railways operation. It can be extremely peaceful or bustling and chaotic depending on how you choose to play. The point is it's very easy to tailor to a player's own personal taste.

Whether the newcomer goes on to supplant Microsoft Train Simulator as the sim of choice for those wishing to drive hundreds of other lines depends a lot on what tools the developer delivers and what the community create with those tools.

Rail Simulator devrait contenter tous ceux qui avaient passé de nombreuses heures sur Train Simulator ces dernières années. Cependant, il faudra télécharger ou créer soi-même du contenu sous peine de rapidement tourner en rond.
