Guide Review
Be a Train Engineer
I've never had much of a fascination with trains. I've only been on a train a few times, mainly because when I was growing up trains were not a popular method of transportation. However, I found "Train Simulator" to be fun and challenging. There is something about controlling the train and going through metropolitian areas that was satisfying. If you like a lot of action in your games, skip this one. Some of the routes are very long and sometimes uneventful. Overall, the game is a joy to play. If trains interest you, try it out.
