Trainz Simulator 2 offers plenty of variety too, thanks to its multiplayer mode and the ability to create one's own routes. The controls are both sometimes too sensitive (when manipulating the speed dial) and too awkward to tap (certainly where the small menu buttons are concerned), but it's never so infuriating as to make one quit.
Traveling from station to station is often a little slow going, even at high speeds, but that's part of Trainz Simulator 2's charm. There's a mixture of free roaming sections and missions, ensuring that Trainz Simulator 2 is oddly intriguing. During more complex missions, one is also required to couple and decouple carriages. Players have to ensure that they keep to the speed limits throughout the game, as well as read signals accurately. Indeed, a lot of time can and should be spent on them there's a lot to learn. Proving to be rather complex, it's reassuring to see that Trainz Simulator 2 offers some comprehensive tutorials.
As the name suggests, it enables players to control trains in a simulated and vaguely realistic environment.
However, Trainz Simulator 2 really does match that idea. It's a bit of a reviewing cliche to say that any game is only intended for those who like that sort of thing.
