    4.0 out of 5 stars Moving on to the next generation, August 1, 2011
    = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Rail Works 2 (PC) (UK) (DVD-ROM)
    I have had MSTS for many years, added routes and some custom locos and rolling stock - both payware and freeware. I also spent over $150 on a Rail Driver controller (more than I spent for MSTS and the addons.)

    However, when my XP pc crashed two years ago, I upgraded to a VISTA 64 pc. MSTS ran OK, but my RailDriver would not work.

    It is now apparent that MSTS won't ever be upgraded, and it is looking kind of out of date.

    So I got RailWorks2, which DOES work with my Rail Driver.

    Overall, I am very pleased. The things I miss from MSTS don't matter too much, but they are:

    I think the controls and "physics" were a bit more accurate in MSTS, I miss some sounds (dynamic braking sound is very low in RW2, if it is even there), night time lighting from locomotive lights is very anemic.

    Things I like about RW2: better graphics, better ways to "see" what is happening to the train one is driving, and the environment of the tracks... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate Train Simulator.... The Best of the Bunch!, June 14, 2011
    = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Rail Works 2 (PC) (UK) (DVD-ROM)
    I've tried Trainz 2010 and TS12, I own MSTS, and I can tell you this.... Railworks is the best of the bunch because it really has the least shortcomings of all the other trainsims.

    The Trainz series are good... don't get me wrong but they pretty much have a serious graphics stuttering problem and horrible pop up issues with the graphics...even on high end gaming machines. When they iron that out we'll have some good competition again in this Genre.

    Railworks 2 on the other hand runs beautifully on me computer with all graphics settings to the max I7 950/Nvidia 5780 GTX Win7 64bit. High quaility addons for Railworks 2 are starting to snowball on to the market as well... just take a look at steam or google "Railworks 2 addons" and you'll see what I mean. Also a great source for gameplay videos is Youtube.... check it out and then pick up a copy of Railworks2

    Railworks 2 is lots of fun for train sim fans...You won't be sorry.

    This review is from: Rail Works 2 (PC) (UK) (DVD-ROM)
    This game is awesome. I have enjoyed model railroading for 23 years now. It is hard, if not impossible to take a model railroad on military deployments. This game gives me the chance to drive trains on realistic routes and jobs. Once I got the hang of the different functions, I enjoy playing this game. I would recommend this game for anyone who is on the move or doesn't have the space for a model railroad. Great product!
