The game can be fun to play, especially to try and understand how boring some parts of driving a train can be, and then realising why trains crash on occasion - if I had to sit there doing that all day, then I think even I would speed round corners; just for the hell of it. And there is an element of skill involved in the game that takes some learning, for which you need to take time and put in the effort. Overall, I enjoyed the small amount of gameplay that I have put in, but cannot recomend the game fully because it is incomplete - to have a usable game, and really progress as a driver, you have to have the relevant tracks, and maybe even the trains. However to get these, you have to pay extortionate amounts of money through extra purchases, and then, BUYER BEWARE, you purchase some items that, in the small print, has a section that says you need another line to be able to play the line that you just purchased !!! Yes, I fell into this trap, paid £12, or thereabouts, for an 8 mile section of track that I wanted to try - only to find out that I need the £25 main section to be able to play it - this despite the fact that I have a retail version of the game - but that retail pack does not include that specific section of mainline - SO BE WARNED, THE GAME CAN ACTUALLY BE FUN, BIT ITS THE EXTRA CHARGES, REQUIRED TO GET A REAL GAME PLAY GOING, THAT WILL PUT YOU OFF.

The game name may be updated to 2019, and so is this review as such, but the game still remains a DLC rip-off charging people extra for items that should be included within the main game when purchased is simply poor form
