Pros
- The attention to detail and accurate representation of various elements - including train sounds and weather - do make this a truly captivating simulation game.
- It goes without saying that train enthusiasts will probably enjoy playing Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 as it essentially puts players in charge of driving their own train.
- The program includes an editor for creating new routes, providing hours of additional entertainment.
Cons
- Some train enthusiasts may notice that not every paint scheme applied to locomotives is authentic in accordance with its historical origins.
- There are a few bugs and glitches, and areas where the game doesn't work as well in general. Some players have reported problems with things like activating switches.
- Load times are long and although there is tons of DLC, they all cost extra and the prices add up quickly for people who want to buy a lot of DLC.
There are a few train simulation games available for PC, but none of these competitors has quite the same graphical feeling or technical innovation that Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 has. Train Simulator 2012 is, in fact, possibly the most graphically powerful computer train simulation game on the market. It claims to be the most advanced train simulator in the world.

The graphics in Train Simulator 2012 are incredible, with careful attention to details and even special effects like changing weather to create the most immersive simulation game possible. Trains move fast and respond in similar ways as their real life counterparts, with authentic sounds and an additional editor option that allows players to create their own tracks.
