Simutrans Reviews

Simutrans is not really in competition with OpenTTD and vice versa. They are complementary games with overall clearly different objectives. The latter being much closer to the model railroad world, the former being capable of actually providing a serious transport network simulation. None of the two is better – I play both with alarming regularity, depending on each day's mood.

The game has graphics good enough to get the job done, and simple enough to allow it to run on slower machines. The controls are mouse-driven, which makes for a very simple scheme to learn. If you are in to sim-games like Transport Tycoon or SimCity, then this will be an excellent download for you.

This I have found to be somewhat similar to Transport Tycoon, but it's free! A little hard to learn, but there is a manual on the site.
