Indian Train Simulator puts players in control of some of the country's most powerful trains as they roam over a wide variety of different tracks. The game is made by the same team behind the renowned Euro Train Simulator. Returning fans can expect the same level of detail found in that groundbreaking simulator. But Highbrow Interactive isn't just providing more of the same with this release.

Indian Train Simulator offers some impressive innovations over its predecessor. One of the most noteworthy additions comes in the form of a new track-changing system. Track changing is one of the more important aspects of real-world systems. However, it's quite rare to find it properly implemented in simulations. But train fans can expect to experience it, possibly for the first time, when experiencing Indian Train Simulator.

Of course, the features which made Euro Train Simulator such a success make a return as well. Players who loved the feeling of a populated world in the game's predecessor are in for a treat. Indian Train Simulator is filled with life and activity. On the train side of things, players can expect to see a wide variety of other trains working through the same rail system. Each train is given special attention and controlled by a versatile AI system. Players will feel immersed in the world as they use the signaling system to work with other trains to maneuver within a lush landscape and populated rail system.

The game also opens up the world on a more sociological level. What's a passenger train without passengers? Rest assured, Indian Train Simulator is full of people eager to ride your train. Each of the stations in the game is modeled after real-life locations in India. Likewise, the people populating those stations have an authentic appearance that perfectly matches the area. You'll feel as if you're stepping right into the various locations in India when you watch the people climb aboard your train. You even have full control of the train's doors.

Of course, not everyone plays games the same way. And this is especially true of simulator games. Some people enjoy having their simulations mimic reality as closely as possible. These types of players enjoy the stress that can come from trying to keep pace with busy schedules. Others enjoy the more laid-back atmosphere derived from simply driving a train and enjoying the true-to-life sights and sounds of India. The game covers different players' tastes by offering three different game modes. Players can choose from Drive, Play Now, and Express.
