Train simulator PS2

[LaParka]

Whats a good train simulator for the PS2 (jap) for a newb to the genre price wise and ability wise?

[butchcvc]

i'd either choose densha de go! final or train simulator real - yamanote line

densha final is more playable and easier but train simulator real is great for scenary (the game is actual video footage), i'd personally get both!

you're a star

How easy are the controllers to pick up? Are they just as playable without them (until i can source one)?

I have only ever played them with the dual shock.

Do you have a Japanese/Asian/Modded PS2 as the Train Simulator titles are dual layer and won't work with Swap Magic.

Another you may like to consider is Train Simulator: Kyushu Shinkansen as the fast train options have ATC (Automatic Train Control). At least, the non-stop run does (I have not tried the stopping options). This does make it a lot easier to control and makes stopping in the right place reasonably easy as well. I did write about this game on butchcvc's web site.

only the following games dont work with swap magic....

train simulator kyushu shinkansen (dvd9)
train simulator keisei, toei, keikyu (dvd9)


the following do work with swap magic......

train simulator yamanote line
train simulator keihin express



The best controller is the densha de go! type 2 controller. it isnt compatible with all the games, but is perfect for most densha de go! games and train simulator yamanote line.
