description
What's a Japanese video game console release like without exotic Japanese games? From the makers of the popular Densha de Go! series comes the very first PlayStation3™ train simulation game -- Railfan.

The game emphasizes on realism and allows you to drive trains in three different locations, including Chicago's brown line, part of Tokyo's JR system and Osaka. Your task in the game is simply, you need to run the train properly and make sure to stop on time at each station. Controls are pretty simple as well, you only need to control the train's throttle.

Railfan differs from other train simulation games mainly by its graphics. The game's graphics are displayed by a streaming video of the actual train lines. The camera shakes to give you the feeling of a moving train and cut-scenes will display additional overhead views of the train.

    Railfan
    To be honest I found the game rather boring. Sure its a rail sim but there are menus between each stop you conduct. The menus are 90% in Japanese. There is an instruction sheet, but it didn't help me much. I kept saving replays all the time.

    Flawless if it isnt for the language barrier
    Railfan is the most unique and simulated game i have ever played, the gameplay is truly the surface for next gen gaming. But you will have to be true fan of train simulator to get the most out of this title. Patience and the english instructions if a must if you dont understand the language but this is a true gem when this game is mastered.

    A great
    Uses full motion video - looks great and is pretty easy to figure out how to play. If you are looking for something different, give Railfan a try!

    great train-sim
    funny train simulation with very nice graphics! the asia version includes an english operation-sheet. playable without japanese knowledge.

    ich kann das spiel jedem empfehlen, der auch nur ansatzweise interesse an bahnstrecken zeigt. die strecken von railfan sind sehr sehenswert.
    auch der spielumfang stimmt! zugreifen! =)
