World of Subways 1 – The Path

You can't compare a game that came out 4-5 years ago to a game released this year..that's pretty absurd. Anyways, yes, the game is pretty basic in terms of control. It's a simulator based on simulating one thing, controlling the PATH train. There actually is a career mode, but it's not in the sense of career mode most people are used to. It's called 'Shift Duty' in this case. You can play any time-table of which I'd assume was the PATH schedule back in that day with three different types of cars. The camera angles are limited but, hey, it's a simulator, you're suppose to be driving a train, not go ape-shit wanting to view the doors open from the outside, you're suppose to be in the cab; plain and simple. I must admit though, the game is definitely not worth the $19.99 at this day in age. They do have other versions, not sure if released on Steam though, Vol 2 in Berlin and Vol 3 in London I believe. They also have a Vol 4 coming that would feature the (7) line in NYC. By the way, I'...

If you've ever played Train Simulator 2015, prepare to take a step down in terms of interface and controls and general functionality of the game. I would say the price is a little high, perhaps $9.95 (US) would have been more appropriate than $19.95. The camera controls are basic, there's no zoom, FOV or adjustment of exterior camera. You can't open the train doors unless the camera view is in the driver's cabin, so you can't see the doors opening and closing, or passengers boarding. It's a very basic sim, there's no career mode or any of the usual things you find in games. It has an indie "pet project" feel about it for sure! It might appeal to someone who is familiar with this actual line in real life. If you've lived in NY, this sim might be interesting, but even then it's still niche. Train Simulator 2015 has an excellent feature where you can move the camera from the front to the back outside the train, and zoom in and out and around, and still maintain control of the tr...

World of Subway's 1 - The Path, is a game which is not for the hardcore train simulation fan's, some may like it, some may not, but in my opinion, it saves a spot in my book. So when you get the game for the very first time, you can see that the menu is very basic and plain, but remember this is a game which came out in 2009, not 2015. When you choose the timetable, the type of train you have selected and the location, the loading time takes about 10-15 seconds, so you dont have to complain about the time it takes to load. Then you come to the one big downside of the the game which really ticked me off, when you get into the subway train for the first time, some of the controls are unbinded on the train itself which is annoying, so your going to have to go to the options menu and bind all the train controls that way. The other thing that people may not like is the graphics, there very Mircosoft Train Simulator like, which doesn't bother me at all and the next downside to the game...

EDIT: I think it's time to update this review a bit since the information I had when I first wrote it is now outdated. I still remember when this first came out in 2008, at the time we had Microsoft Train Simulator (from 2001) as the major train simulation game, and this seemed like a huge step forward in many aspects. Sadly, time hasn't been kind to the first rendition of World of Subways. I would really like to give a positive review, because I believe this game can still be impressive today under the right circumstances. WoS 1 allows you to drive subway trains through the Port Authority Trans-Hudson network as it existed back in 2008 when the current World Trade Center was still in construction. You can control functions of the train like the destination board, air conditioning, open and close the doors from either side, play audio announcements with passenger information like the next station and final destination. And, obviously, you have the basic train driving features like re...

A cool, older train simulator, for enthusiasts. Don't compare it to more modern and/or extensible simulators. Pros: -physics -quite good graphics for it's time -easy to learn, hard to master, challenging -realistic schedules and shifts -chance to drive already retired trains -runs on a P4 toaster -fully customizable controls Cons: -freezes sometimes -schrecklichen englischen Sprache -when in schedule mode, if the real train had a 10 minute wait, then you have to wait 10 minutes too. 15-20-30 on NWK, or at night. -not extensible (no custom trains, routes, schedules anything) -the expansion is not sold on Steam

This is a comment o Subways 4 -7th Ave. Line / I doubt anyone will read this but I feel I must make a quick comment. Although born and raised in Wash. D.c., all my family lived in New York or one of itw boroughs. I fell in love with the RED BIRF. The one i thengame is NOT it . There is no subway sound...no grinding hum when staarting or when decelerating. No hight-pithced wail whentearing down the tracks. No "electrical" pops when going over a short. Until these arfe corrected or addedI will savemyh money and continue to be disappointed. Jerry Cohen

It's an okay product for $10. It's cool if you want to experience something different other than Train Simulator. Yeah some of the scenery is inaccurate and there's bugs galore, but what do you expect for a $10 game? The only severe issues I've encountered so far is that there is no tutorial mode for new players, none of the important buttons and levers (throttle, brake, etc) are mapped meaning first time users will have to manually map the buttons themselves, and the biggest problem is that the game crashes whenever you attempt to change the graphics settings. I don't mean crashing in game because you jacked the graphics to max settings, I mean you change the settings in the menu, hit "OK" to save it, the game crashes, and none of your changes are saved, meaning the game is perpetually stuck at the default graphics settings. I'll keep this game and play it as is because it was cheap and it's the only real simulation of the PATH line out there. However if the game cost any more than th...

It was a major step in genre of rail simulator on these days. Definitely must have! Still challenging and fun. Very atmospheric.
