This is from another site's review of my favourite anticipated game...yep...the Train Simulator:
For the hard-core train enthusiast, you'll be able to operate the dynamic brakes, locomotive brakes, and train brakes separately. You can sound the horns, whistles, and bells at crossings, turn windshield wipers and headlights on and off, and operate sanders to increase the wheel grip on slippery rails.
If all that sounds a bit daunting, an extensive manual with illustrations and definitions clarifies things, and an online help system and a number of tutorials
If you'd like to keep things simple, there are driving aids, such as track monitors and a heads-up display, as well as realism options that can reduce controls to just a few keys for a stress-free ride.
.........
You read it right folks, 3 kinds of brakes you can operate, whistles and headlights!
Will the 21st century ever bring us such gamin delights?
I doubt it.
And, if you have problems with all this, they've even included an extensive manual and online help?
Amazing.
And driver aids if it's too much?
Boys and Girls, if you need help or driving aids, chances are you probably cant open the box anyway.

Here's the joke:
Ant's so fat that when he jumped up, he got stuck.

There's a joke there somewhere...
The only reason I would buy this game would be to see how thick the manual is...
