Hmm... maybe 'cause the railroad sim genre isn't that great to begin with (same with racing sim). For such a game to get amazing scores it would have to be more than just the "greatest rairoad simulator ever".

Racing sim genre isn't that great to begin with? Are you insane? You need to go check reviews of other racing sims.

Hey, just stated my opinion. It's a pretty meh genre that just tries to simulate real life and be as "realistic" as possible. Sadly, this limits the possibility of creativity and innovation, that games that are not simulators have of creating amazing gameplay experiences (this applies to any kind of sim).

If you like cars and racing you'll probably find such a game enjoyable, however a racing sim isn't the type of genre that will appeal to everyone if the developers don't aim to create something that's more than just "the greatest racing sim ever". A truly great game is should be so amazing that it transcends it's genre getto and appeals to people that wouldn't even play that type of game.

As I said, racing sims don't really allow much room for creativity, as their aim is to simulate reality. "Innovations", such as adding car damage don't really do much to make the experience any more fresh, new or exciting. It's simply a genre where you get the feeling that "if you've played one, you've played them all". It's no wonder even reviewers are getting bored of this type of game.
