Reception

IGN gave RailWorks a seven out of ten, or "good", stating that the game "doesn't bring a lot of new stuff to the genre" and graphically "lacks the high-end flair of today's top-level titles".

RailWorks 2 won the award for Simulation of the Year 2010 by readers of Game Industry News (GiN).
