Some Good, Some Bad, Very Okay

I never cared much about trains until I got hooked on the original Railroad Tycoon on my Amiga 500 and began buying every railroad themed strategy game that came out including this one. It's certainly not a bad game but it does suffer by virtue of my expectations when it comes to a game bearing the name of gaming god, Sid Meier. There is some fun to be had with some interesting scenarios and very nice detailing on the trains. The biggest drawbacks for me were the claustrophobic scale of the maps (feels more a tabletop train simulator than a representation of intercity railroad commerce), micromanagement problems that make even the 1990 original game a more seemless gaming experience and occasional crashes that sink a mediocre title into the realm of 'I wonder what else is on sale'.

A true Sid Meier game.

This gane has all the hallmarks of a typical Sid Meier game, and that can only be a good thing. This is in my opinion the best transport sim since good old Transport Tycoon (1&2). The graphics are characteristically "cute" and really make the game come to life. My only minor gripe is that it is a bit on the easy side. Then again, I've been playing these types of games since Civilization 1, so I do have som experience. No matter what tho, this is a must have in anyones collection.

Well...

Compared to the original Railroad Tycoon by Sid Meier from MicroProse, this is but a shallow spin-off. Another example of where nice graphics cannot compete with good gameplay. The whole game has been simplified down to a level that makes no sense to me. Where in the original you even had to upgrade components of your station (add cold-storage, hotels, restaurants etc.) now you just are 2 clicks away from a fully expanded terminal. Also the terrain survey is no more (nice to place your tracks optimally). I really don't know what gets into game designers nowadays. Sure, some older games are pretty complex, but that did not make them unplayable. Today, RPGs do not require your party to carry along their food rations anymore, flight sims do not require joysticks (and thrusters and pedals), and railroad simulations are down to easy point-and-click. Still, it is a nice game for killing some time, but far away from being as addictive as the original which I still enjoy.

Guaranteed fun!

Another great game by Sid. Instantly it's fun. The graphics are nice enough for it's time. The GUI is easy to navigate. Laying tracks is easy compared to other track laying sims I've played. It runs on Windows 10 but I had to set windows graphics res. to 1024 x 768.

Flawed, but still pulls me back...

There are real problems with this game. It is prone to crashing. Some of the routing makes little sense. The investment engine is extremely limited. Starting a game in the modern era makes starting trains hugely expensive. But. The aesthetic is still beautiful. It's still a huge challenge at top difficulty. And above all it's still hugely addictive. It's massively satisfying to connect all of Germany or to become the king of industry in the Midwest. The good by far outweighs the bad. Don't come in expecting the kind of excellent campaign mode, nor the sometimes-maddening difficulty of Railroad Tycoon 2. Do expect the same majesty and romance of the rails in a simplified form.
