Description
Railroad Tycoon 3 features 25 scenarios challenging players to recreate magnificent feats of railroading history from around the world. Players can lay track (including tunnels and overpasses), pick from over 40 locomotives from early steams to modern bullets, choose to haul over 35 types of cargo in a dynamic economy, and participate in an advanced stock market.

The new 3-D engine takes the franchise to the next level, allowing smooth scaling from an 'eye in the sky' view of an entire continent down to super detailed close-up of a beautifully modeled train, building, or just the landscape. Railroad Tycoon 3 also includes more multiplayer support than its predecessor, integrating an on-line chat and matchmaking service. To top everything off, the game's soundtrack features another installment of some of the best authentic blues, bluegrass, and Americana music around.

Broken game

Takes a LOT of work to get it running on modern computers. Just from the sheer amount of stuff you have to google and fixes you have to download, it's almost not worth it to buy this official version rather than simply downloading a pirated copy that has all the fixes and works out of the box. Railroad Tycoon II, however, works just fine on new computers, so I would recommend buying that game instead.

Difficult mouse controls

Thre mouse controls are rediculous. The tutorial is not much help. Overall I am quite dissappointed with the playability.

A downgrade form Railroad Tycoon II

How did they take Railroad Tycoon II and make a squeal that is a downgrade? -Clunky controls compared to 2 -Fewer scenarios than 2 -Bad in-game camera compared to 2 -Messy UI compared to 2 -Fewer things to build in sandbox mode compared to 2 -Be careful with the graphics settings as they will crash, unlike 2 My advice is to play Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum.

Forget multiplayer

I do not think they rewrote completely from scratch the network layer. Actually, I am quite sure they did not since it is mentioned LAN only. Let me tell you than the network layer is completely broken: it is not that it disconnects you readily and often. It lets you play for a while... with two maps changing differently on each client. You'll see lines of other players unfinished and wonder why they are not tended too, you'll be happy with your own lines that actually will looks unfinished to others players. Finally, you'll get a crash when it wont be possible to make sense of all the differences among clients. You'll load a savegame and... it will be utter trash except for the client that did the said savegame. It is not really LAN play but LAN garbage. Bugs were noticed when the game went out but they soon stopped providing fixes and patches.
