0/5, the game had potential but often felt like taking me for a complete fool. It left me head shaking. - Automatic freight choosing is really boring and stupid. - Awekward Interface. Often you need to move the mouse over the whole screen and click many times. This limits the playing speed very badly. - The mass of trains you need is ridiculous. That is even worse because there is no possibility to sort or group them. Calling one train a 'line' is stupid. - Using Signals feels very tedious and needless, also because there are no real crossings. - Why is there sand and oil? It has no effect. - Why are there shares when there is no dividend? Why do you have to buy 100% to merge? Shares don't work that way. - Why are there higher tier products? There is no point in making them. Every transport and factory gets you the same revenue. - Using personell is useless and extremely tedious, just as the resarch tree. - Weather effects are annoying and can not be switched off. The bright and dark from the clouds is very uncomfortable. Turning them off should be minimum. - Some of the scenarios goals are very stupid and feel like very bad level design. - Too much DLCs, too costly. - Trains behaviour and look is very uncool. Acceleration is stupidly fast and trains look like toys. There is no massiveness of real steam trains. I wonder if the developers ever saw one for real. - The first person camera while driving a train is very strangely attached and has limited looking angle. You can't even look at the train. Its a game about TRAINS, so, let me see the TRAIN. Feels very disappointing. - Playing with AI is absolutly no fun. Tracks can't intersect with theirs and the comments are very, very annoying. - Laying tracks can be very cumbersome at times, the new track bends very strangely. - Your built rail network looks like a mess. + Music is good. For me, Railroad Tycoon 2 is the better game in every single point, from graphics to interface to gameplay to campaign.
