This game gets many of the mechanics of Transport Tycoon Deluxe right, but misses the ones that made the game fun. The rail building is very limiting, signals are a joke. They obviously aimed at a more realistic rail construction, but you can't do very obvious and common splits and joins because the editor won't allow it. I recommend Transport Fever instead. I think it is dishonest that they keep selling Train Fever after releasing Transport Fever. The former is basically just a tech demo of the latter. Very incomplete.
== SPOILER == Don't have a character who has been saved many times just murdered out of the blue. Otherwise very good story.
The story is very well written, but in my opinion they put too many hints so I saw the main arc coming an hour or two into the game. There are many moments where I was looking for a puzzle to solve in order to advance the story, but the puzzle wasn't there and all I needed to do was to go 3 screens back and then back again to see that something new is happening.
