Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I want a refund!
Review: This game has a lot of problems. The track-laying tool is so unwieldy as to be almost useless in steep terrain. There is no help facility (you have to go to the manual), and no "undo" tool. You can only run 6 cars per train. If you want a car to stay with the train, you have to re-enter it at every station. The program emphasizes business/money aspects, not operations or engineering. To succeed, you have to deal with non-railroad aspects such as investing in other companies' stocks. Try Zoo Tycoon instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum Edition... Something for All!
Review: This game has everything! In this business simulation, you will become a tycoon. You will use all of your wits to outplay your opponents, and in the end you will (hopefully) outwit them all! In order to succeed, you will be required to make key decisions that will force you to evaluate the importance of particular items to particular places. You will not have enough money for everything so you will be forced to evaluate the importance of each city. Do not be fooled, the big ones are not always the best. And, you will need to invest and play the stock market.

I found this game to be addicting! Once you begin, you will fight to stay in control of your company. The games have levels that are really easy, and as you become more and more of a tycoon, there are more challenging levels ahead.

I also play Roller Coaster Tycoon, and this game is a MUCH better business simulation game, because you actually play the stock market! Lots of fun, you will play for hours and never bore...

All aboard!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not enough money
Review: This game is very fun, but you never get enough money. And it is SO boring while you wait for your funds to accumulate!
