Summary: This Game Kind of Plays Itself
Review: Woa! Not nearly as challenging as RT2. Consists are automatically controlled for you. All you need to do is connect a bunch of cities and make money. There's no micro-managing of goods like there was in RT2.

The economic model in RT3 really takes center stage. In fact, you can often make a fortune without even laying any track! And I thought this was a railroad game.

The bottom line, I bought RT3 to play a railroad game--to manage the railroad itself--not to play the stock market. I haven't been playing RT3 much at all since the first week I had it. Got boring quickly. Curiously though it sparked my interest in RT2 so I've been playing that :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great 3D engine...insane ecomony
Review: Wow! Be prepared to jump onto the forums and start your education. The economy is a total 108 from RT2. The learning curve can be very steep. You can start playing within minutes. But I've been playing for 5 days now and I still cannot grasp the economy. The manual does not explain it well. Fortunately there are a lot of people discussig it online and you can pickup tips there. Enjoy.
