It's fantastic.
Complex stock options. Buy short ect.
Issue shares, millions of them if you want to.
Buy out other companies. Innovative, and fun. Though I wish the A.I was about 10 times smarter. But still, the game is excellent.
Track layout, I love how it works.
The maps are huge. I love the graphics. So much better than Sid Meier's Railroads.
In RRT3 you can zoom in and out to incredible distances.
On the texas map, it can take a train 30 seconds to reach it's next stop. The map sizes are GREAT.
I like how the cargo assigns automatically.
The locomotives LOOK GREAT.
Love the economic model.
Quite simply, this game is still replayable four years after my original purchase.
For those who love the Railroad Tycoon series, this is one of those rare sequels that simply do not disappoint. Railroad Tycoon 3 improves upon one of the greatest games ever in a way that is truly astounding.
My biggest dislike about Railroad Tycoon 2 was the amount of micromanagement that was necessary in order to keep a large railroad empire running. That micromanagement is gone in RRT3, but for those who liked specifying exactly which cargo to put on each train, that option is still available.
The graphics are greatly upgraded, as is the game engine. Quite simply, this game just never gets tiring. Four years later, it is still one of the greatest games on the market.
