I think that this game is the ultimate for tycooners. I have sevral tycoons (mall, roller caoster,school,airport and railroad)and this one is my favourite. Not just can you make a railroad, you can make citys and stores!! This game is great.

So much charm and fun....

I write this after owning and playing Railroad Tycoon II and Railroad Tycoon III extensively. To be honest, I like RRT II better because it has a certain charm to it graphically. It is very well presented and works fine. The only thing that would make me recommend RRT III over II is the micromanagement can be a bit overwhelming in RRT II. The third game takes care of a lot of this, but at the same time, takes away some of your abitlity to manage your railroads effectively. All in all, I would say if you are playing on a laptop, go for RRT II and if you are on a desktop with a decent graphics card, then go for RRT III. Railroad Tycoon III is a very beautiful game in its own right, I just prefer the art style of Railroad Tycoon 2 :)

Awesome game!

This game is just awesome! The graphics are high quality and realistic, the gameplay is good and it is overall very fun! I enjoy playing in Sandbox mode where I can make train tracks all over the US. The downside is...you have to tell each train what cargo to tow and it takes some effort to find 2 cities that have demands for each other...
Also your trains can break down, there can be robbers, the cities grow and you can build your own map! The fun is endless!

I want a refund!

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.

Not enough money

This game is very fun, but you never get enough money. And it is SO boring while you wait for your funds to accumulate!
