If you like economic type games, one that tests your skills in owning your own business, then this is the game for you.
Also, the stock market effect in this game is awesome. Very good game and one that is addictive.
The graphics are excellent and the levels of difficulty are fairly easy to down right impossible.
If you do not have this game, I highly reccomend it!
This game is about almost all of the aspects of running a railroad empire, you build stations and lay track that connects them, then you buy a locomotive and decide(depending on circumstances) what cargo to haul. You have a LOT of locomotives to choose from(steam,diesel,electric) and about 28 cargo cars, a diner and a caboose. However, this game does not neglect the financial aspects of running a business. There is what we can call the second part of the game- the stock market. It can make or brake you and your company. You can buy out a company or be taken over, or you can earn cash from dividends. For those people who are not entirely excited about stock market, the game gives you an option to turn OFF most of the aspects of the stock market.
A definite plus for parents concerned about the violence in today's video games, I can say with confidence that YOU CANNOT KILL anyone in this game. Nobody can die or be killed, no cussing occurs and blood is ever spilled. For some people it is a plus. For me it is a great relaxant to see trains chugging from station to station. ...things.
