gooses review

This game does the railroad industry great justice. The original railroad tycoon was made sometime in the mid 1980s which shows that this series actually made a name for itself being older than any tycoon game I know of. People who like to look at trains or moddel train sets will probably like this game a lot. Also those people who like railroad museums will like this game as long as they know how to use a computer even if they don't like playing games on it. After playing railroad tycoon 2 this game was hard to get used to. The 3d look made it hard for me to get a grasp on the playing field and some things dissapear when you zoom out on the map. If you never played the first or second railroad tycoon game and you have good vision theres no problem with that. Probably the most important thing about this game is that its the only one you can find exciting that also has trains in it. Another important thing to note is the nastalgic single player campaigne. People who study American history knows that this nation was built on the back of the "iron horse" and this game gives you a unique insight into this pivatol factor in the progression of the world in the 1800s to about 1950.

Amazing Game

This is an amazing game. It one of the best tycoon games ever made. There is an accurate and easy-to-read budget with all factors taken into consideration. I like how you can put trains on auto-consist, so they pick up whatever will make money. However, if you have too many trains, it slows down your computer gameplay, like it does on my 128 Ram comp. There are many fun maps and scenarios to play. Supply, demand, price, competition, and other things are fun to manage. There are informative maps that show the supply and demand of certain products and the prices, so you can decide where to run trains to make a lot of money. However, you don't have to only run trains, you can buy industries, farms, and ranches, making them even more profitable by running products to and from them with trains. Stocks, bonds, profitability, controlling expenses versus income and other things make this game amazingly realistic and makes a unique challenge at any hardness level to be the ultimate tycoon. Also, there are no rules to regulate you from using underhanded maneuvers to stab your opponents and fellow tycoons in the back, or take over, or become chairman of their company. The graphics aren't great, but this is an amazing game and I would strongly recommend it for anyone who likes tycoon games.

Not as much fun as Rollercoaster Tycoon

I purchased Railroad Tycoon 3 for my 8-year-old son. We want him to play computer games that require some reading and conceptual challenges. For whatever reasons, he got bored and frustrated with this game relatively quickly. He still plays it sometimes (over a month since purchase), but he has been playing with Rollercoaster Tycoon regularly for over a year. So Railroad Tycoon is not as much FUN as Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, but he's learning more about geography and industry.
