Not as Good as everybody says.
It seems as though all the reviewers are really high on the game. Let me just say that the game gets boring especially fast. I have always been a fan of railroad games. Railroad tycoon 3 kept my interest for hundreds of hours. Railroads could only keep me occupied for about 15 hours. It gets old, FAST.
The stock market aspect of Tycoon 3 is far more interesting, it is an actual facet of the game. Railroads barely pays any attention to this aspect, and the attention it pays is extremely simplified.
Maybe some first time railroad game players will enjoy it for longer than I did, but if you have played games of this type before, I would say that Railroad Tycoon 3 would be a far better bet!
