Railroad tycoon II… another empire building strategy apart from this time it is on an iron road – much harder! Railroad tycoon involves you to think carefully and hard as you only have one chance at this game (You are only provided with enough starting capital to buy 1-2 engines and cargo cars, two stations and stand the losses you are bound to endure for a short period). The idea of the game is simple – dominate the world market and make lots of money all within 20-30 years, possible you may think. The costs look small but are craftily shown in K (times 1000 e.g. 30k is really 30,000) and you quickly run out of money. To survive longer than 3-4 ... Read the complete review

They pay you £10 an hour to play this game!!! How amazing is that??? Well, actually............ they don't pay you a single cent. I just wanted to get your attention :) But now that I have your attention you may as well read on! This is a really enjoyable game to play. Its a game that comes with a fairly hefty manual but everyone knows people don't like to spend 15 hours reading a manual so guess what? They have included a tutorial game! Have fun while you learn how to play. That's what stopped it from going to the bottom of the burnt out CD's box in my room and I am so happy that it didn't. Idea of the Game ================ ...

Railroad Tycoon 2 is a big improvement on the original. This is not too difficult to achieve in terms of graphics, because the original was invented when anyone with a 386 processor knew they had the best system around. However, it is amazingly difficult to beat in terms of game play. Chris Sawyer tried his hand at it and produced another (now elderly) brilliant game, (Transport Tycoon) which was a marked improvement on the original. How, then, is it possible to improve upon something which has been developed to such a fine point and improved almost to perfection before you start. The answer is that I don’t know, and I don’t think there is anyone who does. ... Read the complete review

Your first thoughts about this game would be NO WAY. Why would i want to build a railway and watch my trains going from chicago to texas for an hour just to end up bankrupt. Well these were my thoughts anyway, but your thoughts about the game change slightly when you load the game. The maps are amazing the attention to detail is superb and far from boring. Not only do you build your track, choose your trains and build custom stations but you have to fight off lots of rivals. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a once prosporous rail company fall under your feet. The aspect of the game i like most though is the fact that you can build your own maps, meaning you can ... Read the complete review

For me this game was just ideal because I have a passion for trains and love the tycoon series of games! I really liked the objective of this game which is to create your own railraod company and also manage it, which is the hard part! The controls are brilliant and really simple making it ideal for the gameplay. You build your own railraod tracks, stations etc so as your railroad company grows so does your company. You really can literally make your own railraod empire and it is so exciting to see it develop! I was really impressed with the amount of different train types you can get, there are 60 different engine types and 30 cargo types which gives you a ... Read the complete review
