User Rating: 7.8 | Railroad Tycoon 3 PC
For anyone who has never played either of the previous versions or Railroad Tycoon, this in not one to miss. However, for those of you that have, this is mostly a graphically updated version of RT 2. Previous players will have to get used to the 3D presentation, which after playing 1 and 2 for over a dozen years will take time. To its credit, the animation is excellent and there are new maps. I do wish, however, that the 'station resource boxes' of earlier versions were available. It's not quite as easy in RT 3 to keep track of what stations are piling up with goods and what trains are either under or over worked. Resources are also a bit harder to locate in the heavy graphics. A good game, but I think some of the features that made the first two so playable got left behind in favor of 'glitz'.
