alright game but still waste of time..........
Let’s first take a look at the single player part. Here you can choose between playing a Sandbox game or campaigns. In the first you don’t have any money, everything is for free and there’s no competition. Can life be any sweeter ? You can lay tracks, choose trains and enjoy your building. By clicking an option that gives you all possible trains, you get access to about 48 of them which is more than enough, I think. Each one has its own characteristics which you have to take into account; pulling speed, steam, diesel or electricity, … an important factor is for instance the appeal at the general public; if the public can choose between an ugly train on a direct line or a beautiful one which takes a small detour, you can bet they’ll choose the latter.Another new thing in Railroad Tycoon 3 (or should I say improvement) is the way how the cargo is being dealt with. While in the previous game you had to point where everything needed to be loaded, the computer will arrange that for you now although you can still choose to do it yourself. A big improvement if you ask me.
