Nice graphics, varietyless gameplay.
The bad: Small maps, few industries, low amount of engines and locomotives, you can only build from a starting track and station, can't build if not adjacent.
The good: you can buy stocks of your company to avoid being taken over, competitor's companies and eventually take over them, lease industries and buy them, and build your own industries also. An innovation (at last!!!) when a new product (car) is released you got the chance to buy the rights of exclusivity and be the only one available to make it.
It's like a simple railroad tycoon, like a RRT for kids, not much complex with really good looking graphics, too much I think, increasing the requirements to run it smoothly, witch is unnecesary in an economy game.
You can't build a track wherever you want, no, just extend the track from your starting station, located in a city you do NOT choose. Cars are summoned from heaven as in RRT (something I hated all the way), as they fill in you will see it reflected on the wagon, pretty nice, but we all know graphics are not the escential part of a game.
In fact, I haven't played much, so I can't say anything about the campaign and missions, but I know what the game allows me to do, and franckly, it's nothing compared to RRT or Transport Tycoon 1 neither.
