You can only lay down track by connecting it to existing track. I've played Railroads! and it feels very simplistic by comparison. I guess I am too used to the control and choices in OpenTTD/TTD. This makes the gameplay A LOT more interesting than in RRT3. You can also bid for industries other players want to buy, everytime you or someone else starts buying a industry, a bidding process starts. The patent buying adds A LOT to the game, a company that can amass A LOT of beneficial patents is always assured to be in the lead. I think this is because the catenary would make the track harder to look at. Oh, and there is no catenary in the game, so electrics with pantographs can run without.

Gamespy has a professional review of the game.Īnd that rating is what i would agree with. I'd say this game is worth buying, even if you hate the scale of trains & buildings, cause its not very disturbing during the very smoothly running gameplay of Railroads.
The game under no circumstances is a direct clone of RRT3. Oh and cargo "annex" is cheaper than a station in a city, and all the Annex types have load animations for them & their associated wagons.Īlso cities have limited industry slots, each has three from what i can see, but this is only for manufacturing industries, supply industries like grain farms apperear outside cities, wich you must connect to, you can't haul the cargo from the nearest city. There are industry specific stations from what i've seen, and most of all the way trains load properly,a train goes car by car under a coal loader, and loading animations play as a car comes under the loader. All the locomotives have beatiful running sounds, the game looks good and runs impressively. I just got the game, and i must say i am impressed. Ah well, might aswell turn this into something meaningful.
