    This game is faster to get into than some in the genre but I think that to do this they just made it too simple. It is still fun but the real challenge just seems to be missing. Overall I think that it is worth getting if you want to get into the genre, but there are better more challenging games out there for the more experinced player.

    It feels a bit like a stripped down Railroad Tycoon. You send out scouting parties to explore new land, build stations and track, send trains, and even a bit of shady dealings with competitors. My main complaint, is the atmosphere. It seems too "kiddy", it doesn't really have the buisness and number chrunching that Sid Meier's had. Overall though, it is a fun light game, well worth the cost, but don't be expecting to still be playing this game years from now.

    A fine little railroad game, particularly for $5. Somewhat like Sim City meets Monopoly, it's about building rail networks for profit. You research new vehicles, engage in trade (money rules!), and generally try to take over an area. As you deliver goods to various location, new businesses grow, using the good you bring. All in all, a pretty fun game with good graphics and sound. My only complaint is the maintenance system. Trains and cars wear down over time, which is fine, but trains become harder to maintain over time, which is annoying, since they have to be repaired more often. Also, you can only order repairs when trains are between stations, but the repairs are only done at stations, which is also annoying. The maintenance issue aside, it's well worth the $5 you pay for this game.
