 Crash crash CRASH July 26, 2010
BBruno
This is, by far, the buggiest game ever created. It's crashed at least 20 times a session, causing me to have to restart from the autosave. I'm not sure why the developers never created a patch that works, but it's beyond frustrating.
 It may not be Railroad Tycoon 4, but it is still fun! May 6, 2010

People are knocking this game down because it isn't as complex of a game as Railroad Tycoon. Last time I checked this game was not part of the Railroad tycoon series. This is a much simpler game to start and get into, as someone said earlier, more for the casual crowed. It is not bad for a game to be aimed for the casual crowd. I have played many hours with this game because it is a great time waster and if you're not looking for a hardcore sim, you might have some fun too.
Enjoyable Entertainment. May 2, 2010
C. Renkel (Ocala, FL)
I'm a big Sid fan and have always wanted to play this game since I played all of his others. I found it to be fun and enjoyable. It's not near as deep as the Civ series but offers some detail. The animations and graphics are great and sounds are pleasing enough. Overall, I find it to be great, light entertainment.
 Enjoyable, but buggy and SecuRom DRM ruins it (again) April 14, 2010
demon (Brooklyn, New York)
Enjoyed the game - graphics are nice, and basic game play can be picked up very quickly. Unfortunately the DRM requires the disc and apparently an internet connection every time you play. What is worse is that the DRM occasionally decides the disc is a copy instead of the original and wont let you play. The game crashes from time to time for no apparent reason (I have installed the patch and have a PC *far* beyond requirements) and I suspect the DRM may be responsible.
This is yet another game that I would probably play over and over if it weren't for SecuRom DRM restrictions (SecuRom version 7.30.0012). As a result, after a few days of play, I am about to uninstall the game and will probably never install it again, and will be far less likely to buy another Sid Meiers title again.
 A fun game to play. Just one scenerio. March 25, 2010
T. Chau (Miami, FL)
It was basic, fun, and easy to learn for the new railroad player. I enjoy it. If you want to play advance game,I will recommended to buy Railroad Tycoon 2 and 3. Those are more challenge and fun in a railroad world if you are interesting in.
Do not read other people's detail comment, they will make you confuse. If you decided to give a try, Just read the product descriptions and make your decision.
