A Satisfying Game

I used to play a much older version of this game and found that rich in detail, filled with many more scenarios. Like many reviewing here, I was excited to see this game. While the scenarios have been tweaked a bit, they are somewhat similar to the older version. There are also fewer of them. I would love to see add ons to this game.

All of that being said, I do enjoy this game a lot. The game play is familiar so it is very easy to pick up from the quick tutorial. The train graphics are great and look nicely detailed like small HO trains which is very cool. The sounds are fun, and it is always nice to see your city grow based on what you do. The bid feature on the businesses and train tech upgrades is a nice feature. This is one of those games that is fun to watch, even after you have completed the objectives in each scenario. Watching your rivals build in multi AI mode also is a great way to visualize good track layout (and bad).

For the dollars spent, you will get your entertainment value out of it and be left wanting more. That is a pretty good game standard in my view. I would give it 5 stars if it had a few more scenarios available.
