Unrealistic, poorly designed, crash-prone, no replay value

Im a huge fan of train games. And this game is the worst Ive ever played.

Scenarios are totally unrealistic - Each play-through generates a completely different set of resources and industries. If they actually match any history of the real world, its purely by random chance. Ironically, the Santa Claus at the North Pole scenario (where you have to deliver cookies, eggnog, wooden horses, and so on) may be the most realistic one, because you simply expect it to be a pure fantasy.

The number of single-player scenarios is very limited (just 8, and no mod-ability), and reply value is very low. The multiplayer scenarios all crash. Of the 8 single-player scenarios, Ive never been able to finish 2 because of video crashing (despite the computer being well above the minimum requirements).

Lots of UI and game management features seem horribly lacking compared to railroad games of 15 years ago. Sid Meier clearly attached his name to someone elses mediocre work.
