The graphics were great, the sound was good, and the gameplay was just addictive beyond belief.

I spent a lot of time on RT2 and despite old graphics, it's better that RT3. That's because RT2 is more challenging than RT3. But still could me more demanding :D

This game is still great to play. I played all the Railroad Tycoon's when they first came out but recently decided to play this again (including the Second Century campaign that I hadn't played previously). Had an absolute hoot. Although the graphics are slightly dated, there was a few issues getting it working in Windows 10 and some of the Second Century campaign is so tough that you need a little luck, the game is a compelling joy to play. I'm not sure I've ever tried to go for a completionist walk through **** before but I enjoyed this so much I was determined to get the Gold medal on every mission and ended up sinking a serious amount of time into it again. If I'd scored this back when it first game out 20 years ago it would have been a 9, but still a great 8 today.

So incredibly detailed it'll blow you away.

All aboard! This game will appeal to sim fans and model-train collectors alike.

Tremor has done a much better job in porting Railroad Tycoon 2 over to Sega's console than was done with the rather poor PlayStation version.

Next stop, mild amusement.

The game is packed with over 70 scenarios including everything from the original Railroad Tycoon II and their Second Century expansion pack, plus all new scenarios designed exclusively for the Dreamcast.

As a fan of a transport simulation genre after seeing all these very positive comments everywhere I decided to buy this one. And I was rather disappointed. Graphics and user interface are very outdated and annoying (but we all know it's not a main thing in games like this), but the gameplay is mediocre and overall transport simulation is not at a very detailed level which is more important. It's definetely not a very good game, despite very positive comments made by fanboys. Actually couldn't recommend this one except maybe for collectors.
