Why? I never compared it to its predecessor. Judging by the fan community out there I'd say that the second part was at least as much fun as the first one. There are some that grunt but that's part of life!

RailRoad Tycoon was a classic, but RRT 2 was not much... sure, it upped the graphics, but lowered the gameplay...
I can't remember much from good old RRT(1) (But I remember I loved it back then), but in RRT2 it went from 'ok' to 'annoying', in the late game, because I every two seconds got a break-down/crash or something, even though I just replaced all trains with completely new trains
But I always hated about those RRT games, is the fact that you have to go through the editor, to set which AI's you want to play against...

To make my opinion clear...
Railroad Tycoon
Railroad Tycoon Deluxe
Railroad Tycoon II
Railroad Tycoon II TSC
Railroad Tycooon III
So I do agree with The Pioneer and point out that the AI is weak and cheats in RT and RTDX, unlike in RT2 where it's better."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

I was addicted to RRT2 when I first played it. But I soon found no matter what scenario, no matter what map you play; it's the same damn thing. The only fun part was using cheats to get those super fast trains.
To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

I think that RRT2 was an ok game, nothing more nothing less. But I thoroughly enjoyed Tropico. I still play it from time to time, just to have a good laugh.

The inability to build properly on slopes and the need to chain construction huts around killed it for me so swiftly I returned the game inside the 10 day period. If I could have got past those irritations I'm sure I'd have found an amusing game.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

There are other annoying bits too. Somehow, constructing buildings affects rainfall (

Well London is always 2 degrees warmer than the surrounding counties so it makes a small amount of sense, but I was unaware Tropico would allow you to build metropolises housing 8 million people

Now that the work on Tropico 2 is pretty much done, it's back to Railroad Tycoon 3!
That's right, Take-2 has issued a press-release today, saying that PopTop is working on RR3 again. There aren't too many details, but they are hinting that there will be some kind of multiplayer support. Oooh... aaah...
The coming fall is the current target.

Scratch that, then. It appears to me that anything that PopTop and/or GOD put their hands on turn into crap.Originally posted by vovansim

Now, as long as we don't nag them and pressurise them and nag them with "When's the game coming out" so they end up releasing it prematurely like they did with MOO3; that is if we just let them get on with it and get out of their faces then when it comes out (when it's good and ready) it might actually be a good game.Avoid COLONY RUSH on Galactic Civlizations II (both DL & DA) with my Slow Start Mod.

Does anybody here read the "ComputerGames" magazine? The May issue is going to a cool one, apparently... A preview of Rise of Nations, and Syberia 2, but most importantly for this thread...
Railroad Tycoon 3 will be it's "cover game". The already have a little preview of the contents on the web-site ( http://www.cgonline.com/ ), but of course no details. Something that I find very curious about the cover is this statement:
Railroad Tycoon 3
Exclusive!
The legendary series
returns in full 3D
Oooooh... I wonder.... I don't recall hearing anything about that anywhere before. Anybody got any ideas / knowledge about that?Comment

Actually, now that I look at the press-release announcing the game from two days ago, it does say about the 3D:
From the official press-release, which is available here:The third game in this series is building steam for its launch this autumn. This time the graphical locomotion driving the game will be in stunning 3D, creating breathtaking environments and a true flavor of the Golden Era of Railroading right through to modern day railroading enterprises.
Hmm... Can't wait for a screenie or two to see how their 3D engine is going to work out.

3D? And then they spend all their time to make the game great to look at, but forgets all about the gameplay... it's the neverending story...
