    Beautifully crafted, Sid Meier's Railroads! is a masterful experience - as you would expect from the master himself.

    Anyone who has a fond memory of the original classic from Microprose will instantly fall in love with the game. Sid Meier's decision to go back to basics after the over complicated Railroad Tycoon 3 has paid off.

    Fireaxis continues to produce substandard material out from a golden brand (Sid Meier) and from classical franchises (Civ, Pirates, Railroad Tycoon).

The first ones because there are no "Kool x-plosions", the last ones because the game is so simple and unambitious it leads to despair.… Expand
