I loved the original Railroad Tychoon and played it for ages. There was a couple of followups that I didn't find too interesting, but when Sid Meier announces Railroads! I was excited. The game looks nice and the patent feature is kind of nifty. The game does seem kinda of half-assed though. The maps are way too small and feels like they get cluttered way too fast and sometimes the game will start hanging and crash. All i all, I'd say this is a decent game, but it doesn't come close to the original Railroad Tychoo.
