5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive, and Effectively Adds Some Much-Needed Options, December 28, 2000

I've bought this game when it was first released, a long time ago, and I still play it today. The Graphics are very enticing and trains and structures can be seen from any view. When assigning a route a train can take on complicated tasks, which was very reassuring. In the original RT2 I was left wondering how to sell some things at one station and at the same time keep other cars to sell at a station on down the road. You can also build bridges that span huge oceans if you can afford it, which helps when trying to connect cities separated by a body of water. The campaign levels are astonishingly fun, as new buildings and trains are incorporated into this expansion, as well as new maps such as Antarctica.

Now that I have this expansion I could never go back to the original RT2 because of all the new features that are so incredibly user friendly and all the new options ensures that you can play a totally different game every time. This is a Must-Buy and is well, well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For All Train Lovers!!, June 18, 2001

Railroad Tycoon II is one of the best PC games ever produced. It combines a realistic railroad (transportation) game with many fun elements of the railroading business from history. The scenarios are well designed and give the player loads of options for strategy and tactics. The random nature of the industries and economy makes each time you play a challenge. I would recommend this game to everyone who loves trains and missed their calling as a rail baron!
