So much potential fell so short, I used to love railroad tycoon and although this is similar in concept its a really terrible game. The graphic assets look promising, but the game play has disappointed me in several respects. The Ai is awful and things eventually get clogged. Once you get to any level of complexity with sets of intersections and switches, the trains just do the stupidest things and even though your tracks make sense the trains get backed up behind each other instead of taking reasonable routes. The interface is awkward to use. You can't modify gameplay while in game. The rotations of the terrain via the mouse are counter-intuitive. The game constantly lurches every minute or so while it seems to do a mass calculation which constantly gives you a feeling of discontinuity. I'd love to take the assets from the game and build something that's actually fun to play. Train Fever just annoys me.
