Unlike its predecessor, the second part abandons the top-down perspective in favor of the classic isometric view. The game covers the story of the development of railroad tracks. Your attention is invited to trace the emergence of the industry and see the entire process of its development. Choose the map on which you will place your small firm.
Lead the company and lead it to prosperity. A big part of the gameplay in Railroad Tycoon 2 is that you have to make your way from one point to another. Build stations, buy new locomotives, etc. Use vehicles to transport valuable cargo or passengers. When you get money, spend money on upgrades and upgrades.
Invest and manage funds in the stock market and blag cash off saps who should know better, then build your rail network across continents and viciously run your competitors out of town and off the rails. This sounds easier than it actually is - the Al is a nasty piece of work and will do anything to halt your desire for global domination. Alternatively, up to 16 fellow trainspotters can compare notes or pick on you via the Net or a network.
GOD being the unassuming name of the Gathering of Developers. GOD's aim is for game developers to be recognised as the stars rather than the publishers. A fine point: you wouldn't pop into HMV and ask for the latest song on the Virgin label - it's the band you're after. Whatever, GOD have successfully captured the look and feel of the original game. So when this hits the sidings in November you can be sure that hardcore trainspotters, management sim-heads and nostalgia fans will rush out to buy it A few graphical tweaks and a little burst of speed should make this a stayer.
All aboard, as someone tragic might say. You run one of the leading railroad companies in the early United States.
You have competition, of course -- other companies that think they can connect the country better than you can. Fortunately, you have many tools at your disposal that will help you to carry your loads to new and interesting communities. Politics, CEOs, and an open stock market come together with the raw hardware to help you meet the needs of the scattered U.
Balance it all well enough and fast enough and victory will be yours. In the sequel to Railroad Tycoon , you have control of 34 cargo types and 51 train engines from around the world. Gameplay can span the ages from to beyond , allows for worldwide exploration and expansion, and includes a stock market for those Wall Street types who want to test their entrepreneurial prowess.
The interface for Railroad Tycoon II is very well constructed and intuitive to use. You have a myriad of reports to help you locate problem areas and the screens are linked together well to aid in tracking and fixing problems across your rail network. The game is designed for a x screen size and it uses the available screen space very well. I particularly admired the on-screen supply and demand tags that could be turned on or off for any and all commodities in the game.
This made it much easier to make valuable market connections. Six years to get a load of passengers from New York to Chicago is going to be pretty unrealistic, as are the hundreds of thousands of dollars the trip will reap. The game has great atmosphere rather than great realism.
The graphics are beautiful, and the map and history are very detailed. You can almost taste the smoke pouring from your latest steamer as it churns across the nation. Railroad Tycoon II uses full 3D graphics capabilities and the animation is beautifully rendered at all the available zoom levels.
