Simply Entertaining

User Rating: 8.1 | Sid Meier's Railroads! PC
While those looking to brush up on the microeconomics of supply and demand may find Railroads! disappointing, no game is a proper vehicle for a thorough treatment of Adam Smith.

The simplified economics presented in Railroads! allows players to easily direct their strategies and to enjoy themselves.

Railroads! focuses on the actual transportation of supplies, not just the sources. By incorporating the physical constraints of route design and the 2 dimensionality of trains in general, Railroads! forces the player to be most efficient in building and routing trains. The demo alone can be played over and over in attempts to limit wait time while expanding profits. The graphics are most pleasing to the eye, and unlike most new 3D strategy games, Railroads! Looks and plays great on your mom's PC.

Bottom line, if you enjoy robust strategy games that are easy to get in to, and force insomnia, this is your game.
