Anyone play this game yet? I found a demo on-line and downloaded it, but havn't played it yet

The reviews arn't all that great.... but its a train game.

I think it is quite a decent game but the problem is that it would an awesome game if it were released at the same time as Rollercoaster Tycoon (same guy made it) and the graphics are basicly the same, which is the big beef that the reviewers had with it, there are annoying parts of course, as with all games, but it is a good game none the less.

Pros.
-Fun
-offers more than just railroads (Airplanes, trucks, ships, trams)
-double heading!
-rail networks (signals!)
-many more
-Multiplayer
Cons-
-Limited loco choice
-stats not correct
-Maps unrealistic

Overall, it is a fun game and would suggest it to any simulation game buffs.

Yes, I have Locomotion. However, I prefer Transport Tycoon Deluxe due to the fact you can take over your competitors which Chris Sawyer took away in Locomotion.
