I’m so glad I bought this game despite all the negative reviews.

Pros:

– Excellent graphics (for this genre)

– Great gameplay (challenging, interesting and reasonably realistic)

– Huge variety of vehicles (from horses to trucks to trains to ships to airplanes to blimps and everything in between)

– Strong financial and industrial model

– Realistic yet fun

– Signals for railroads

– Visible city growth

– Competent AI

Cons:

– Eats memory as your network expands (slows down your system when you exit the game)

– Little help info (although there’s a user manual on the website)

– Poor game music (if that matters)

I’ve previously played Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Railroad Tycoon 2 and Locomotion, and Transport Giant is far better than the rest. TTD and Locomotion have pathetic graphics which completely neutralizes any benefit of good gameplay, while RT2 is plain unrealistic in its lack of signals, deals with trains only and cities never grow beyond hutments!

This little-known gem is one of the best strategy games I’ve played, especially among the tycoon types. Granted, it’s not perfect and there’s a lot of negative publicity around it, but the least you can do is download the demo and try it for yourself.
Rating: 5 / 5

Ok, this game has a grate idea to make TTD type game with a new graphics. But this game has so many bugs, that you can’t play it. I.E. in European scenario it won’t build a railway corners, and in Australian scenario, it stopped building at all. Now, the best part there are two patches for the game, so I installed both – now it saying that I have a wrong disc so the game doesn’t even start.
