I've been playing RRT3 for a few weeks now, and have to give it 2 thumbs up. Be prepared, it is quite different from RRT2 (which I loved for many years). The game play is different enough, that after struggling with the intricacies for a few days, I broke down (poor train joke) and went through the tutorial. Definitely a good idea, because RRT2 is EASY compared to this sequel.
The biggest change for me was that the profits on a load are WAY lower. No longer can you make an easy $1-2M by carting a few passengers really far away. Now, distance of the route makes little difference in the profit of the train. The player has to pay careful attention to what is needed where, the profit margins of freight to different destinations from each source, and sending passengers/mail 1 town away could give you more money than sending them 20 towns away.
That was a tough adjustment to make, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find that this game is just as fun as the one before it. I'm not going to delve into the enhanced graphics because I could really care less (they are pretty cool, though, I must admit).

It shouldn't be that difficult to load. Who knows if it's fun or not. I shouldn't have to fiddle around with drivers or any other files to get it to run. I'm extremely dissapointed even if I didn't spend a lot. It doesn't earn any stars with me. If anyone out there has any suggestions, I'm open to them.

It's fantastic.
Complex stock options. Buy short ect.
Issue shares, millions of them if you want to.
Buy out other companies. Innovative, and fun. Though I wish the A.I was about 10 times smarter. But still, the game is excellent.
Track layout, I love how it works.
The maps are huge. I love the graphics. So much better than Sid Meier's Railroads.
In RRT3 you can zoom in and out to incredible distances.
On the texas map, it can take a train 30 seconds to reach it's next stop. The map sizes are GREAT.
I like how the cargo assigns automatically.
The locomotives LOOK GREAT.
Love the economic model.
