I'm a sucker for these transport tycoon style games. If the reviews are good, I'd definitely consider picking it up from steam (20 €). And it's published by Paradox which is always a good sign.

The second was rated with a 'Reference to Alcohol'. Did you see a reference to alcohol? Was there a liquor store in there somewhere?

I thought I was the only one here who loves transport games.
This looks good, but I want to try it out first. It's not the first game of it's type and most other tries were poor failures compared to Transport Tycoon (now more than 15 years old).

There's a demo!

The few reviews so far have been positive (if not outrageously so), both from critics and users.

And at 20 €, I may definitely get it. The few niggles and bugs there are should be ironed out by Paradox and the community soon.

Oh and Traffic Giant was an ok sim...not Transport Tycoon, but very enjoyable.

@ Satis...I have no idea what the alcohol reference was referring to. Maybe there are hoboes in the game?

The demo feels good, but I noticed they are taking suggestions on the game's forum to make it even better...ranging from technical remarks to simple but important ones like being able to rename metro stations. I'll pick it up in a few weeks when some of it gets implemented.
