 Not the best from Chris Sawyer, 2007-09-06
Please don't let the title of my review fool you. It's just my opinion.
Although I like strategy/tycoon simulators overall, this one has it's flaws, including tech support from Atari.
The main flaws I found annoying are the terrain management - it's a bit limited, though playable.
Or, when connecting 2 town(or whatever else), it's impossible to start a rail connection(or whatever connection you want) ABOVE the ground/town. It's ok to end the station above the town(you have the possibility to raise/lower a track, but not start). The Atari/Locomotion support team were kinda sucky about this and replied in an completly unprofessional manner.
Works on Vista Ultimate & XP, kind of processor consuming(like 50%; I have a P4HT) but that's ok, maybe it's Vista's fault.
Takes some tinkering, but it's worth it, 2007-08-30
I bought this game as I was looking for a fun railroad game and, after trying out demos of Rail Tycoon, etc, I purchased Locomotion. If you've played any of the RCT games then you'll feel instantly at home, but whereas RCT was pretty simple right out of the box, Locomotion takes much more trial and error to get the basics down.
That being said a couple of hours of fiddling around will bring you up to speed quickly and that's when the fun begins. This is a game that will suck you in and keep you on the computer for 3 hours when your intention was to play for a half hour or so.
When you factor in the dirt cheap price it's a slam dunk as this game will pay you back many times over!
 I like locomotion, 2007-06-03
This game is fun and good,but i hate it that you have to fix the trains,buses,truck,and others.when the years go by all the working vehicles get old and break down then you have to put new vehicles,it is very disapointing while playing the game.

 why have you failed us, chris?, 2007-05-22
Unfortunately, this game isn't at all original, and is actually a backwards step in some regards, compared to Transport Tycoon. I can't believe so little changed in 10 years.

Locomotion is a great blast from the past., 2007-03-15
Locomotion is a 'spiritual sequel' to Transport Tycoon, although this DOES NOT MEAN it is exactly the same, simply with a graphics update. Loco holds its own as its own game. I've seen a number of reviews giving 5/5 and a number giving 1/5 - I strongly advise you try the demo prior to purchasing (Google it), as most players either love or hate Locomotion.
