Admittedly, from a graphics´ point of view it´s lacking quality in more than one
respect given the possibilities there must have been by using rendered 2D
sprites from 3D modelling. In my opinion, the end result is poor. E.g. the
vehicles´s graphics of TG are much more state of the art, OTOH *that* game seems
to be a really crappy product.

Of course, the engine of L. (RCT) allows more possibilities for game
implementation, although I don´t think it´s such a big leap regarding a
developing time of nearly 10 years. :)

Conclusion: it´s not a brand new state-of-the-art transport game, it´s more
likely the answer to "the patch" and as such seems to be succeeding. :o)

Michael
