metropolismania is a completely decent game.
once you get a complaint, it takes you an eternity to find someone who knows someone who wants to build a building of that type. most of the time they "think" they know someone who "might" know someone. there is a 10% chance that they will actually know someone and introduce you, a 50% chance that they won't, and a 40% chance that they also "think" they know someone who "might" know someone. one time this kept on happening for 20 minutes and then that person introduced me to someone who i already talked to and it became a loop.
the graphics are terrible. they look like a playstation game. the cars look rediculous and they are the same size as the people and move only slightly faster. plus you can walk right through them. there is only a few different types of people so you can't really recognise someone.
i don't know how this game got a T rating.
when you finish talking to someone they have a random reason that they have to go somewhere and they tell you. this is random for male and female people. so you will hear old women say that they have to get home to there wife. hmm...maybe thats why this got a T rating.
the controls are not so good. there is no way to undo where you put a building unless you notice the problem right after you place it.if you notice it 10 minutes later, you are screwed. jumping looks stupid. if you're standing still it just looks like you moved up really fast with no animation. if you're moving and you jump, there is a jumping animation. either way it looks terrible because you are jumping 20 feet in the air. and to make it worse you can double-jump.
the story is stupid. everyone is communicating with technology and not going out to meet people so the "government" tells some random guy in a gay yellow suit to build a city.
the diolog is hilariously badly translated. "do you want to know what i know? i'm not telling you"
talkin is annoying and repetitive. you can only talk to someone twice every couple of minutes. conversations can end when you gossip about one and only one thing and they introduce someone or when you press circle. i don't understand how once someone becomes your friend that ends a conversation. also when you talk to someone who is new in town they say "keep up the good work" and thats it. a whole conversation wasted with one sentence. the conversations are also very uniteresting. you can fast forward the text but you cant skip it.
overall, i see that the only real reason to get this game is to see just how bad the translations are, or if you are very patient. it's not bad by any means. it's just boring.
