Great for intermediate gamers and lovers of the never ending torrent of Monopoly games. Not so much for others.
Well, it tries to pass itself off as a tycoon game, when it's really just a 3D Monopoly board with spaces in the middle. If you like SimCity 3000 or 4, City Life, or Rollercoaster Tycoon's design aspects, while then you're in for disappointment. The building is not customizable, there are just a few eras that open up new types of buildings. Everything is very automated. All you really do is buy land up and set rent. The AI is not extremely aggressive, it is rather passive and frugal with money.
The game just isn't satisfying to a person into all the little details. It's great for a quick bit of fun, though. If you want to just build a city really fast and not spend a lot of arduous hours getting things right, this game is for you. It's a rather shallow game in my opinion.
