The city building is perfect, but the limited space ruins everything.
Despite everything you do, you come to the square limit in 4 hours, leaving you unable to solve any city issue that comes next. And the game indicators keep on telling you to add residence areas as the square limit is not there and you already have just skyscrapers.
If you want to go bigger, simply, you cannot. The game compels you to build a new city from scratch, but from the very beginning, including the quests and you anyway will end up again to a big city locked in a big square, even if you try to change your strategy completely.
Then you can send your trucks helping your other cities around in the scenario, but this is not clear how it works, neither fun, since the effects do not come real-time and still your city cannot grow or evolve even if you trade.
If you look for a large city builder, this is not it. The game builder itself is perfect, the graphic is awesome and the sounds, including the music, is a total win. But if you believe on playing the "network way" the game compels you to, with friends or other people online, this is just an addition that is now the main feature of a game that forgot to be THE city builder and will make you want go back playing another game.
Disappointing.
