After eading other reviews, I wasn't sure it would be good, but it was!!!
That's the keyword. You can build New York City from near scratch, and who doesen't want that?!? The strrets are built as close as possible to NYC, and there are many famous landmarks already there or available to unlock. You can "talk" with the people on the street and watch as the sidewalks, buildings, and parks become more and more crowded with YOUR people. At times, it does get tough, and you might have to use a cheat or two, but overall, it's "just right".
And now, the graphics
Wow. The graphics are amazing!!! If the graphics are set on high, not one thing is blurry, you can tell if someone is rich, old, young, or gothic from pretty high up in the sky. And at night, it's extreme. All of the lights come on and you can realx (at times) and watch the city that never sleeps.
And it all starts with a coffee shop, of course.
Overall, I love this game, and can't stop going back to it. I bought mine for $9, so it's completely woth it.
