A good city builder that has been rushed out

I bought this game with high hopes and it was nearly everything i wanted. The best thing about the game is that it is easy to learn, in difference to some other city builders like simcity. You can jump right into it and play the tutorial, or even if you skip it you can have beautiful cities in no time. The MMO part is very fun and trade works fine, though it is still plagued by some server instability, and makes you feel you are a part of a greater community, and it all feels like it is worth the subscription.
The game has its flaws however, the greatest being Omnicorp, which is the only trade possible in single player and it sells everything overpriced, which makes creating large cities in single player nearly impossible. Other flaws are lack of mass transit at release, pollution removal is too difficult and the higher classes don't stop complaining about lack of services even though you have placed a lot of civil services
There are also a few bugs that crash the game and a memory leak
All in all its a good game that is defiantly worth paying subscription, but might enjoy a months wait for some large patches to roll in.
