Gameplay: Somewhat like Simcity 4, to me its a little bit harder to get an economy going....
Starforce: Don't see the big deal with it, must be because it rarely causes problems or something. I haven't EVER had any Starforce problems with CL or any other game with starforce. Maybe some people are unlucky or something I don't know, but maybe try exchanging copies for another one? Starforce doesn't bother my PC or slow it down or anything. My specs: Win XP home edition, pentium IV 3.0 GHz, 3 GB ram, geforce 6600 GT 10/10
Gameplay: Somewhat like Simcity 4, to me its a little bit harder to get an economy going. But like all strategy games once you figure out what to build and how to build it/where to build it, it becomes much easier. I like the different cultures in my city and I like how I can actually get skyscrapers much easier than SC4. I love how I can zoom into my city and actually feel like I am part of it instead of just building whatever and wherever and not caring what my people are doing. I also really like how I can purchase new land to keep expanding my city. What lowers the score is not enough variety in people or buildings or cars. It would also have been nice to have more random events or disasters happen. But to me, the gameplay is much more fun than SC4. I don't have much else to add here. 8.0/10
Graphics: The water graphics could have been worked on a little more, I would have liked to see fish or something. I would also have liked to see people on the beach or animals. Although the city graphics are great and I like the birds that occasionally fly by. Although I find it strange that when I see a plane shadow flying over my city when I zoom out to see it, it suddenly dissapears. I don't really have much to add but despite the negatives I like them. Like I mentioned before, it would also been nice to get a more variety of buildings/people and cars 7.0/10
Sound/Music: Not much to add, but I have no complaints...I like the music. 9/10
Overall, I really enjoy city life. It could use improvements but its a lot of fun. I have no problems with Starforce but thats not to say others do have problems with it. I like city life much better than simcity myself.
