This game is not worth it's price. €20 at max!!
The good:
The games upper screen is the city view screen. Very good idea. The lower screen is the work screen. No more accidental demolition of anything cos you can not see due to buildings and structures. Good user interface. Music limited, known and fantastic (especially the use of stereo). Undo button!! No firechief that doesn't know how to put out fires.
The bad:
The game is flawed. Sometimes the water system just stops working on the graphics. This causes no city evolution on the graphical side, though the citizens are content, happy and number of inhabitants rising. Very slow even in small cities. Screen update on upper screen mysteriously fast (graphics) and slow (scrolling text). Too much advising that you can not disable. No sim life visual except trains and cars. No underground network.
Conclusion:
At Gamestop it is possible to return a game within 24 hours of bough - this is one of those games that is gonna be returned. Tried to play 3 different cities. All cities failed after hours of play due to the water problem. Bad feeling to see the creation one has spend hours on turned into a deserted city... - on the graphic side anyway.
