Great game - worth the wait
I am enjoying the specialization option, from Oil fields to Casino's, its all a new experience to a game we already know and love. The game cycles day/night, and micro-management goes on a new level.
Some say, "am I a mayor, or a business man?". Guess what - a Mayor does have to be both. It costs money to do things, and a Mayor with business smarts will take the town further!
I can see this game appealing to any age group (13+), in any country. It is wonderfully universal that way. We are living in an interconnected world now, distance is meaningless, so games are now played cooperatively too.
