I thought I had saw I thread about this game, but now I can't find it.

I'm in process of downloading it, was wondering if anyone has played it yet???

I haven't played it yet, however, I am glad you're in the process of downloading it, because then you can tell me what it's like. That's of course if you don't mind doing a little write up for us :)

It's been on my list of things to buy for many a month, but I just haven't got around to executing the purchase!

I stole it from my twin brother. We share Steam accounts... he happened to have it so I jacked it. lol. I'll let you know how it is, but I'm no reviewer. I can give you short hand though.... lol

I have it, I play it, I love it!!!

In my opinion its a lot better than Sim City, way more options, buildings and freedom. My biggest city right now has a population of 220,000 and its on the bottom of a Volcano with a lake around it, creating good spots for holidays. I'm having major traffic problems though so I'm making a lot of the roads one way!

Little tip; build the roads before you make the city!

All in all, GREAT game!

So... I played it for about... 12 hours... and didn't even notice I was playing it that long. lol

It's awesome. =)

I love that I can customize cities to produce certain things and have them trade with each other.

I found the road thing out the hard way.... LOTS OF CONGESTION! Ended up waiting till I could put in bus depots and metros and that helped A LOT.

I like it a lot better than SimCity. It's WAY easier to navigate, you aren't constantly running out of money and/or resources. It's just... easier.

And it suits my god complex just fine, thank you.

I have a bus system but I still can't put in a metro system cuz I'd go into negative chasflow :(

I built 2 small avenues next to each other around the whole city, both 1 way roads. So 4 lanes going in each direction, kind of like a ring road, works pretty well but the highways are PACKED! :/
