but is the game any good? Atleast compared to simcity4

  Nah, graphics are as good as your graphics card but it isn't as fun to play as other previous versions, and the small city size is just one of the main issues with it. There is just something missing, I get bored with it real quick.

  No, it's terrible. The first 8-bit simcity is a better city simulation. Once you get past the 3d gloss, the game is fundamentally broken and unfun. There are so many basic problems with the simulation that it's not even worth listing the issues. It's, at best, an advanced proof of concept of a 3d simcity in presentation, that escaped the lab and mutated into the mess that ended up being released.

  Its an interesting experiment in agent based design for a simulation. Sadly they took that to extremes that simply make no sense, such as simulating electricity as agents traversing the power line network. Traffic routing was also pretty broken when I last played it, although I've heard later patches worked on that. I also quite liked the model of building up a region, with smaller towns exchanging resources to each other's benefit, but it could really have used some city size spots as well. Having said all that, if you think of this as SimRuralCounty, its not a bad game. Its just not SimCity.
