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.
