I think I want to try this game. If I do, I'll let you guys know if it is good or if it sucks.

Look at the last 20 seconds of this.

Have you gotten any major slowdown/lag when playing this? I think this game does all SimCity does. Its flaw though is that lag.

My city isn't very big yet. Haven't had much time to play. Does turning graphics down help or doesn't it matter?

After researching, I havent tried it yet as it seems pretty prevalent for everyone. Also have played in about a week. Ill turn em down and give it a go and let you know.

I have everything running at max with anti-aliasing on, but like I said my city is pretty small and I'm also running on a three-year-old iMac. Do you know if there are full cities that are downloadable?

I messed with some settings and it was a little bit better. Now I just need to manage my money a bit better. I suck. My cities suck.

[Garrett67]

I do too but you can add 500k from the menu if you want. I figure its okay while I'm learning. There is quite a bit to this game.

I think overall it is better but it's also more difficult to figure out ,if that makes any sense.

The plot of land you get is probably 5 times larger than SimCity, Maybe even more.


Check this out, looks like too much work for me but.......

There are tutorials elsewhere too. It's not an easy game. Sim city is very user friendly but that also makes it a little boring.
