Nope.. its still crap.. and the land size to build your city is TINY.. more like a village than a huge city, like in Sim City 4...
I too was looking forward to the game.. the trailers looked awesome, but I knew in the back of my mind that this is EA related, and they love to hide bombshells till its been released.
I bet you a million bucks the reviewers had a 'street date review release date'--meaning, anyone reviewing it had to wait a few days AFTER it was released --because they KNOW its full of bugs, and sucks.. and don't want the reviews to scare customers away...
Evil tactics..
I'm back to playing Sim City 4 Deluxe with all the addons... Just inserted a White Castle and the new World Trade Buildings and Memorial in my City! Amazing work..
The corrected size street signs are awesome too--as well as the freeway signs, and new roads, bridges and more.. The Mod Community is AMAZING, and keeps getting better!
