Metropolis

The game features the same base map each time and lacks intermediate objectives to suggest what to do next. The map scrolls very slowly and there is no minimap to orient yourself. Actions include the ability to buy and sell buildings, upgrade existing structures, adjust tax rates, purchase cheaper off-map housing, adjust pension rates, hire doctors and teachers and police, adjust the budget for roads and mass transit, enact a wide range of policies, buy and sell stocks in private companies, buy and sell power and water, and make choices during events. The problem lies in the game speed: at its fastest setting, one game month takes over 20 minutes of real time (and a year lasts four-and-a-half hours!).

If you are looking for the next Sim City you won't find it with this game. It's a very basic simulation game that really still needs a lot of refinement. I'm not quite sure why they were so quick to release it because clearly it's not ready. It still needs a lot of polishing and improvements to be a truly enjoyable game.
