It could be defined as a game somewhere in between SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4000. If you are old enough to have played those, the citybuilding and the city layouts are very similar to SC3000, but it has a nation feature that resembles SC4000, with added politics and a somewhat more indepth economic simulation. It is a nice game, but very simple and the gridlike cities are somewhat tiresome after a while. The politics side is a bit of simplistic too, but makes enough of a difference to affect your cities economics. You'll figure it out soon enough, and then it becomes a bit repetitive, too. It shows potentioal, and I'll certainly check out it's sequel. But it is finicky at times, not very pretty and I can only recommend it if you really enjoy the genre, or if you can get it on sale.7 found this helpful
Visually it is stunning, but it suffers from a lack of transportation types, expenses management, and more advanced piping and energy infrastructure game mechanics... There are some nice policy options, but cultural things (such as religion and political affiliations), just like everything else, are shallow and overly simplified.2 found this helpful
