im sorry to ruin it guys, but it isn't very fun. i bored me fromt the 3rd day playing it. SC4 was extremely fun, this is just "okay." like the lots don't grow, they just stay one structure, and it's just uninteresting.
This game sucks if your a hardcore SC fan, and I'm not talking about the crappy SC societies games. I hate these companies who dumb down all the games. This game would be great if it had some simulation and actually see a city grow and not just crop shit down.
I've just bought it. There's a solo player mode (Play Solo) but you need to login first on CItis server with a valid (US$ 39,00) key, no subscription needed. But for playing online (Planet Mode) you must have a subscription too. The game is too many times better than Sim CIty 4, it's a huge evolution form it, something like from windows 98 to windows 7: high resolution, curve roads, quick growing, etc, etc.
@Spyplane2008 Is there any way to play it normal, no connection, without to login when the game starts? I don't think so. He's an evolution from City Life (Monte Cristo Inc.) and i could not find yet a way (crack, maybe) to play it withou login. My free 1-week subscription is over.
sorry bud not sure. I was suppose to be able to play tonight, except Monte Cristo stupid downloading techniques. Did you buy the CD or buy online and download the game?
@Spyplane2008@Spyplane2008 If you are having trouble with download there are many other place to make it, i think you yet know, But if you need a link type: zinhowebdownload . net/ ? s = cities + xl (without spaces)
On a side note, you do need a decent PC to play the game without any lag and decent settings. im running with 2gb ram, AMDX2 64 bits, 256mb gfx and lag on lowest video settings. The game can pump out awesome details but its also very demanding.
lol its not impossible to build skyscrapers in simcity 4.You have to know how to play the game for the skyscrappers to come.I think this game will be harder than simcity 4,You will learn.
You dont have to pay to play this game if you dont want to...you only pay if you want to share and visit other players cities and get new buildings and stuff like that.
I haven't seen any trains yet in this game. I hope they didn't forget to add any.
Has anyone seen anything like elevated rail, subways, rail systems etc in this game? I'm not a train-nut or anything, but a fun part of sim-city was connecting up the different transport networks, plus the trains looked kinda neat buzzing around the place.
tá parecendo uma versão mais atual de city life...tomara que não seja, apesar de ser um jogo legal, pra quem se acostumou com sim city 4, city life fica muito fácil e sem estratégia
following countries: UK, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy on October 9; and Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria.
Would be cool if they had like a trade economy going on online so you could reap profit from other cities and maybe throw them into poverty ect. Maybe even make it bad enough that another player city is forced to wage war and start raiding you city.
yeah so much fun like real life simulation too bad maybe in the future 2020 with better computers and more ideas just compare 2002 games to 2009 games and see how much it changed in 7 years
why don't they have construction in it which brings it one step behind simcity 4 and i would know and construction makes it more reallistic. so why take construction out of the game man why?
(I got this from the cities xl website)Realistic representation of the population. Citizens have a profile consisting of age, education and wealth. (These profiles will affect what types of services and entertainment the player MUST make available to the city's inhabitants.)
Sim City 4 not.... Sim City societies will be beaten... Why not Sim City 4? Many people know bout it, more graphics less simulation, more simulation less graphics.
IMO, u guys don't have a clue about CG, the level of detail of this game is extremely powerful, don't u see the lightning?? It's almost real, not to mention the buildings amazing level of detail. It's superb.
I agree with some about the buildings that pop out from nowhere, and the radioactive trees, lol, but anyways, the overall visual and graphics r excellent.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These graphics are dismal. Simcity 4 looked 100 times better in 2D. Did you see how building grow in this game? What the hell happened to construction sequences. Buildings just pop out of the ground like somebody squeezed them out of a ketchup bottle. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Not to mention every single tree is like fluorescent green. The building designs look like a fucking 2 year old drew it
since when EA was right about anything?!...
