I've got it and it's a good game, although it's not quite my cup of tea.
I prefer games like Anno and early Settlers, and I imagined this would be something like that, but it concentrates less on building economic chains than on political moves and diplomacy. I was very impressed by the detail though, ever one of the little critters running around with individual history, general backround, and personal traits. Lots of detail.
For some reason, the layout and menus took me on a nostalgic trip back to A-Train times, probably the colour schemes, I don't know.
This is based on personal preference, I can imagine this to be more attractive to players with tastes different to mine.
