IGN review is out:

Doesn't sound promising

Doesn't it come out on Friday?

Doesn't look like much the classic Simcity style really. Will have to dig out the original sometime - it works on XP

Looks poo but for gameplay you can't beat it.

Is the new City Life 2008 any better?

nin9abadga · 15 Nov 2007 at 10:08

so is there a demo anywhere for this?

TheKnat · 15 Nov 2007 at 11:19

Can't remember where I read it, but apparently the demo isn't going to appear until mid-December.

The full game will be out before that lol

Apparently this is getting bad reviews in most places. Sounds like another let down

Looks interesting but i wouldnt call it simcity. Simcity 1 is and always will be the best game for me on the snes.

Well, I've played this game a fair bit now and I really like it. However, I'm hitting the runtime bug this game has. Pretty much 4 in 5 receive a runtime error when cities reach a population of anywhere between 10k and 20k. This makes reaching the main objectives impossible. The bug hasn't officially been acknowledged yet so a patch is probably way off. If you're thinking of buying the game then wait for a stability patch as you'll just be disappointed. Otherwise, good game.

I don't think so. I like it, probably as much as Caesar IV. I just wish it wouldn't crash after an hour. EA now have someone on the board dealing with it so hopefully it'll be patched and people can then build enormous cities, which is the point of the game.
