Been playing with Simcity since the 1st episode.
This is absolutely the worst one. City size is absolutelu disappointing (and reason given by EA about that is absolutely ludicrous).

There are a few good characteristics but, overall absolutely not worth the money. SC4 is way better and a lot mor fun to play!

Not giving 1star only just because "hate it" would be too much, perhaps. But I would never suggest to buy it.
