    After being in the beta, and playing the demo, it's just not that fun. MC touted it as the city builder for SimCity fans, and it's clearly not.. No buses, no trains, no subways... no thank you. They asked the community for input, then clearly ignored it, see for yourself at Simtropolis and read almost any comments.

    Very disappointing Monte Cristo, now I know there will never be another Simcity.. and damn that's sad.

      The interface was a huge mess imo. Very unpolished and ugly to the point of being confusing. I'll pass.

        The interface was one of the primary reasons I stopped playing the demo. There were some promising elements (though it's definitely no substitute for SC4), but the interface was an absolute atrocity. In my book if the game isn't fun or easy to interact with it's not worth my time.

        It says there interface not final. I agree though - it was terrible.

      That's really discouraging. I loved Sim City 4 Deluxe. Great game.

        yah this is a great case of mis-management... the game could of been awesome. But as it stands it seems only 60% finished and missing a lot of elements to make it fun.

        I might look at it again in a few months, see if things are better. But I have a feeling this game won't last long.

      I had high hopes for this game, sadly it looks like I will be passing on it. Back to to SC4K!
