I know it's been a long wait, but to all reading this, please just hold out a little longer, for SimCity 5. a while back I decided I could not wait any longer, so I bought this game, and what a mistake it was. Don’t let the pretty graphics fool you, the game play is horrific. as opposed to SimCity’s intelligent zoning system, city life has this caste system, of rich and poor, but remember, this is a French game, so in the end its the same old story, the Bourgeoisie at the top V.S. Proletariat at the bottom, the point of this game is to shove French politics and history down our throats, by making knock offs of an American games. they took advantage of Will Wrights "Spore Ignore" to dazzle you with graphics, but SimCity 5 will have all that and more, not to mention the abysmal music, IT'S THE SAME SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!! which is fine, if you have Alzheimer’s. the one thing that angers me the most is the lack of transportation systems, you would o thought France, home of currently the worlds fastest train, would at least have ONE TRAIN!!! but no, 99.9% of vehicles I see in city life are imitations of Volkswagen bugs and busses. And after that, they pulled a fast one on me. I bought the game shortly after it came out, and immediately after I bought it, they came out with an improved world edition! I feel sorry for anyone who reserved this game.
