Gameplay: Well, first thing is GotRE (Glory of the Roman Empire) is better in most aspects. Why? For one people are on the street doing things in CivCity you barely see anyone. GotRE lacked Roman Buildings. Another problem is I found it way too easy, good or bad depending on who you are. Another thing I hate...I place a building down and it insta builds. You don't get to see it build or anything. I liked researching technologies, thats a good feature I like that I want to see in more city builders. The biggest letdown was the aweful land you build on. Imagine one plot of City Life (without buying other plots) and shrink it A LOT so much that you can barely build anything and thats how big of property you get. I wanted Roman sized towns/cities...not tiny villages. Although maybe this changes way later in the game I don't know. 3/10
Graphics: I've heard many people hate/dislike the graphics. I found them good myself, the thing I hated was just seeing a few people on my screen. Nothing spectacular so, GotRE is a little better in this aspect. The camara the way it is makes it very hard to see stuff/select buildings or place buildings. Which placing buildings is very important because of such a small land piece. 4.5/10
Sound: Usually I like the music/sound in the game. There is barely any sound or music. For some reason after the game is played after 30min or so every sound stops and you can't hear anything. 2/10
Overall: I'm not impressed at all. The tiny land propertys is a real letdown. Not many citizens in the "village". There are a few features I liked that I mentioned but not worth playing at all. 3/10
