A great yet technically flawed city builder. Without the glitches, this would be a real winner.
The ups include: creating a stable economy, keeping your citizens happy, attracting tourists, and crushing any rebellions that arise!
The downs include: frame rate slow down, game crashes, menu freezes, and reportedly (though I've yet to experience this one) unrecoverable saved games.
If you can manage to navigate through all the glitches, you will find enjoyment that outweighs your frustrations with the technical limitations.
As there appears to be no patch forthcoming from the developers, you are guaranteed to experience some of these technical foibles. Unfortunately for those who may lose interest because of the problems, they are also losing out on hours of tropical bliss.
I can't recommend that you purchase this game, but definitely rent it ASAP or simply get the PC version which does not suffer from all the hiccups.
