Lots of youtube vid's about this, seems nice.

Got my own beta key and I will try get a hold of a gamecopy.

I like the look of it, but I tend not to like all of those economic-only strategy games. Who knows? Maybe I'll *ahem* it sometime in the future.

Looks interesting, hopefully it does not suffer the same problems simcity did.

I remember simcity 4 where cars made as much polution as heavy industry transportation times made no sense. Also no afordable green energy.

Looking at this though, it seems only a surface level simuation from the movies. Remember than simcity also covered electricity and power, while this looks just city related.

Well, aside from my graphics problem due to my old video card, it looks a lot easier than SimCity. Many buildings in the beginning are locked, so you wont have to worry about them yet.

You can shape your city with different sizes and heights, allowing you to build your city different from anybody else.

Bla bla bla.

I like the looks of the no grid system and elevated roads. 2 features which simcity never had effeciently.

The elevator roads was easily to bypass in SimCity 4, you just needed to download a special mod that allowed you to build elevated or lowered roads.
