The concept of SimCity is not really new, I have been practicing urban development in 1999. After more than ten years, so I have now resorted to the current version. As expected, the graphics are very appealing and I personally find it very convenient that roads now automatically also transport electricity and water, so that one no longer needs to build separately these supply routes. Actually, the cheerful urban is now nothing in the way, but the multiplayer concept is then but more obstacle than help. After it did not succeed to break into an existing environment foot because I could not find any free cities, I had willy-nilly to build my own little environment. But to manage three cities themselves and then to manage even a large-scale project so degenerates into stress that I lose the desire. If you do not happen to three people familiar with that have the game well and with whom you can work together to build what, it will be difficult with the long-term motivation. I would not spend the money again definitely.
