What I've noticed when unpacking is that a manual is missing. While you can read all the notes, but during the installation time I would have like to read or simply looked up again slightly, while the game is running. Sure, that's only a tiny criticism, but also that you have to mention here ...;)
The new neighborhood liked me right away. It is beautifully done; one has both mountains and a river, and the downtown is nice succeeded.
In the animals of course I was very excited, but was a bit disappointed. The dogs see mostly very bulky, in some breeds even I had to smile when I compared it with their idols. This looks to me everything after a little bit of design time, but well, we let it go through times. The cats are all become fine; But the big highlight is the horse. You can really notice the breed typical differences and recognize some races even without the "Title". Very well done!
In the game, the horses are the winners. While banished collect dog and cat to hunt or treasure, you can have really fun with the horses. That they alone can send for training through half the city, is a bit confusing, but also a good idea. So you can increase the capabilities namely the horse, although the Sims just do not have time.
Since I've been playing since yesterday, I have of course not yet explored everything. However, two wild horses I have previously only ran into; it must also look at the city you but, to encounter them. Deer or other animals (of which in the Spieletipps talk is) I still do not get to see.
Also a pity, I find that virtually all stallions, horses for sale and adoption animals are hybrids. If you want to breed a thoroughbred horse / dog / cat offspring, you have a bad hand. The needs you have got to think about when creating family ...
Now for the competitions; While it is held daily at 17.00 clock a competition in the equestrian center; but you have two horses, one comes not afterward with the various requirements. Much better it, set up two or even three times a day would be competitive.
Also I noticed the long charging time. My computer has otherwise brought the game with no problems up and running and the otherwise jerky not once, suddenly stops in between for several minutes - and the game crashes within 2 hours from three times. If you then just not saved anything in the heat of the moment, you can start all over again. This increases the fun factor does not really ... At some point you are then totally annoyed and turns. Was also not the whole point!
Bottom line: If you can play it again, come to mind are a few improvements, but the game itself is still great. Only the representations of animals (other than horses) and interfere with this stuttering and crashes ...
