This game is a lot better than Sim City... a LOT better. You can look at other reviews for why but here is why this game is awesome. Ive only played the game for 12 hours and I love it. Its not too much micro managing and not too sandbox. I fell in love when my city began to fall to ruin when my dumbass placed water towers in a heavily polluted industrial area. This quickly made everyone in the city ill and people began to die... rapidly. I went from making 20k+ a week to -10k a week. After I was in debt and lost over half of my city residents I realized what I had done. I fixed the problem and after destroying all of the abandoned houses and whatnot I was back on my feet. That moment when my cash flow was in the positives again was the most glorious moment in any city builder game I have experienced.
