Is this game worth buying?

Can anyone tell me if this game is worth dropping $40 on? I care mostly about the graphics and the ability to hook me into the game for quite a while, not too frustrating, etc

I assume you don't have CXL 2009 and you don't know what it's about.

Well, if you care about the graphics, then I'd say you'll like the game. The game is easygoing on newbies, usually only old time SC4 fans insist that it's shallow (you know, those that would spend an hour adjusting city taxes, the fire department funding and 2 - 3 ordinances).

A word of advise - if you decide to buy it, do it from their website. It seems the Steam version is bugged currently and presents a number of performance issues.

After playing with 2011 for a weekend, I can tell you, if graphics is one of the main reasons, go for it.. But, realize the game works very differently from SC4 - in SC4 I find I can really create the city like I want to, if I want to create an american city, I can, if I'd want to create an asian city, I can also.. I find this lot more difficult with 2011, everything looks either french, or a mishmash of styles.. so I really hope there will be a lot of lots added in the near future..

So, the choice is yours )
