A beta review-Yes another one

[Skyrunner27 23]

So I decided to right my review until after the Beta was done to make sure that I had all the gameplay experience to write it. I am under NDA so I can only tell you about features you know. Each time I played the Beta I focused on a one primary service.

City Size

I have been seeing much discussion about this on the forums.How in real life some villages are larger than 2x2km. I am here to tell you don't worry most of the time I played I was only able to fill in a quarter of the city. Only one time I reached a little less than Half the city. Though if you are a person who likes to plan out your entire city then it may feel empty.Then again if you are Organic player and you tell a story with your city then it is good for that.

City Utilities

After you place zones utilities are available Water and power are needed right from the start. You can wait on sewage but if you wait to long you will have a worse problem on your hands. I waited on one of my maps for sewage and it ended up going from the old part of the city to my new suburb that I created. Glassbox allows you to see if you are about to run out of power. Powerplants need worker to make power but the Pumps only need power. The modules were basic make more power thing.

City Services

After placing a town hall you can get services. I did not do much with fire and police due to the expense. The clinic was fun because after I placed it I heard sirens so I followed the ambulance. It went to the sick or injured's house and stayed there for a while came back and drove to the clinic. The school was a great cheap alternative to other services

Mass Transits

Who said that Mass transit was limited you get the same amount of options(Before you say but we lost Highways technically it is a road.). We were only allowed to use buses in the beta. The buses will go to every stop even empty ones. Glassbox to the rescue again no more guessing how far your sims will walk.

Online connection

Getting on to a server was a bit of a pain, but once you were on it was smooth sailing. During my 6th play the my online connection went down. Interesting enough my game stayed up for a long time. I actually quit the game before it found internet signal. '

In conclusion I am looking forwards to March 8th
