Hi Just thought i would comment about scs. Yes the performance issues are bad for a big city and i miss the way zones develop but i really like the game for some reason. it looks nice, plays well (fun) and sucks me in for hours of play which simcity4 never did, maybe im not enough of a hardcore simcity fan to enjoy sc4 but the amount of buildings available to use and the different ways you can set the city up (fun city etc) is great. I like it for the people that dont, i think your missing out on something. Anyway a little pic of my third city about 3hours into build. Thanks http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7937/equilibria1hm9.jpg
