Extremely excited while playing it. Had fun in the first hour. It is like the first hour of SimCity 4 when you choose a small city tile in the region and start your first town. You think everything is fine and it is just the beginning.
After 1 hour in SimCity 4 you discover you can build more , bigger , more complex , plan your major transport lines...etc. You can link your small town to another bigger tile to have that big city and it no longer a town it is just one block of your one City.
But here it seems you just get stuck in that 1 hour over and over again even with the limit removed. You jump to these predefined , spaced small tiles to build discontinuous "cities" with predefined transport systems , with predefined locations for special structures... more predefined stuff because you know the customer is dumb and can't decide where to place stuff.
This is basically SimTown or SimChoppedCity with half the game-play hard coded for you. No wonder all their marketing media is made of close up screenshots.
Sorry for the rant.
