Probably yes,because I loved sim city 4 and wanted to see the progression of the franchise. Overall sim city 5 is a good game. I dislike the tiny map sizes, the online requirement and other things, but the core of the game is still fun. Possibly I would have waited a while till the price dropped though. $80 is so high for this game.

sorry no $200 is far too much for a video game, i would not pay that.

Mine is kind of self explanatory, lol

granted but it's a toddler's bike I wish to have a magic genie

banned for posted before me

lol dove soap + a video game. That's like buying a towel and getting a free printer. wtf

Not bored yet, but not exactly enthusiastic to play it either. This game was supposed to out do SimCity4 in every way, instead it seems like a downgrade.

HUGE map size increases. 10, 20x the current size would be a good start!

I just bought the game today and have been playing for a few hours too. My biggest complaint is definitely the map size. it's ridiculously small. It does not feel like you're creating a city so much as a tiny, unusually scenic town. The second biggest is, not being able to place zones in areas without roads. I liked how you could place zones anywhere in simcity 4 and then delete roads or add them at your leisure. Graphically SC5 is quite pretty, but I thought SC4 was pretty too and that's a decade old. I think the camera is a little wonky but it is nice being able to see your town at every angle. The online DRM didn't bother me much, as I'm always connected to the internet anyway. I haven't noticed any server issues so far. Game runs smoothly, no bugs noticed yet. I don't like how you can't select a region from a "world map" sort of thing like in simcity 4, though, and how you can't edit the terrain. Why they removed these fun features, I do not know. The game overall seems like a prettier, shallower and less challenging game than simcity 4. Less challenging, because it was so easy to give my "town" the basics and keep sims happy, without compromising on things environmental safety or education. Balancing different needs seemed a lot easier in this game than in previous sim cities. On another note, when I bought it I knew I'd be getting a free game, which is why I got it, I chose Battlefield 3. Hope it makes up for the slight disappointment I feel about sim city. Right now it does not seem like it was worth $80.
