I agree! Although, it also makes me realize why EA didn't reissue an SC5. I mean SC4 was released 6 years ago and has approximately 25 gigs of free addons that folks have developed that there is no way to compete against. Cities XL is a great game and I've enjoyed playing but it just can't compare to the individualism that SC4 provides. If EA would just reissue SC4 with some improved game graphics and include a set of say 5 CDs with a multitude of game addons/mods with a way to easily organize the data then I would be in heaven...until then SC4 with my massive unorganized plugins folder and CitiesXL will just have to do. Oh well, I'll I can say is that Monte has done a better job than EA with this next version of city building games.

Item 1. Zoning free form tool often won't connect the primary road and then you need to destroy half of the district/auto parks to reattach the road network.

I don't think they have any clue what is going on...I was one of the first thousand to pre-order from TMP/Monte. Yesterday, I received the really nice packaged CD, but still no activation key by e-mail, as stated on my receipt and this morning i received an e-mail from their support (10 hours later) telling me that my activation code is being sent by U.S. Mail because I'm in NA/USA? So now I'm totally confused as to where I'm supposed to get this activation code and want my money back before I even got to play...I'm mean Sim Societies provided me with at least 20 minutes of crappy game play before crashing. ------Here's the great customer support--------------- First of all thanks for your interest in Cities XL. We remind you that if you ordered the game from North America (USA and Canada) you will receive your CD key via mail. If you need to have further assistance you should contact our american distributor at montecristogames@tmpwdirect.com In case you have ordered the game from the rest of the world then we invite you to send us your order number. Best regards, the Cities XL team Just a Follow-up Note...I called 800.647.3656, which is USA TMP Marketing support and was advised that it will take 2-3 business days to obtain a new key, so I guess no CitiesXL this weekend and I'll think twice before purchasing pre-order from Monte again..

The game is about a 1 out of 10. It only played to it's best on my brand new gaming system. I couldn't imagine playing with the minimum requirements. Personally, I could only play for a little while each time because I got so bored. Between boring graphics to a poor functionality It just isn't a fun game! I'd rather play RCT3 or SC4. Trust me - Don't waste your money - you'll be disappointed.
