All in, he seems pretty impressed, particularly with the new game’s curvy road tool, the zoomed-in view of each city and the way the game’s focussed city specializations mirror the real world.

We were equally impressed with SimCity during our play through the beta testing period. Though we remain skeptical of the game’s multiplayer modes, we called said that “the marriage of nostalgia and exciting new concepts seems to be working out well”.
