    Have you tried playing with your Internet turned off? I travel quite a bit and it would really annoying if at te airport I discover I can't play it at all.

    It's pretty simple. Don't buy it. **** EA and DRM. The Sims already made like a billion dollars so I don't know the reason for them to do this ****.

    lol. I was by a GameStop parking lot, so I thought I'd check in on this thread. After reading it, I think I'll continue waiting. :grin:

    The new game engine is very CPU-intensive. A larger city would be unplayable for a lot of people.

    I made the mistake of Pre ordering the game @ Direct2play.com

    I've bought a number of games from them, I'll never preorder from them again. :( Probably won't get a key for at least another 2 days.

    No biggie, no time to play anything till Friday anyways.

    How does it compare to Simcity4 Red? Is the global system thing kicking in or is it just the graphics that are better than SC4?

    I've played for a total of about 2 hours. Had a city that started struggling at 25,000 people, so I just started over this morning. I need more free time.

    Its veerrryyyy very buggy, its ghey but you just have to have patience it may be a week before it all gets worked out, stupid E.A...

    As for the guy who asked about the game, I dropped a good 10-12 hours into it yesterday on about 5 or 6 cities... It veryyyyyyy fun, Intercity play looks like it will be fantastic although it seems a bit difficult to communicate to everyone. The city specialization is awesome and yes you can change it or have all the specialties that you want.

    My original Oil Empire I built turned into a global trading transport and oil city.. I also have a lovely avenue that is open next to the water I'm about to turn this thing into a trading, oil, gambling behemoth WITH a university. I don't have much industry however cause I didn't want that pollution, oh well.

    Is this the game that would send a mother fudging tornado through your city when it was thriving the most?!?!? :confused:

    I remember my boss at the video store had this on Windows '95. This was back in 1994. :eek:
