Has anyone tried this game out? I like Simcity type games and the graphics for this look great but I'm wondering about the gameplay and other factors if it holds up or not? I toyed with buying the bundle the first time they offered it but ended up forgetting about it and it expired before I got a chance to pick it up. Now it's doing an encore promo it appears and I'm toying with the idea of getting it again but still not 100% sure.
Anyone out there think it's worth the $5 to pick up? There is only a little over 5 days left to decide.
Decisions... decisions...
My suggestion - Try the Demo first. Actually, I'm a "city building / deep strategy lover", I install the demo and then uninstall back and forth for 5 times, having mixed feeling on it, struggling to love it, finally decided a NO GO even it can run without Steam after Installation.
First that I notice it is not a city building game, but a transportation management game. all the buildings are there and what we do are helping the people moving around to their desired destination i.e. working, shopping etc and staying profitable and efficient.
I really enjoy all that aspects as I'm a city building gamer by nature. But This game has some major flaws such as even laying down a railway track is also a pain in the butt where the tracks just could not connect nicely if you drag a long one, the infamous vehicles waiting for the last passenger bug and much inconvenient bulldozer / remove track button and layer switching button when placing metros underground. It also give you lots of waiting time to get the fund grow up for the next construction project. with 1.0.22 last patch Dev has consider that "stable" and focus on CIM 2.
Overall, if you are a patient guy, dont mind screening at each of the detail location in the city, keep adjusting budget dont mind some annoying bug or interface ok to have slower gameplay and waiting for fund to grow - Go ahead. The World of CIM need some one so great like you a patient - detailed oriented City Planner.
