I'm not stopping you from downloading it and trying it yourself. I'm just telling you the probelms I've seen with the game:
1) Building repetition is horrible. There are massive areas in cities where you only have 1-3 different building styles and they're very close.
2)Mayor is inexplicably in charge of footing the bill to run businesses, grocery stores, etc.
3)Can't find any way to figure out how much power you're producing and how much you're using besides "not enough, or more than enough"
4)Service areas are too small for things like stores, and hospitals
5)While you can make income on certain buildings, inexplicably you can't on things like grocery stores.
6)Traffic handling is a joke compared to Simcity
7)no zoning. You just place individual building.
8)Culture aspect of game way too easy to ignore
9)seems to be a major bug with the budget where it doesn't actually charge you for any of the energy producing bulidings you have (the monthly cost)
That's just a start
pros:
1)its shiny
2)walking around your city in first person mode is kinda neat
3)3D element is well done, so you can place buildings/roads on an angle, though they didn't really explain that well how to do so. |
I completely agree with everything
Also as a sidenote: It's very weird how much "walking traffic" there is in the game. At the beginning of the game, when you've only got a few hundred people in the city, at any time of the day, you can see that many people just walking on the streets, and with the amount of cars you see, you'll at any time (at least in the beginning) have twice as many people outside, than what actually lives in the city (at any time... both day and night) 
The problem with repeating buildings is getting very annoying the larger the city gets. Of each type of building, there's max 2 different versions of that building... ok, there is one exception (of what I've seen, though I'm not that far into the game yet) of that, and that is the large residences for fringes, as whenever you build it, they start with a small version of the large building, but every 5 seconds they rebuild the building, to make it taller (each time a new fringe moves in... max 5), but I don't count the smaller versions of that building as different buildings, as you never see them for longer than a few seconds, when you "plant" the building (why did they even waste time creating those buildings in 3D, when they're never used?)

I downloaded the mrOizo image and i'm having some problems. In the textfile that came with it, it says:
To translate City Life in other language:
Open the file: DefaultGlobal.ini in the forlder: ...\City Life\DATA
then search in [DISPLAY_PARAM]
and change:
LANGUAGE = "fr" to french
"en" to english
etc...
But when i tried "en" it says "empty TEXT" on all the buttons in the game, even the hints aren't showing. "it" and "fr" work fine. but "en" doens't, somebody know if it is possible to run this game in english with this release ???
thx
Schiete
