This game looks awsome.

Here's some information about it:
A Simcity a - like management game with some subtle diffrences namely, that it's much more accessibile. This game features six cultures from the under priviliged to the blue collar workers.
Encourageing them to all live and work in harmony is the key to it's success.

-Features in depth money and culture management

- A selectable first person view lets you zoom in on your city and know what's going on.

- Main mode gives you goals to complete and different unique locations to unlock.

A pretty straightforward interface means it doesn't take long to get going in city life. The skill comes with the planning. Some cultures don't mix well and sticking two opposing neighbourhoods next to one another will result in fighting in the streets.
You need to intergrate all six cultures into a city though to get the full benifits of what each one can offer.

What I think:
It's a nice varient of sim city with some good new ideas. The 3D engine means you can zoom in and explore the city you've built in some detail, while the culture aspect makes a nice change from just laying electricity cables.

This game looks pretty cool, and the images are really impressive. I like how you can look at your city from different 3D angles. The classes of people sounds really interesting. This is a game I'd like to try for sure.

If you like Simcity you'll love this. Has anyone played that game where you get to build New york? it looks like a great game too.
