Customers are saying

Customers highly value the improved graphics and addictive gameplay of SimCity: Limited Edition. Many appreciate the challenging city-building experience and affordable price point. However, the game is met with significant criticism due to persistent server issues, an always-online requirement, a restrictively small map size, and the presence of bugs.

    No where does it say you can't use it with a 2 N 1, not even in Laptop mode, it's a software glitch, no solution offered, I spent 3 days researching and trying to get the game to work, $40 down the drain...

    If you like City Builders, this is the best in show. The amount of detail and possible outcomes are unlimited. The in-game challenges really keep the game fun and interesting. Once you gain confidence, you can move into on-line community gamming and the real fun begins.

    Game had great potential, but EA managed to screw it up by significantly underestimating demand for the game server wise, and when they finally fixed that, there continued to by memory errors leading to having to roll back your city quite a few times because the servers wouldn't save properly

    Standard Sim City game. Player has to balance residential, commerce and industrial zones to become the mayor of a Megalopolis. Unfortunately, the space granted to build such city is way too small to generate the proper neighborhoods. The game requires to save and play from their online servers. The servers crash often, forcing players to rollback to the last save point. The save occurs automatically and can't control when it happens.

    Not bad overall, just wasn't really worth $50 to me. Very time consuming and could cost a lot of money to get really involved into it.
