I also had a ton of cash after only a few minutes and there really is too little of a challenge in this early version of the game. It looks great and it is fun for short breaks, but a little more depth would be welcome. Just a few ideas: More different kinds of buildings (I notices there aren't normal houses or a lot of different landmarks) of different grid sizes would be nice and a few disasters maybe to add to the experience. And penalties for taxes being to high and things like that. Also some landscaping tools fo add things like water/trees would be nice. The Exit button should have an extra menu like "do you rally want to exit the game?" or something, I pressed the button a few times by mistake and while it saves your city it is a bit anoying. It's not that I didn't ejoy the game, I just hope it gets a lot better with future versions :-) I'll have to Agree with Sam.

After literally 10 minutes of playing I had over $100,000,000...there's no challenge. Nothing to bring you down. After racking up all the cash, I even put taxes up to 100% to see how it went...still had 10,000 people joining my city per turn. it's incredibly easy, and so far, only two maps to build on. And also, if you ever run low on money, it's as easy as hitting 'Next Turn' until you do...no penalty for it. I'd say buy it now for the low price, as I imagine it could be quite good in the future. Can't wait for version 2, or better yet, the official Sim City :) Yeah, I bought this, and believe me, it's dull so far.

Call me an optimist but these types of games take time to develop your strategy and become engaging. A video might not do it justice. Reviews, and little else, will tell. The video looks boring, yes.
