re: New Sim City- Anyone Play?

Is the game worth getting and are the problems corrected now?

There still seems to be debate about this. From what I've read, the game wants you to have a city that specializes toward a certain objective, encouraging you to team up with friends whose own cities have complementary specializations. So, to get the most out of the game, you need to have friends playing it too. Or, at least that's the criticism I've heard levied against it from a gameplay perspective, ignoring the technical problems the game had (has?).

If someone here doesn't chime in, I would do a little more research. If you are still undecided, look at the games in this link if you want to try scratching your city-building itch but aren't confident in SimCity 5.

I've never played it, but I keep hearing Cities XL brought up in conversation as a good competitor to Maxis's offering.
