The multiplayer is coop
co·op·er·a·tive
Involving mutual assistance in working toward a common goal.
And it's got the maxis humour.
I feel sorry for Maxis.

The Beta test was great, the gameplay was phenomenal (1 hour felt like 10 minutes).
But this is one of the worst PC launches in gaming history.

I certainly agree about the worst launch. So bummed.

When the developers admit this you know it's bad :(
devildogelite:
The game itself is fun. The only problems I have so far are city size and the way traffic works. It makes no sense that emergency vehicles have to wait at lights. Also the way utilities and mass transportation behave is handicapped. Though they said it was meant to be that way, which is actually my only really problem with gameplay.
The release was complete stuff but in a few days it shouldn't be a problem anymore. As I said before people keep referring to Diablo 3, yeah a stuff release but you can play it no problem now. I mean it's still an awful game but I can connect to the server and play it no problem.

long live DRM
less pirates = more money for devs = better games, at a more reasonable price
