I haven't read any of polygon's reviews up until now, so not sure what to make of it.

Gamesbeat said:Its a joy to see SimCity return in a better form than it has ever been. It is wonderfully complex, but very easy to play. The title is a massive undertaking and it has come together beautifully overall. Hopefully, EA will be able to improve the connected parts of the game, and the experience will become more fun with more players.
Wow, are you serious Ars....I can't recall ever reading any reviews from Ars but if that's how all their articles are "written" then how the hell have they garnered any professional cred??
french reviewer gave it a 6.
100 is high, there's still bugs I can visually SEE on reviews screeenshot so right away it shouldn't be that high.
The no SP should remove at least 5-10 pts.
it does have single player tho
I think he is probably referring to offline play rather than single player
if this is another medal of honor situation though I for real will boycott EA with the rest of these bandwagon bitches on Hard
hella bitter i paid 30$ for that shit.
So what is the consensus of where to get SC5 right now?
uh oh....EA had better get this straightened out before launch tomorrow, these issues couple with no pre-load is just asking for trouble...
They specifically state it's not a review but more of a preview of thoughts between the reviewers while playing the game. I'm guessing they posted it to show the general feel of the game as a preview.
I must have missed that but still, why even put that up. If your critically reviewing a game with a peer, your going to be looking for its downfalls, especially if your both SimCity alumni. I just think its really bad form, very unprofessional in my book.
Amazon says available 12am PST for me. Probably wake up early and download it before work, hopefully servers aren't bogged down.
I'd take tommorrow off work, but have something that needs to get done unfortunately.
Got mine for $40 @ Amazon though. Would cancel if I were paying $60. Found the one beta they gave me a key for quite enjoyable and left me wanting more, so hopefully that holds true.

They listed several things they liked as well. Did you even read the whole thing?
its been confirmed that origin is letting you download and play at 12 EST 9pm PST so unless amazon is late to the party with releasing keys.. everyone else that has it digital will be playing it then.
hope amazon corrects they shiznips.
You get your key yet?
no :O
's all good, at least you got Tomb Raider, eh? You VPN'ing that shit son?
naw ill just wait till 9 lol.
I started to read it but after its opening negative headline and the ensuing negative comments for maybe 20 lines I just started skimming, all I saw at that point was negative comments through to the end of the comments.They listed several things they liked as well. Did you even read the whole thing?
No no, I definitely want an honest opinion but I also want an unbiased, level headed opinion. I dislike reviews from hardcore players of any game, especially if the game being reviewed is a deviation from the formula the hardcore gamer fell in love with. These guys really appear to be the hardcore types and this SimCity is a pretty huge deviation from previous SimCity games and the way the comments come across its, "lets dissect this thing and point out all the shit that we don't like about it because its not like the original one"So you want to be lied to by journalists instead of getting honest opinions from them? You'd prefer it be two people that have never touched a SimCity game to comment/review the game?
Good review, definitely agree with the worries and concerns that they point out, just have to see how much of an impact its going to have and how quickly EA is able to patch the issues that crop up.http://www.shacknews.com/article/78062/simcity-review-return-of-a-classic
With Ars's complaints, and then the same negitive comments here, I'm not going to bother with this one.
I have to wonder why is there no pre load? Does EA not understand how much mor eSTRESS that will put on their servers? If it was pre loaded then many people would be done with that huge download and not clogging the servers.
I foresee a bunch of server errors/restarts and downtime for the launch tomorrow.
Also i was able to contact Amazon and get in on the CAGROCKS deal, the CS was extremely nice and after explaining the issue with the code not working I was able to get a $15 credit on my account for simcity and got it pre ordered for 45.
