    Fan of the game?

    It was an under-appreciated classic.

      Did everyone see that shot of their Facebook page with the fake comment? Ouch. This whole thing seems to be a total balls up. I wouldn't even consider buying this.

        It was truly a gem but also a good example of a game with a big that would never be corrected (unless you bought the PSX version)

          Ahh yes, the trophy glitch. Well, the secret bonus level could be unlocked with a button code at least, so not toooooo bad.

          Besides, the PS1 port was trash. I owned both, and I know I sometimes exaggerate on this forum, but I'd go as far as to say that Evo's Space Adventures has to be the worst cross platform port of the PS1/SAT/N64/PC era. It also introduced some glitches, like lack of SFX for the mouse's turbo boost, which made it more difficult to use, and it removed the ability to access different zones in non-chronological order.

          Man, I miss the N64 days.

            These glitches were few and far between though.

              The servers were all ok last night played for hours, it's pretty tough at times, get the balance wrong and it all goes to ****.

              I haven't figured out how I can increase building density so that skyscrapers will build. I've had a few, bit I don't know what prompts it to happen

                Touch wood not had any issues getting into the game so far, and enjoying it tbh ... Trying to ignore all the other crap that's going on with EA, remember the game is MAXIS, EA are the ones screwing it up.

                Loved the

                Zombie Invasion

                although I suspect that may have been scripted to happen at the beginning .. Not too sure, was funny seeing half the population getting wiped out by it though. Watching people having pitch battles through the streets with distant gunfire going off all over the place was really well done.

                Still haven't quite got the hang of it yet, and if you make certain decisions early on there can be major problem later on, but then thats Simcity always has been. Ignoring all the EA issues the game rocks.

                        Its saved to the cloud ... so if its gone ... its gone .. Welcome to the 21st Century ... You could try EA support but I wouldn't bother considering they never sorted my BF3 problem out after 6 months of asking.

                        Regarding the city sizes I agree they are a little small, however the area can have more than one city so I think its more designed to make smaller connected cities.

                          Just an update to this .. cities are based on the server you are on by the looks of it, so if you choose a different server then that will have different cities or non at all. Don't know why the servers don't just sync them up.

                            Yep this is in effect a rental only game, once the servers go it's bye, bye game. Same as any online game a few of the MMO are already in this unplayable history bracket never to be seen again.

                            I'd love to see some new 16 and 32 bit era games.

                              ?18.00 anyone? Cheeky way to get it for ?18 and it works if your in UK too.


                              Or maybe it's not worth ?18?

                                Still not, even that price, not supporting DRM.
