SimCity 5 coming March 5, 2013

Yeah subways would be cool. Doesn't seem like a difficult thing for them to implement.

the were in SimCity 2000

Question: can you have multiple cities on the go at one time?

like multiple saves

[Boots]

You can have more cities than you'd ever be able to manage. You only work in one active city at a time but switching between them is painless.

[ingress]

was asking because I bought today and my son also wants to play

Free Simcity DLC... Kinda.

Driving electric has never been easier for your Sims with this free charging station from Nissan! Add up to five charging stations per city and watch as your Sims begin driving around in the 100% electric Nissan LEAF®.
Your Sims aren't the only ones who can drive electric. Check out the NissanUSA.com savings calculator to find out how much you could save with the 100% electric Nissan LEAF®.

No idea if these actually add anything to the gameplay (less pollution?), but it's free, so why not.

So is it actually worth getting this or not?

[Boots]

Its fun. Should be much better once that patch drops.

Same here. I installed BF2, and that took up a lot of my time, then I reinstalled Skyrim and that has been taking up any of my free time lately.

[Boots]

They dropped the ball with the release so buggy. They probably lost a TON of players because of it.

[JoeLouie]

I played the hell out of it for weeks (when I was actually able to log in) after the release. I've just been distracted playing other things since then.
