Even as the city grows, the hardware (in this case the LG VX9900) handles everything without slowing down or becoming choppy. Pre-built challenges are available in addition to the standard free play, adding additional depth unexpected in a mobile title.
Newcomers are treated rather poorly. The tutorial is limited in scope, explaining none of the intricacies or common mistakes that can lead to a bankrupt mayor. New features, such as the ability to gain levels, are never explained. During the review process, a city with a population still left the player at the first level. According to the help menu, earning levels increases the amount of money earned through taxes but it doesn’t explain how to advance.
Aside from that, classic Sim City fans finally have a game that is wonderfully balanced and challenging, without the unnecessary, overbearing features of recent series entries. This is an accessible title for everyone, even if those who are fresh to the game will need a little extra adjustment time.

I bought this game. Still at level 1. There is no help available. Great to play, easy to use, fun as always, certain maps are better than others, use maps with straightest rivers, clean up the edges of the water with terrain editer to gain better usage of land, I sometimes keep the game running when charging, make sure you adjust the game though when charging, it may ask you to save, jsut exit out of that mode back into your game, then let it run, you'll make more money.
