Seems fair. Origin exclusive is worth -10 points.

So my first solo city has a sewage problem. Literally the entire west side of my town is covered in filth. I don't know what to do.

Garbage is also becoming a problem.

Well, aside from the fact that there are people who have no desire to play online, but can't log in because of full servers or are getting constantly disconnected...

Not saying Metacritic is perfect, but it does highlight some problems, ones that glowing press reviews don't seem to want to touch.

Are there challenges/missions in the game? Or is it all just sandbox mode?

Lots of achievements (challenges) and mini-missions that unlock tiers of buildings or reward you with various things (such as money).

Probably covered already, but I had some questions:
1) Is there still the option of playing "SimCity classic"? That is, you are isolated from the rest of the world?
2) Is there any way to prevent real time?
3) Can you slow down the play speed? I almost always play games at 1/2 to 1/4 their real time speed to plan things out.

You have to play the tutorial first, it shouldn't just all be grayed out it should be telling you to do things though.

1) Play 'Sandbox Mode'. It's basically isolated.

2) I believe Sandbox Mode doesn't run realtime, but I haven't played it to confirm

3) Yes, click the little >>> arrows in the lower left of the command bar. They change the game speed.

I feel bad for the devs... I wish Maxis could get away from EA.

Dan Moskowitz ‏@moskow23
Extremely frustrated that Origin problems are preventing some of you from playing #SimCity. The folks at Maxis are just as annoyed as you.

Ocean Quigley ‏@oceanquigley
Hi everybody, sorry that Origin is preventing you from playing #SimCity. It's extremely vexing.

Andrew Willmott ‏@andrewwillmott
Disappointed that for the 2nd game in a row friends & acquaintances are having trouble downloading or playing something they spent money on.

Andrew Willmott ‏@andrewwillmott
Gutted, even. Can only apologise, though it's been out of my hands.

Guillaume Pierre ‏@MaxisGuillaume
Sorry about the delay some of you had getting into @simcity… Reports of goats taking over the @OriginInsider servers are true.

However, an awesome fan did send the devs this ridiculously awesome cake:




This is what Origin is saying:

Origin ‏@OriginInsider
Due to the high demand for SimCity, Origin has experienced delays impacting a small percentage of users. We’re working non-stop to resolve.

Origin ‏@OriginInsider
We’re making changes to prevent further issues, and are confident that Origin will be stable for international launches later this week.
