| I'm just wondering how actual customers are dealing with EA's total game debacle. Is the actually game fun enough to buy now, or should I wait later until things are sorted out or a crack is released? |

| I don't know how a crack would work for 'always-online' game. |

Here are some reviews that will help you decide (seriously, just get an older version of SimCity that's less buggy and has no always-online DRM)

Always online DRM? Don't buy it.

Well, looks like the general consensus is that SimCity isn't really worth buying. I already have every title in the SimCity franchise (my heavily modded SimCity 4 being my favorite) and I was looking to see if I would like the new installment. I think I'll just end up pirating it.
As for the people who say you can't crack an online game, the crack for the new SimCity would obviously be an offline only crack. Modders have already proved that the game can run without being connected to the EA servers, so it's only a matter of time before someone releases a crack. |

| Guys, the server issues aren't the only problems. Turns out Maxis failed at implementing unique 'agents', there are massive pathfinding flaws in the game, and 'agents' apparently do not hold jobs but fill the needs of buildings. The pathfinding problems are causing roadways to totally lock up, and traffic takes unreasonable routes to reach destinations. Also, the city sizes are also said to be too small. |

| A hacker took out coding and made it possible for off-line play. It was funny because EA said,"Off-line would be impossible to do." *Hacker takes out two lines of coding and makes it off-line* >.> |
