I wish. My laptop isn't a dog by any means, but I don't think it could handle this game, at least not at full specs. I prefer games like this on PC, but the more and more my laptop falls behind, I wish they'd make a console (PS3) version.
You? How is it? I used to be a Sim City addict, especially Sim Ant on SNES. I still play that on my emulator.

I have been debating purchasing it. I played the closed beta and enjoyed it. Just don't really like EA and find it hard to support their DRM model in this one, so i'm on the fence still.
I can't believe I have not heard of this yet I used to play most of the sim games I used to play the hell out of simcopter.
Sim City is propaganda to get people to accept governmental central economic planning!!! 
JK... the old ones were fun games. I spent many hours playing those back in 1994-1997 or thereabouts.
I joke, but I have to say, with my current convictions, I would feel a little dirty playing gov, imposing taxes on people, seizing private property, planning the economy, etc... I probably wouldn't get as big of a kick out of it as I did when I was an immature little kid who thought all that stuff was necessary. It would be a pretty boring game if I played it voluntarist style, lol! I bet the programming wouldn't allow a Houston... a whole city that grew without zoning or anything.

This, by far is my most serious complaint with the game, so much so that I haven't purchased it yet. As a technophile, I has a severe disagreement with requiring an Internet connection for a single player game. I already have to deal with it via the Assassin's Creed series, a "feature" I wasn't aware of when I picked them up en masse on Steam.
That said, the previews I saw looked really badass, and I've been a long term fan. I'm intending to stalk the game for awhile and see if they either drop the DRM, or the prices drops to the point I can swallow the hassle of it all.
