I've heard mixed feedback.  One person said that it was okay for a 
while, but quickly lost its interest as things slow down a lot once 
cities get a certain size.  The other thing that I've heard is that 
Aspyr is really not supporting this one very well.  They say that you 
have the option of downloading all the add-ons that the PC version has, 
but in order to do that, you have to go to the EA site and to get into 
that, you have to have a serial number from EA, and well... Aspyr 
doesn't give you one.  :(  So you are then stuck to getting mods from 
other sites and none of the official ones.  Really bummer.

Andrew.
