I've got some concerns about having to be online* to play and the multiplayer thing, but apart from that it was really good, and the graphics are awesome. There was no terraforming in it today, so I hope it's there when they release it in March because building a city on flat ground is really boring.

* Playing online means no cheats! That would ruin it for me...

Me too. Gangster type or Vampire things don't do anything for me. Whisp Jan 2013 #12

You can play them any way you like. The story missions are all crime-centric, but you don't have to Egalitarian Thug Jan 2013 #13
