First glance:
The intro graphics have at least already been improved. The music is actually pretty catchy too. Actually, wow.. I'm really liking this song. If this were an RPG, I would be super excited to hear the rest of the score. Unfortunately, I'm thinking this is going to be the only song I hear. No other demo screens or anything, so I have no idea what to expect, except for more of the same as the last game, except different. Maybe new planes.. maybe a more streamlined interface.. who knows. Guess it's time to find out. Gonna try to not get sucked in as bad as the first game, but I also want to give it a solid comparison. We'll see!

Played for: 25 minutes
I gotta stop myself before I get sucked in for hours. I really don't generally like management games because I'm impatient and things take too long to happen, but there's something about this one that just catches me. Maybe it's because I'm playing it on easy and I'm dominating in the first year. I only just figured out how to change the continent you are focused on though, so I was really just beefing up North America. From here out, managing the costs of going international would probably get more sticky, and possibly frustrating. I have huge income from NA right now, but I think I need to cut into those flights to move them international. Look at me geeking out about flight business sim strats. WTF. Anyways...
It's about what I expected. More of the same, but a few new features. Even the action icons are just the same. The graphics are nicer though. And the awesome music pretty much did carry over, but since you end up on the same screen so long, it gets old. And the main actions screen sounds like Tears In Heaven. Not sure what's up with that.
Hit it or Quit it?
Oddly enough, I would probably actually hit it again. I'm almost interested enough to run a whole game and see how it plays out. On the other hand, it would take forever. Maybe actually saving a game and coming back to it a few times would be worth it, but would run the risk of losing your flow. I don't know. I probably won't come back to it, but the next time I'm itching for Simcity, I may just try this again instead!
