At first, I was sort of exited about it, the game looked beautiful, it had new features, better in-built instruments, better industry - in CS 1, I hated the system of industrial districts, but here I was ecstatic how I can draw fields, forestries, and stuff, that was very cool…

…and then I started noticing that compared to CS 1, there weren’t nearly as much content. A few official maps and that’s all, mods are nowhere near plentiful, and in the game itself, it fact, some CS 1 features are absent (like, I remember how in CS 1 we could choose vehicle skins for some services, and in CS 2 one can’t do that). Water behaviour is weird, so is people behaviour sometimes, and the final blow happened when I thought “hey, I’ve never tried to build a Japanese city, why not trying it?”. I swalloed the fact that there were no Japanese skins for cars, citizens, road markings, and stuff, but when I got to the point when I laid down my first railway line, and I was like “hold on, there are no actual Japanese trains to pick? With the Japanese pack?! Are you having a turkish?!”. That was when I ragequit and deleted the game, and re-installed CS 1. But now I can’t help but notice how CS 1 graphics is worse, and I didn’t realise how much comfortable I’ve got with CS 2 features, so now CS 1 seems inconvenient to play without these, so CS 2 basically ruined my experience with both CS games. I’ve always been sceptical about people trashing CS 2 and thought it was an exxageration, but now I finally get their point. Should’ve never bought this game!
