The traffic noise, city ambiance and soundtrack are way more rich than that obnoxious looping song in SC5. It seems like every building in SC4 was carefully considered in design whereas the art in SC5 looks rushed, cheap and cartoonish.

THIS! this is my BIGGEST complaint about all the new city building games, THERE IS NO REALISM! The buildings look like cartoon crap! I never really got why everyone seems to freak out over the always-online play but nobody else seems to be complaining about the detail of the actual cities themselves. It's what I've been screaming about all along, nobody seems to give a shit about the standard that was set by Simcity 4. Every little detail in that game had thought put into it by the developers.
Simcity 4 is the perfect city building game, I've never in my life been so drawn, so utterly sucked into a game in my entire life, so many countless hours of entertainment that left me wanting more. No matter what, I would always come up with new ideas, new ways to create cities and infrastructure. There's none of that in the new city building games.
Honestly can somebody just make Simcity 4 three dimensional and we'll never have to deal with all these other half-assed imitation games.
