Graphics.
This game requires a 64-MB graphics card, the detail is very high when fully zoomed in, you can see peoples faces, expressions etc. but when you zoom out to about half zoom the people turn into block figures, with just one colour. Yet when fully zoomed out the graphics return to a great standard. Sometimes the movement of the camera is juddery and slow to re-act, especially when fully zoomed out. i believe this tob e due to the amount it ahs to laod with all the buildings. Though this is quite a rare occurance if a cheat is sued it makes this happen quite often until the game is saved and exited.
Sound.
This game requires a directX version 9.0c compatible sound card.
There isn't much sound needed in this game other than the sound of bustling tarffic, buskers and violinists oputside restraunts and when someone is giving a challeng or theres a news report. When the sound is needed most (news reports/challenges) It is of an extremely good quality
Gameplay.
This game can get boring quite quickly, I played it for around a week non-stop and am Extremely bored. I own the entire of New York... Have all challenges complete. Yet theres still a sandbox mode to muck about in...
Overall Rating.
Overall I'd give this game a 7/10 It has great sound, Good graphics, OK gameplay. But is great if youre bored and have nothing much to do.
