The first impressions article from Ars was a lot more useful to me:

That article gives me the impression that it's more of a Sims game with Sim City bolted on than a real Sim City game.

That's absolutely false -- there are some obvious flaws with the game, but the complexity of simulation and macro-level focus is not one of them. I beta-tested, aka I actually got to play the game since all the servers are down.
