SimCity - or should I say 'PuzzleTown'?

Sims protest for better pathfinding and more intelligence

This week, the flop of a game, SimCity, was delivered to my door after I ordered it on Friday 8th March - days before the dumb AI controversy came to light.

In some ways, I regret my decision to buy SimCity: I thought it was going to be a simulation, I feel cheated, lied to by not only EA (where most of the blame seems to lay) but by good-guy-developers, Maxis. Because of my late order, I managed to avoid the massive server problems throughout SimCity's launch, though my friends and I still needed to relog several times before being able to join the same region. However, the emergence of this new problem of terrible AI really bugs me when I play the game alone.
