Notes
This product features our simInstaller technology and is available after purchase via our APP only.
I have most of Samscene's city packs and they're generally very good. Unfortunately, Kobe/Kyoto is one of only two of three that fall a little short of expectations.
Coverage is good (particularly in Kobe, which features a number of buildings that are not shown in the promo images) but the textures are pretty low-res and the scenery lacks the detail we see in other Samscene products. It feels to me as though Samscene have fallen into the trap of rushing products; quantity over quality. That said, this is one of their least expensive add-ons and it does cover two cities, so perhaps the price is reflective of the reduced quality. It's certainly not a bad product and it does greatly enhances the approach into Kobe's airport — I'd just rather have paid an extra pound or two and had the quality we see in NYC Times or Osaka.
On a more positive note, the night-lighting is very nice, as it always is with this dev's work.
