I'd like to get the negatives out of the way first, because they're preventing this from being a really excellent product. The simple fact is, there's far too much missing from the scenery — no Co-Op Live Arena, no Kellogg factory, no Heineken brewery, no Chill Factore indoor ski centre, and no Trafford Centre (one of the biggest and most distinctive shopping malls in Europe). In fact, there's been nothing added to the Trafford area at all (same goes for Salford Quays). There's been zero effort made to replace the city's default sunken bridges with higher-quality custom models (something Samscene's own 'Modern Cities' series offers, at just £4 per city!). To make matters worse, Samscene's Old Trafford stadium model looks far worse than the Orbx model it replaces (for those who have Orbx's GB Central which, by the way, is fully compatible with this scenery). Several key buildings have quite poor texturing (the Mercure Hotel is a particularly bad offender), which I wouldn't expect for a £11 scenery covering a concentrated, non-photogrammetry area. Now, onto the positives — Manchester city centre proper looks really good! Samscene have filled it out quite nicely and it is considerably more detailed than the Orbx pack alone. The night-lighting is, typiocally for Samscene, also very good. If they can expand upon what they've done to the main city centre — by sprucing up areas such as Trafford and Salford Quays (which are still considered 'central Manchester') — this will be a very good package. But as it is, you're paying a premium for a handful of extra buildings, with zero improvement (over the Orbx product) to the more outlying areas. £11 for a city many of us will already have as part of GB Central doesn't represent good value, I'm afraid. Samscene do seem quite receptive to fair criticism, however, and they do update their products fairly regularly, based on user feedback — so hopefully we'll soon see the additions/improvements needed to make this a really great city pack. Of course if you don't have Orbx GB Central, and are looking for a decent Manchester, this package becomes that bit more worthwhile...
