What's not impressive?  Are you judging it by the quality of this persons screen shots?  Didn't it ever occur to some of you guys, that simply the difference in the REAL scenery that is being "photographed" might be the big factor as to why this version is so disappointing?  There isn't anything the MegaScenery designers can do about the "natural" scenery they are dealing with.  New York and Los Angeles are two completely different cities, and naturally, look a bit different from above.  New York is relatively flat and contains a lot of concrete and building sturcture.  Not too exciting!  One of the highlights of the So Cal scenery is the diverse landscape, ESPECIALLY the moutainouse regions.  I live in California, and therefore relate to the California scenery much more than New York where I have never been.  I am not saying that the New York scenery is exactly stunning...I'm just saying that might simply be caused by the New York landscape itself.
