To me, no.

Casual gamers may find something to like in it, but I think even they will get bored with it. The creature editor is about the only thing the game has going for it. Even that can't save it. What seemed like a terrific and very deep editor, turned into something very simplistic. The changes you make really do nothing to change the character's physical behavior; something that was touted to be amazing early on. For instance, the type of mouth will change how strong a bite is from a scale of 1 to 5 or how well your animal can sing on a scale of 1 to 5. The same goes for the feet (dance, run), hands (pose, strike), etc. Then there is the so called customization of your character's appearance; there really isn't any. You choose from about 30 different feet, hands, noses, hands, eyes, etc. These are all pre-made pieces that you can adjust the size of and orientation - that's it.

The game feels like an Alpha that is waiting to go into Beta.

Simcity was, and still is, more involved.
