I have played SO from the beginning, and have hundreds if not thousands of hours into SO1-4. I recently purchased SO5, and am just into my 3rd year with the default US schedule. This one of the absolute best games I have ever played!!! Nice job!!!

Well said GDH, I posted something similar myself - I haven't played any other game for the past year now - amazingly addictive, and so in-depth. What a game!

I have only recently been able to dedicate any time to the game due to work/family commitments, and, I have to say that I have gone from thinking it wasn't a huge step forward to fully appreciating the improvements in SO5. Is far and away the most addictive game I have ever played, and I have played thousands over the years (probably hundreds ) The series seems to have taken on a whole new lease of life, and, as I have mentioned in another thread, when the trainer game has been tweeked and made more playable, that will open up all new horizons. I for one am loving it

its very addictive mate
