While AMJ's more recent Shanghai city pack undoubtedly features superior modelling, it appears the Samscene rendition contains more buildings overall. The texturing is pretty good, as long as you don't get too close; however some of the flat roofs are a touch blurry.

At night is when this scenery truly shines — a number of cool animations, coupled with some vibrant colour, make the city well worth exploring after dark!

The only thing I'd really like to see added is more modelling out towards the airports (an area in which I believe the AMJ package does do better). I'd say a fair rating is somewhere between 4 and 5 stars but since I can't award halves, I'm going to have to go with 4.
