Sim City Societies (PC)

Sim City Societies (PC) ... small town working now you can raise giant dystopian towers wherever you want and see the population reduced to an Orwellian nightmare – or opt for a more pastoral layout and watch everyone skipping around the haystacks. The import thing is it makes SimCity, and social engineering, fun again. Back when designer Will Wright started making games it was SimCity which was his first big success, helping to define the concept of god games and social simulators. Over the years though the series got ever more complicated and less appealing, so that when The Sims was released in 2000 it put the old city simulators completely in its shadow. Now though the whole SimCity concept has been rethought to the point where this isn’t really a sequel to SimCity 4 at all but a whole new game somewhere between the original and The Sims.
