 Sim City Societies (PC)
 Sim City Societies (PC) ... more quickly and with a far greater level of control over the citizens that inhabit them. Whereas before it was a real effort just to get a 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.Newest Review: ... dogs that we are, then by all means, read on.

While this would ultimately kill films and most games, it actually strengthens SimCity Societies' chances, as the game design is already so near-perfect that the game was bound to be good if it just followed from where the past one left off. But does it add anything new on top of this already brilliant formula?
That's the million dollar question.
And my answer is that : Overall it is better than it's predecessors as it is more modern, and it makes a truly radical changes to the series. While the prev...more |

The nth installment (sorry, I lost count) of the great SimCity games since SimCity 2000 released in the early 1990's. Before I start however, if you didn't like the previous games then please stop reading now, (I'm getting a hang of this word...LOL) very little has changed to make you want to pick up SimCity. For those who loved the series to date, and eagerly await Maxis's table scraps to be thrown to us like the salivating dogs that we are, then by all means, read on. SimCity Societies is as we all expected it would be, very similar to the previous games. While this would ultimately kill films and most games, it actually strengthens SimCity Societies' ...

I've always been a fan of the Sim City games, ever since I understood how to put down water pipes and that you don't just build houses, you build zones and the population build the houses (amazing huh!), so imagine my suprise when I found out that EA had taken out the need for zones and the taxing system, the water pipes and the power cable and left us with a stripped down and "polished" version of everyones favourite city simulator. I say "polished" in speech marks because I don't mean the polished in the usual sense of works and runs better or smoother, I mean that its got less parts and they look prettier. At a heavy cost ...

For people who love the Sims and haven't played Sim city much this is the perfect introduction to that sort of game. The game is based around the premise that you can make whatever society you want and the people living in the city will either be happy or not about it. You can, if you want, make it whatever you want and depending on the path you decide to take you end up unlocking different venues and buildings. Getting money isn't very hard but you have to take care and make sure the people in your city have got jobs because these jobs pay you every Sunday. You can then build your city some more from this money. Building the city isn't difficult, it's ... Read the complete review

Great gameplay with impressive features. Quite out dated now comparerd with modern titles.
