Sim city- RIP

Simcity.

1985 to 2007.

Simcity was one of the worlds best selling franchises. It was originally made in 1985, and published in 1989. it was a huge success, one of the few young stars who didn't start destroying themselves with drugs. 4 years later, he followed with Simcity 2000, possibly the best in the series. They were so popular, he was offered a position at Electronic Arts. But that turned out to be the wrong crowd. Soon, A 3rd instalment was made, which will be known as the last Sim City worth playing.

Soon EA got hungry for more money, and maxis, powerless to stop them, tried as hard as they could to make a good game. But they failed. It was given 8 out of ten from gamespot. Not a bad score. But the sheer complexity and size of the game sucked the fun out of it, causing more headaches than fun.

After a breif revival of Sim city 3000, on the DS, EA went to far. They decided that city building was old hat, and changed it to copy...Duh duh Duuuuun! City life!!!! they've removed the ability to make big cities, limiting the population to below 10,000, and are focusing on Social ascpects. It was officially put on life support at E3 2007, and gamers have already voted to pull the plug.

So rest in peace. You will live forever in our hearts, and our hard drive.

No thatspretty much it.

If you're gonna change a game to copy (sorry "borrow") from another game, shouldn't it be a GOOD game?

Aww, shucks. Another one of my favourite series dead. *brings flowers to the grave*
