Destroyed the SimCity Series.

User Rating: 3.5 | SimCity Societies PC
By thevestboy | Review Date:
Reviews leading up to its release focused on how cool the cities looked in screen shots. Well, the game ended up exactly that. That is all it is good for, so if you like spending $30 to make desktop backgrounds then this is the game for you. I am stuck playing SimCity 4 for probably the rest of my life because it looks like nobody wants to pick up where "4" left off. I just about tossed the game in the trash the first day cuz there is no refund after opening the game. Too bad for me. After what Tilted Mill did to the name, the company should never get involved in any game types that Maxis were gods at.

If there is a company out there that can keep the play style of SimCity series before this mess, PLEASE, no I'm BEGGING you guys to bring the SimCity name back from the dead and make it shine once again. As for EA, you guys chose a poor partnership, sorry.

Summary: SimCity: Societies = a poorly thought out game that has lost the heart of Maxis.

    The reason I play the other SimCity games is because I enjoy the micro-managing, city building, with it's humourous take on realism. Not only is it about balancing your budget, but it's about planning for pipes and power... Read Full Review
