Shallow but fun.

User Rating: 7.5 | SimCity Societies PC
SimCity Societies is not a great game. Pretty much every review out there shows this. There is no depth to it, no substance. But still, it has its strengths. For one thing it is incredibly detailed and beautiful to look at. It has no real 'campagin,' but there is a fun in and of itself in simply building an authoritarian, smog covered dystopia. I choose to view Societies not as a game so much as a tool. A fun tool. But a tool. So it's worth your money if your a casual gamer looking to kill the odd hour. But otherwise, keep your money and spend it on something else.

Crysis, for example?
