Just isnt a Sim City.
It lacks everything that made SimCity addictive & fun.
How even EA could put the SimCity label on this game i have no idea, if they called it something else then fair enough, its a basic user-friendly game the young daughter could play when she wants a break from The Sims.
The main things i loved about SimCity was building 100s of differant roads all over the place making it look like madness, planning the water & electrical cable placements etc, sorting taxes, getting "deals" from neighbouring towns, selling water/electric, watching my banged out rust bucket factorys evolve into big powerful buildings,
And this game has none of the above.
its simply:
"Place Power Plant." (Dont worry about laying cables, theres no option, nore water stations or pipes.)
"Place a House Gain [+3 Creativity]"
"Place a workplace [-3 Creativity]"
"Build a differant house & gain [+3 Prosperity]"
"Place a workplace [-2 Prosperity]"....
And repeat the above until ur bored. (About 1:30hours for me, including tutorial.)
How this is labeled as Sim City i really dont know.
I'm just going to call it "Societies".
BRING BACK MAXIS.
