I always had a hard time playing SimCity 4, Managing money and having no sense of purpose. You sat around for an hour, after you managed to get the income to out weigh expenses. Then the money creeps back ad you do it again. Having the money creep back. This isnt a review for SC4 so ill go back to Societies This game does that same thing again. Just a little less annoyingly. Plus I wish they could stretch for some missions or something. The achievements are okay but not that great. Some are a little hard but others can be done in seconds and buildings are always unlocking it seems. I recommend this game for people that really don't like challenging games but other then that. Its really cut and dry. I have a new Laptop, Video card- HD2600 512 V Ram, 2.0 Ghz AMD Turion 64 x2 (Dual Core Processor), and 2 Gigs or RAM. The game barley ran on high. I though i met well passed the minimum requirements. The Patch didn't do much ether to fix anything. Hope my words helped you guys a little
