There Goes the Neighborhood! : SimCity Societies

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: The game looks beautiful, but only when and if it runs. Game play also lacks real depth.
Review: I generally don't buy computer games, I get all my games for game systems like X-Box or Playstation. Nevertheless, I decided to spend some Christmas money on SimCity Societies.
Here is my experience.

A Disappointment

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: On the surface this is not a bad game. It lacks challenge, but the graphics are nice and gameplay is very user friendly. The software crashes ruin it all though.
Review: As an individual who bought the original SimCity years and years ago, and several of the later versions, as well, I have to say this version is a disappointment. The graphics are great, but in an attempt to make this version a little less...

Not Sim City for sure

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: For die-hard SimCity fans, it may disappoint. Not Recommended.
Review: Discovering EA released the latest version in the Sim City line, I decided to give this one a try.

What a disappointment!

The entire concept of SimCity has been forgotten!

You could build a city from the ground up,...

It's a Lovable Game

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's a good game, especially since it's only around $20 nowadays.
Review: This is NOT Simcity. This is, if a comparison is to be forced, a 'lite' version of simcity. If one expects it like that game, one will be disappointed.

Instead, this is a city builder to the tune of 'The Sims'. The goal of the game is not to...

Fun, but not the same as previous generations

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Great graphics and more customization make this a "recommend" for me.
Review: The new SimCity Societies has much better graphics than previous generations, and it's based on a different playing format as well. You can place buildings where you like without having to zone an area first. Power plants can be placed wherever you...

A Sad Edition For SimCity

Date of Review:  May 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't do it, this game was a waste of my money and time.
Review: Let me start off by saying I have been a fan of the Sim City saga since SimCity 2000 came out. This game does NOT live up to the standards I have come to expect from EA Games.

My copy of SimCity Societies was purchased about a month and a...

To much graphic, and not enough fun

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: All looks and no brains
Review: As a 20 something techie who has loved watching the game evolve for over a decade, I was so excited when I saw that this newer, more 3D game was going to be coming out. I told my family it was the only thing I wanted for Christmas last year, and...
