What have they done to the franchise I once loved?
7/10
Gameplay: Frankly, this spinoff is insulting. EA has just insulted me aswell as thousands of simcity fans. What happened to the good old days of maxis, actually owning their own company and creating masterpieces like simcity 3000. The whole experience seems unfulfilling, and there really isn't any gameplay to worry about - aside from "societal values" which dont even work might I add.
3/10
Sound: This is a "city builder isn't it?" one may ask. Well, if it were a city builder - it may actually have had the chance to be good and actually have decent city sound effects and not just sims screaming and laughing constantly. There is absolutely zero ambiance that coordinates with the idea that you are building a city. They did add some songs from past simcity games that never get old, but add to the insult that they've been added to this game.
