Simply can't belive it...

I was always a big fan of SimCity games... I remember when SC 3000 came out, it was fascinating, I could play it for days. Then SC4, but only with the Rush Hour expansion. And then this. I don't know what to say.

It was fishy from the beginning. I mean, did you notice the size of the game? Compared to today's huge games, often 2 dvds large, it is surprizingly small. The main menu looked way to childish, but I still wanted to believe that it can be good.

No. This game is not. It's an awful stepback from the past SC titles. It lost everything what Ioved in them. There is no real transportation network, only 2 types of roads, no water system, no real goals to achieve. Instead you get a bunch of "culture" types which are bound to the structures you build.

I mean this game is NOT for the old SC fans. I think EA and Tilted Mill, and mainly EA, just wanted a big name to bring in some cash. That's it.

I'm installing SC4 right now. It is a recommended therapy.

    The reason I play the other SimCity games is because I enjoy the micro-managing, city building, with it's humourous take on realism. Not only is it about balancing your budget, but it's about planning for pipes and power... Read Full Review
