Big Sandbox with not much depth.

By J2TheB | Review Date:
When Simcity 4 came out, It was brilliant! had lots of depth and fun features which made it so addictive, but wouldn't it have been even more fun if it was fully 3d?

Well when I heard of a Simcity societies coming out in full 3d, I was excited, but the seeing that maxis wasn't developing, raised and eyebrow and the fact that game was going to be exactly like city life with the whole society crap, spelled disaster!

And it pretty much is, lame and unpolished, and not to mention the drop in
frame-rate, and don't expect your high-end PC to fix this problem, it feels like going through family photos rather than watching a family video.

Perhaps there was 1 mistake EA made, not employing Maxis as the developer.

But on the good side, the game is something to look at, nice graphics and the Sims activity is plentiful, which make for some short-lived entertainment of watching them get around their daily biz.
