Fun, but nothing like before.

User Rating: 6.5 | SimCity Societies PC

This game was fun on its own terms. It was quite a bit better after the patch was downloaded, which made it a little challenging at least. Before that is was pretty easy to go about building a city and also pretty boring.

It is completely different then the past SimCity games, but something I think people should try out, especially if they weren't big SimCity players before. It has a few interesting and new quirks of its own. Not great, but not the worst game out there.

I was kind of missing the larger array of disaster choices, what fun is SimCity without getting the chance to destroy all your hard work with a list of ridiculous options?

I really did enjoy the idea of creating societies (the HUGE difference in this game as compared to the rest of SimCity games) and having the chance to shape the direction everything would go. Neat concept.

Missing old game play stuff, but loving the new 'societies' concept.
