SimCity previews

Just wanted to let everyone know that this game requires an internet connection at all times, even for solo play :)

While this game seems to be very enjoyable there are still three major problems.

#1: Business Model. This is EA we're dealing with, they will try to milk you for all your money in micro transactions.

#2: Always Online. People with poor internet connections or who want to play offline will be disappointed.

#3: City Size. The reason your city can have it's unique feel ( mentioned in the description ) is because it's too small to fit everything. You have to pick one area to specialize in and that's what your city will revolve around. You can however create more cities afterward and they may be on the same map as well and that would allow you to build everything, but it isn't all in the same city and there will be awkward blank areas in between the cities.

If have no problem with missing out on content due to micro transactions ( EA has cut content from games in the past for Day One DLC ) or throwing your money at them, have a stable internet connection and don't mind not being able to have a massive city then you'll love this game. It is not a bad game, just be warned that it may not be exactly what you expect.

I have done 3 hours beta testing so far, 1 hour blocks at a time and limited on some game features. With my restrictions, i am happy to say that everyone and anyone that has been waiting for this game to come out, it will all be worth it. There have been so many changes since the previous versions, but the changes are very good. User friendly for the new and also for the regular sim city nut. Maxis have always impressed me with their releases, but this one is by the best yet. Navigation, deliveries (power, water, coal so on and so on), services between cities, upgrading of buildings, graphs, going between cities and the pure realism is all apart of my rating.

I was accepted into the Closed Beta of the game, and only had 1 hour to play, but I really wanted to keep playing! It is so much fun and very addictive, it also has so much to offer. Though not everything was included in the beta, I felt it felt complete as it was.

I have played the previous titles, and as a reboot this really takes it up a notch. It gets a bit confusing at the start as there is so much interactability, but it is easy to get used to. I know that I am going to pre-order this from Mighty Ape, as it is an awesome game, the best one yet.

Amazing quality, Well done Maxis and EA!

I have been watching this one for a while, and everything that I have seen, from videos to writeup, no one has said a bad thing about the game… yet.

Hype is something we have to watch out for so, although it is looking good, don't get to excited/hyped for it, as that could destroy your ideas for it.

Personally, I am looking forwarded to it. It looks as if its keeping to the original concepts, and all that. The only thing that some people mite not like is that you will need a net concoction to be always on when playing, due to the way it is witch, as it is an EA game, means you will need there Origin client, but its not as bad as people make it out to be. :)

From what I saw on youtube Simcity looks very good it's a big improvement from Simcity 4.
