SimCity Societies reviews

Terrible, terrible attempt at merging The Sims and SimCity. This game is atrocious, and does not deserve the SimCity name. It bears nothing in common with any other SimCity game, its predecessor, SimCity 4 is superior in every single way. This game is retardedly easy and focuses not on building your city, but playing with some broken system of social energies.

I could go into more depth, but I would much rather let the metacritic score of 62 speak for itself. Avoid this game like the plague, unless you want to send EA the message that a watered down disgrace of a game is what fans want.

If you were thinking this game would be an improvement on earlier simcity games, think again. It may have the same name but it isn't a simcity game as we know it. You no longer lay down areas for residential, commercial or industrial. But instead actually place building's in, building by building. Don't waste the money, Get or stick with simcity 4 instead!

While some people might like the fact that simcity societies is a lot more casual than the regular simcity games, I feel it is a little too casual. There are much fewer aspects of your city that you actually control, primarily your job is to determine the feel of your city. You can choose to aim it in a variety of different directions such as an authoritarian style city, a fun city or a spiritual city to name a few. Despite it being an interesting new way of building your city I feel the game is a little to easy and there isn't enough in it to keep you playing for weeks on end, but its fun for a little while though.

Forget SCS… EA/Maxis have announced they will be releasing a new Simcity in 2013! Http://www.sim­city.com/en_US-intcmp=EACom_sim­cityannounce_la­test_0312

Nothing like Simcity. Feels a bit cheated.

An excellent game that you can get involved in and lose track of time

Not my favourite simcity game (that would be simcity 4) but it is still very good and I would recommend it for any people who like simulation games.

It was alright, but it gets boring pretty fast. It wasnt what I expected from sim city

This game is so fun and time consuming. Though I rate it four stars my boyfriend isn't so forgiving, only time I can play it is when he is not around!

While it looks like EA have tried to marry the Sims with Sim City it seems like the challenge has been slipped sideways to an extent. I say this with not having too much time to come to grips with Societies and may change my thinking once I have had more time to experience the update. Merv.

As said above you can see that this game is an attempt to merge the Sims and Sim City franchises, and i would agree that it is done poorly.

It is far too focused on the social system and not the physical city, as is the case with the previous editions, which is the reason i bought this game.

This game also was too easy, from where i got to before i got too bored…

Haven't played sims for years. This is a great continuation of the series

It is a really enjoyable game every all of the kids enjoyed playing it and i myself got a little addicted. This game is like most ‘Sim Cities’ games apart from you can actually choose (if you want to) what the attitude of the city is., and depending on what type of buildings you place,determines the future of the city (what it looks like and buildings that you can unlock). It is a great game for playing as a quick round or you can play for days and make it perfect. It id really up to you. :)

Sim Societies is an excellent game. Graphics are incredebile a really good bargin for 5.99 couldnt have picked a better game. I recken thats its better than sim city 4 . I find it rather addictive . A cool feature about this game is that you can play with unlimited money so you can bulid everything and anything and have no need to worry about running out of money.

I recommend it to anybody who enjoys playing the sims game or any type of simmulation games.

I give it top marks.
