Editorial Review: Product Description: Featuring an all-new, revolutionary feature set, SimCity Societies allows players to create their own kinds of cities, shape their cultures, societal behaviors and environments.

With more accessible and innovative choices than before, SimCity Societies is the most versatile city building game. ESRB Rated RP for Rating Pending Amazon.com: Featuring an all-new, revolutionary feature set, SimCity Societies allows you to create your own kinds of cities and shape their cultures and environments. Make your cities green or polluted, contemporary or futuristic, rural or urban. Create an artistic society or a police state, an industrial city or a spiritual community—or any society you want!
Combine and connect elements of your city like never before with the ultimate building block tool kit. This innovative, modular approach to city-building makes SimCity Societies accessible to players of all levels, while still providing tremendous new possibilities to veteran players of the SimCity™ series. Shape your city through its values and priorities. More than just a city-building simulator, SimCity Societies puts you in the new role of social engineer. Mix and match six "social energies"—productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, authority, and knowledge—to determine the core attributes that will be reflected in the infrastructure of your city as well as in its people. After you plant these seeds you'll witness the evolution of your city as everything from its physical appearance to the sounds heard on its streets adapt to reflect these values. Build unique homes, workplaces, leisure-time venues, and parks. Choose from more than 500 unique objects which can be combined and connected in almost limitless combinations. Take inspiration from a variety of architectural styles, ranging from the realistic to the fanciful, rural to urban, industrial to futuristic. And with only a fraction of the available buildings and associated object types unlocked at the game's beginning the possible combinations will only grow as you delve deeper into the game and advance your society. Share your creations with your friends online. The most customizable SimCity™ ever created, SimCity Societies not only allows you to modify almost everything in the game, from the buildings, decorations, citizens and rule sets, it also allows you share these with friends online.

 Rating:  - TERRIBLE!Ever since I downloaded this game, my system has been falling apart. The game was never much fun anyway, since it kept crashing. I truly regret purchasing this game. Rating:  - Very InterestingThis is a really fun game. Even though it's got a lot of bad reviews because of its simplicity and many problems, I think this game is very fun and interesting. It really has changed since SimCity 4, which is also a great game, but they are good changes. The 3D engine is awesome(even though it's a little slow), especially since you can see the sky, and I like the sandbox mode, where you can create the city of your dreams! The updates have added more features to the game, so they are a big part of ... Read More Rating: - disappointing step down from previous gamesWhat was perhaps the most disappointing thing in a long list of disappointments about this game was that it did not build off of previous SimCity versions. It threw out everything good and started from scratch, and this SimCity bears no resemblance to the other games I loved. Perhaps most egregiously, it imparts no real wisdom as to the cause-and-effect nature of the ecological and societal impacts of the buildings you place. All in all, not at all fun, doesn't really make any sense at all! And I ...

Read More Rating:  - A Hybrid with little depth of play but fun for new gamersI have played Sim City and The Sims and liked the idea of building a city based on community values. But this is more of a pretty construction set than a challenging game. First there is no depth to that promised value system. You can put in lots of temples and churches, Orwellian interrogation sites or get heavy into high rises, but you the game play does not differ significantly from one value system to the next. Buildings give or take away points and you are forced to do silly things like insert ... Read More |
