SimCity Societies

SIMCITY SOCIETIES

As many people have already said SimCity Societies isn't at all like any of the other SimCity games. In some ways good in some ways not so good.
First off you can't make your cities as big as you used to be able to, since the game has taken away the ability to zone land you have to place buildings individually. Also the buildings have more direct results and they require more than just money to run. You need to use values to run the buildings. You may need to place several different buildings just to put 1 other building in.
Other than than those things the game is great!!
The level of detail to the game is astounding!! You can zoom in so close you can make out facial expressions on your sims. You can even see their drunken staggering after going to the bar and what-not. There are so many different types of sims such as the police, the S.W.A.T. team, hippies, mimes, fire fighters, street preachers, and pickpockets.
The game hasn't gotten rid of every thing familiar to the game, you can still cause natural disasters (YAY!!!) also there is still a ticker-tape at the bottom of the screen telling you all of the important information (and sometimes weird things).
The game is much easier to access than SC4 or other installments.

To sum it up it's hard to build large cities but other than that it's really great game!
