  • I think the game is decent, but not as a SimCities title. It's a good relaxer, a casual game.

  • You have ruined my holidays after releasing this shit!!!!

  • Why isn't there any taxes in this game? Confiscating 100% of your people's money is unrealistic.

  • EA. What were you thinking?

  • I Don't get wii people dislike the game graphics are better and the look of the game is not childish but thank you all dislikers simcity is dying

  • the game is good, very different to simcity 4 but the society are nice and is interesting see the changes of your city

  • nothing beats SC2000...

    SC3K is nicest yet.

    Personally i dont like sc4k as much as i liked sc3k and sc2k because it was there when the game actually started failing a bit as i liked the timeline function that exsisted in SC3K, dya know start at 1900, 1950, 2000 and move onwards...

    SC:S really messed up, played it for one day then uninstalled it because of it's mechanics.

  • @Xomazai SC4 (except for the time line) improved on every other category that SC3K delivered. My vote still have to go with the clearly better SC4. To each thier own though, if you want to keep backing an inferior game, go right ahead.

  • I'd rather spend 20 pounds on crack.

  • i think that simcity4 is the best for now i mean you can biuld a real big city and you can drive viecels for missions

  • I think Societies is pretty good because of the improvements.. but I hate how it lacks some fun features from Simcity 4. You can't build regions for instance.. you can only change the percentage of foilage (trees grass etc), water...... mountains.. it's random... I liked having cities built on the land that I've made in God mode in Simcity 4.. seeing them grow big and going down mountains for instance.... but Simcity Societies is fun to play for the improvements.

  • You need to grow up.

  • I personally like the game! Its something new and diffrent! I like the change from just zoning and the other things that you did in SC4. I wasn't to good at it so i like this game better because of that!

  • while i was good at, and liked the idea of zoning, i agree, that while this game is different, i like the personality when it comes to chosing buildings. i remember in sc3k the buildings would always repeat too much. Now, the player can make a city that looks moderately reallistic, Also the authoritarian is a fun idea.

  • how come i can't build trees in my city?

    every time i drag my mouse to build trees, it doesn't come up

  • Hi, To Build Trees It Is Determined On The Size Of The Tree. So If Your Building A Smaller Tree You Will Only Need A Square To Build It. When I Say Square I Mean 4 Red Blocks Put Together To Make A Square.

  • ok thanks i'll try it

    i read somewhere that you needed at least 1 gb of RAM to build trees

  • This game had sooo much potenial, I think they got half way through making it and just couldnt think of anything else to put into the game, so they just boxed it up and shipped it out.although the graphics are cool you really need a high end market pc too run it really well, i meet the system specs, and when the city starts too kick off it really does lag a little, The people who have brought the game and are unable to play casue of their pc crashing all the time are not missing out on much

  • i tried to install it and it said error now terminating game. WTF? sounds like a cool game though. It sounds cool because you can choose what your building instead of randomly picked buildings

  • I hope you are happy!it was the biggest dissapoinment in the history of PC gaming.YOU RUINED THE GAME FUCKHEADS.Hide motherfuckers!Quit your job and go raise cows!

  • i hated this game looks so stupid and no zoning WTF SIM CITY 4 is the city building king!

  • i instald societies and it keep on saying insfishent memory and i deleted over 5,000 mb worth of stuff so can you help or should i just take it back and try 4.

  • SOCIETIES SUX! Simcity 4 is best! societies is only copy of city life.....societies isnt simcity it is simshit

  • Hmm, I tried to install this game but, it says that it can't authorize the disc within the time-limit, then, I selected the 'Try again' button, but then, soon after I select try again it says it can't find a valid device, is this because I just but a crappy disc?

  • she keeps repeating "Homes, Workplaces and Venues" because that's all there is to the fucking game

  • why is it that when i play sim city societies, i cant zoom out far?

  • in options chek "free look"

  • i have a 2600hd pro i mean is not a high range card but i am able to play crysis on middle smoothly,and this shitty game lags even on middle,wtf?

  • i got this game today....take ages to install!!

  • This is nothing like SimCity 4, but that doesn't mean it's not a good game. You just have to be creative.

    The graphics are good but it lags even on a high spec computer.

  • How do you get other roads and bridges?

    I only have standart

  • dont be so harsh, this game is good and fun BUT! it aint sim city! btw, u had all these features in SC4 (inteligent ppl wit high tech jobs and high tech rewards, ppl wit low tech jobs and stuff, u just didnt say what kind of ppl r gonna live there (this game aint a social sim, last time i checked u dont tell rich ppl to live here and poor ppl to live there)

  • WTF!!! even her computer lags a little!

  • if I don't buy the game, Maxis makes no money, and if there's no money, there's no Sim City 5, damn, they got us!

  • Maxis doesn't own sim city anymore.

  • maybe lagging is part of the game

  • yeah if we were robots

  • ? are you saying you like.....this?

  • I like what? ..

    the game? yes

    lagging? no

  • I love(d) Sim City !!!

  • This Game looks terrible. I would rather play halo on a gamecube i would rather try to play through all the final fantasy games in one night without a memory card! Big letdown sim city 4=awesome sim city societies=:(

  • Sorry! Didn't mean to triple post...

  • I just hope, that Maxis will give us the real SimCity 5 at some point.

  • oh just wait, when there complaints come in, some people will be fired and maxis will be begged to return.

  • I just hope, that Maxis will give us the real SimCity 5 at some point.

  • I just hope, that Maxis will give us the real SimCity 5 at some point.

  • I just hope, that Maxis will give us the real SimCity 5 at some point.

  • Rachel!! WE WANT YOUR HEAD FOR THIS FAILURE OF A GAME!!!!

  • Judging by what she said the game sounds awesome, but then tons of people are posting comments about how it sucks. But... the comments about how it sucks are by people who can't spell or make use of grammar so...I'm torn.

    Oh well, if it sucks it's not like I paid for my copy.

  • I can spell and use grammar and I tell you: it sucks. =(

  • It looks like an idiotic game. It seems they have sucked the "unknown" out of the game. It used to be that you zone an area for residential and the sims decide what goes in. You can encourage, cajole, etc... but you don't know what exactly will happen. And what disasters I've seen look pitiful. And no public works?! If I wanted a warm fuzzy game about social relationships, I'd buy a "The Sims" game. Bring back Maxis. This isn't a Simcity sequel it belongs with "The Sims".

  • She looked like she was about to pee in her pants OR

    scream and admit that "the game sucked badly".

    Fortunately she didn't do both.

    But we did the work for her.

  • I don't understand... is it that terrible? Are the promotions deciving?b Does the game have missions like SimCity 4(Rush Over).

  • I bought this game and in two days I became bored of playing. I love all the simcity series besides this one. They need a serious expansion pack for this game to make up for lack of fun. Who wants a city just about one type of thing? How crappy is that? SimCity is about options, and societies has none.

  • I was gullible enough to buy this game. I am SOOO disappointed in it. The first 15 minutes were interesting, cause it was something new. Since then, I went back to my Rush Hour expansion pack. I just don't understand why Maxis couldn't have continued to make the successful series? So many people would have bought it, and have been HAPPY with it. Play it for hours on end, not for 15 minutes. Maxis, I'm upset that EA didn't let you do this game. Cheers!

  • whoever placed the mic on this video is an idiot.

    also, i can't wait to play this game.

  • This game is so good, but i can't get the cities to look like they have them there!

  • it seems similar to pharaoh and caesar series by Sierra - both great games. i still wanna give this one a try!

  • in SimCity Societies there is missions or we just need to built cities how we want???

    plz answer!

    and tell me if it's a good game!

  • maybe cities unlimited its better

  • In this sin city, is there also tsunami?

  • You don't create the Tsunamis, They are caused By The carbon emissions from your city. When this happens, Tons Of people come into your city so build homes fast!

  • Okay, thank you for telling me, I had this doubt

  • NO Prob!

  • also what stuff do i have to download to get it working on my computer

  • can this game have like wildfires or home fires and stuff also this game dosn't work on my computer what computer would it work for? ps: (i have a windows xp)

  • hmm.. im a simcity 4 fan but when city life came out.. i dont know.. sim city societies looks like crap..sim city societies shud came out years ago.. anyways..ifeel dissapointed at it

  • lol mic problems xD

  • Well she was wrong about alot of people enjoying it

  • Its not part of the series lady simcity 5 would be part of the series !

    God Can't even have tornados as disastors or monsters This is crap only three disastors to choose from .

  • I hate this game. The guys working at Tilted Mill must be a bunch of morons. The only way to lose money is buy spending them so practicly the only challenge in the game is building roads, they never end up where you want them to be. I wish Maxis would have made the game.

  • I love Sim City, I think the best version so far is Sim City 3000.

    I'm looking forward to this new one.

  • it has some GREAT new ideeas BUT....WHERE ARE THE HIGHWAYS...AIRPORTS...RAILROAD­S, and that roads suck.only 2 models dirt/asphalt :| (no diagonals only straight line)i hate it this way...i hope some expanison pack is "on the road"

  • looks like they went too far in realism.

  • Too bad this is a crap game

  • caqn u get railway lines and airports and that in the game ?

  • nah you cant

  • But u no there could b an expansion pack

  • Hopefully, anything to make this game better, its a shame

  • thenoodle98 y dont u shut up just because maxis dusnt make it dont mean its crap and the reson it'll of crashed is because u'll have 2 many game and y the hell did u beep out suckdose mummy not want u saying those naughty words!?!?!?!?!

  • This game is AWEFUL, i bought it and completely regret it! Maxis and NOT Tilted Mills should have been in charge of its production!!!

  • humm.. People are saying that the game sucks? But it looks great, it got great rewievs, and most of the ppls saying it sucks DON'T EVEN OWN THE GAME? :S

  • I think it sucks.

  • i dont think this game is going to be that cool

  • it SUCKS

  • Ok I hear alot about how this game sucks and its nothing like SC4 but first if you didnt play the game STFU you don't know what your talking about until you play it, not saying that im all for it  and that its great but you get the idea, second maxis isnt making this too bad so sad cry me a f***ing river get over it, just because maxis isnt making this doesnt mean its a bad game its only a bad game if the game itself is bad dont blame the companies

  • This game su*ks. I just got it yesterday. It crashed at the first 20 mins. My pc is way exceeds their minimum requirements. Also, this game is not "simcity" at all. You will be disappointed like me. If you don't believe me buy it and you will be regret like me later.

  • Just noticed your comment Dizzy. 3 diasters is a joke, even the original had more and you will find alot of SC fans enjoyed the disasters, casting one and then having the challenge to rebuild damaged was one aspect that made the game fun. My final word is look back at what you have typed and take a long hard look at how childish and idiotic you sound. Prick

  • Everyone who has paid money for this game and played it is entitled to voice their opinion. I for one won't start ranting, calling people nOObs, assholes or f**ckheads if they happen to say they like the game. I have played it and I think it is rubbish. Simpleton!

  • You guys are a bunch of fcking game n00bs! The old sim city's where fun...when it came out!...this game kills it..the graphics and gameplay is unbeliveable....btw tsxboy, you dont got a clue..the game blows the old ones away, it fcking rocks. All you assholes shouldnt even bother posting if you A)Dont like it, or B.) Havnt played it yet. Wake up and smell what year it is...fck heads.

  • so are u sure it rocks because i want to buy it but there are many people saying that it sucks

  • oH MY god THIS GAME SUCKS!! What the hell were they thinking?!?!?

  • If I hated the game before it even came out, then I would not have bought it. I can appreaciate that they tried to make it more simple, like the original. But it is too simple. The only good thing I can see about this is that it will get younger people into the city building genre with the game acting as a platform that will want them to take on full city management as seen in the previous games.

  • All of the haters here are so ridiculous. Most of these guys are people who knew they'd hate the game before it even came out - just because it isn't enough like SC4.

    This game is a spinoff, not SC5. Don't dismiss it just because it's different - it's actually pretty entertaining. Some of us like this game and don't appreciate the SC4 traditionalists flooding all online message boards ranting about it.

    Just wait until SC5 or Cities Unlimited comes out and layoff this game.

  • The diasters are even shit. Meteor storm, earth quake and major rain storms. Well thats really fucking fun. My advice to anyone thinking of buying this - don't!

  • You fkcing tool...alot of people dont play the fcking game to fck around with the disaster options...your a stupid idiot...as the rest of you all are ROFL. Three disasters in my opinion is better then none you loser...and why in the fck would you care about such a lame thing anyways....*YAY, LETS PRESS DISATERS BUTTONS!*, your a fckin loser man ROFL. All of you are..period.

  • This game is horrible. I hate EA! The only reason sim city 4 was good is because Maxis were still involved. After about two hours of playing it, I had enough. It is boring, there is no challenge at all. I just hope cities unlimited turns out to be as good as it looks.

  • i really does suck I can't believe i spent $50 on this shit I'M SOOOO DISSAPOINTED!! WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING??!

  • sim city ... the line is broken.. this game is shit.. i loved all the others.. this one isnt in the sim city spirit.. totaly waste of time... dont buy it.. downlaod it first so se how wack it is.. ea fucked up ..again

  • HAHA Sim city societies EPIC FAIL OF THE CENTURY!!!!

    EA you are a bunch of useless twats!!! Should have listened to what the fans wanted!!!!

  • exactly!!

  • game looks great, but the microphone is not placed properly. The voice gets loud then soft.

  • oh and btw this looks like MYSIMS FOR THE WII

  • what the? she just goes on about what shes doing but never says word bout other things.

    disasters?

    customize region?

    answer???!?!?!?

  • what platforms ???

  • I ordered it.. I just wish they'd come out with a 3D version of Sim City 4. I don't know if doing away with zones is good but we'll see once I get it. I think it'll be cool.

  • Im impressed so far

  • i love u girlfriend!!

    this is almost what i was missing, would change for the next game, in SimCity4.

  • This game looks amazing

    I have played all of the Sim City games and I like the old style but it is going to be endless fun creating diverse cities.

    (And I can FINALLY get skyscrapers)

  • Awesome game, defo buying

  • i know that it will be released on november but WHEN?

  • November 15th is the release date.

  • do anyone know exactly  when it will be released? i go every day to the shops and they dont have it...i feel very anxious right know

  • depends what country your in, in america i think its november 13th and i think australias the same and in england(or all of europe) its november 16th

  • THIS GAME IS GOING 2 BE THE BEST

    All you people saying the GAME SUCKS r ASS HOLES, U must live in the PAST,

    THEY PUT ALOT OF WORK INTO IT

    THIS GAME IS COOL cant wait to GET it

  • Can't we agree upon the fact, that the game in question is a SPIN-OFF from the Sim City series, rater than new INSTALLMENT in the Sim City series.

  • now what do you say eight months later?

  • Completely changing a game and still saying "it's the fifth in the series but it is different". That's not very tactical, PR-technically.

    NEVER say that you are going to change a popular game.

  • the microphone is not very well placed :)

  • i think there are no terraforming tools!! i just saw a video and you must choice an exist area

  • cool game

  • It's basically SimTown on a large scale

    A spinoff, Probably

    SimTown 2, Definetaly

    A kind of Sims 2 approach to it

  • It's basically SimTown on a large scale

    A spinoff, Probably

    SimTown 2, Definetaly

  • It is going not going to be good. It's only made to please the simtards on the expense of the original fanbase. In other words: THE GAME IS A FREAKING SPIN-OFF!!!

  • seems simcity has moved from macro building to micro building looks more like simtown

  • This game has departured far away from simcity, this is not simcity at all mate. I think I'm gonna stick up with simcity4 rush hour for couple of more years, this game is totally disarster.

  • This game looks fun

  • I wanna play!

  • "Don't juge a book by its cover" It might look bad but I think it will be a BRILLIANT game.

  • Sim City 4000 is more, moved to a closer idea. this is some kind of strange shit!

    i wanna learn the idea of a big city not some culture, etc.

  • whats so bad bout this GAME? i dont get it? it look GREAT. ive seen the screen shots and vids, its not THAT bad.

  • HMD!!! I want to play it right now!!! Sounds awesome, complete, pure awesome. And for all those people that think this game is easy, or silly. Then give the game a chance. Ya its different, but maybe its a better different.

  • them letting some one else make their game is like letting some one else sleep with their spouse.

  • Why are you people complaining about the game? It isn't even out yet! When it comes out and it turns out to be a crappy game, then you guys can bitch about it.

  • This is all I needed to know! I am so getting that game!

  • what is this its rubbish its not simcity its something else you ruined a very good game Im going to play simcity4 till they make better one EA ruined it

  • In short > Money is GOD!

  • I wanted more dynamic infrastructure : allow users to build generig bridges and tunnels, and let them decide what kind of transportation (road, highway, railway) to put on/in it. What do they do? They take us back to the limited options of Simcity Classic, for crying out load.

  • I couldn't agree with you more.

  • I wanted zoning to be expanded to airports (like SC2000), seaports, hospitals schools, etc, so that public building complexes look different, and placed on irregular properties. What do they do? They completely take zoning away.

  • Have you noticed how the Simcity Websites don't have a "contact us" link? The reason they made this crappy game is because they don't know what their users want. Why? BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED BY OUR COMMENTS!!!

  • Why did they do this to sim city? 4 was such a good game and just needed a refresh and a few new features. Sim city 4 took some skill to master and was chalenging and complex.

    Then they give us this, a game any 3 year old could master.

    To make simcity easier, all they needed was a sanbox mode and all the same features of simcity 4.

  • Yes I do think this is a big leap for the SimCity series, but a good one! I have simcity 4 and I think they couldn't expand on that any more without changing the gameplay and design, although it is a disappointment that they took away zoning and all that different transportation.

    But I think it's great that it's so much more creative now! I can't wait for it to come out!

  • This looks a lot like City Life, which I hate. Oh well, I guess we won't see any other Simcity games as we know them. Sad.

  • zoom in. narrate.

  • Sim City before was all just about building the perfect city and everyone being happy, everywhere would be skyscrapers if you did well, which isn't realistic at all.

    Zoning isn't in the traditional sense but as shown in the video you could have a slum area of the city with certain types of houses, work etc. and then another area of the city to be completely different, and I think that's more like real life.

    I'll definitely be buying this game and it will probably be addictive.

  • What would be super cool if they totally combined the Sims and Simcity, so you can build a city and then focus on individual homes and families.

  • I am disappointed. It reminds me of Civilization or Rise of Nations. EA has lost fans of the game with this one. There should be an expansion pack that would compliment the Rush Hour addition for Sim City 4. More bridges, more trains, more airport options... more roadway interchange options....etc. This would temporarily satisfy the novice and veterans.

  • i think they should make the game more realistic... throw the "fancy energies" away man.. damn.. where did they get the idea to make somekind of energies or society sh**

  • It looks good but WHY HAVE NO MORE ZONING?!

  • This would have been interesting if they actually incorporated it with the ideas of sim city 4, where you have transportation, railroads, zoning, etc... this one is just too different, its a big leap to the side, tacking a different track than the other sim city games. I remember how satisfying it was to watch all the trains on the reailroads and busy highways, well wateredcities, etc... lets you know how good of a player you are.

  • i cant wait for sims 3, man when that game comes out its gonna be number1 im sure of it, this game on tha other hand i have no clue. lol

  • GO MAXIS!!

    boo EA, stick with Battlefields and stuff

    dont screw with our awesome game

    ugh

  • -.- doesn't look too good, with no zoning and all

  • another reason to dowbnload the game without buyingit :_p

  • Please EA dont realease this game!!! You're not going to make money!!! None of us Sim City fans will buy it!!

  • The only good thing are the graphics. But who cares when the game isn't good. Without zoning the game is terrible. I was hoping that the game would allow larger cities to be made, but it is quite the opposite. I am very disappointed.

  • The graphics suck, you're on crack.

  • I hope that EA and Maxis take the Sim City series back and make a PROPER SC5.

  • Its a shame. I love SC4, and SC3, but now EA just hand over the Sim City series to a game company that has no idea of the old feeling of previous ones.

    From CQzar: "Why reinvent the wheel? Why on earth would they fix something that ain't broke? This may be good, but it's just too juvenile.

    Fact: Most of SC4's buyers are adult & teen males. Maybe for EA, that's the problem. They need more women and children."

    I COMPLETELY agree with you.

  • Lord I hope this is just a different type of simcity and they make a simcity 5 the old way...

  • Shame on EA for not giving maxis the money and the muscle to produce it and SHAME ON TILTED WHATEVERTHEYRECALLED for butchering what the game is supposed to be.

    They're trying to turn this into the fucking SIMS so they can sell another 16 million copies of it and load up on the expansion packs.

    Fuck that noise.

  • I don't understand this at all. SC4 was one of EA's bestselling games! Why reinvent the wheel? Why on earth would they fix something that ain't broke? This may be good, but it's just too juvenile.

    Fact: Most of SC4's buyers are adult & teen males. Maybe for EA, that's the problem. They need more women and children.

  • What....

    No zoning =O!

    I doubt this game will be good.

  • Ok Rachel, wouldn't it make more sense to have zoning and the decide what types of buildings are produced in those area's? Does anyone know if there is even terraforming in this game? As far as im concerned, this is almost a copy of "City Life" which suffered a great deal compared to Sim City 4. Sim city has now gone to shit.

  • Im disappointed to see this game.. So now i must build my own city? build every fucking building by myself?!? whats the meaning with that?!??!

  • I sincerely hope that this doesn't flop or suck like city life... I have SimCity 4 deluxe, and bought City life for comparison... It sucked... it was more for looks than for city mechanics like SC4 is.

  • hey shutup ok you guys are fuckin weird EA games is pretty cool too not just Maxis

  • You don't know what you're talking about. Maxis has been producing this franchise since 1989. They know how to do it right.

  • I wish SC4 had these graphics

  • Its just Simcity for the 5-10 year old range.

  • this game isn't going to be that great I'll just go play SC4 instead and wait for spore i might buy this but i doubt it

  • It's probably true that this will not please fans of the current Simcity franchise (myself included), as it's a completely different simulation. They never said it was Simcity 5, though, so just because it's different doesn't mean it's a bad game. Maybe they'll expand Simcity 4 with more expansion packs. That would probably be more feasible for them.

  • O...M...G They BETTER make another SimCity after this one to bring back their reputation. The game doesn't look to great, has NOTHING to do with the franchise (ok they are both cities...), and will probably lose a large portion of their fan base (myself included). I'm gonna stick with SC4 or go to Spore.

  • I 100% agree with you, even about Spore
