  • This is just fucking retarded! I can make all those theme of cities in societies in SimCity 4! Thanks to the huge mod community. You can make any kind of city you want in simcity 4. You just half to use your brain, unlike EA and this dumb ass! Why is gods name EVEN put the word "Sim" and City" in the title of the game!? You can only make towns, not cities. And this is NOT a sim at all compared to SimCity 4. Will Wright if your reading this and love your true fans make one more SimCity.

  • I own all Simcity games for Windows and recently start playing SCS. SCS is actually not a bad game, I don't know why people say it sucks but the game mechanics are actually played differently but that doesn't mean it's all time bad. SCS is basically an up-to-date version of SimTown.

  • For Free Xbox Live Codes and XBOX 360 Giveaways

    watch?v=OGwTspDqBPE

  • AHHH!!!please this game suck balls,and we have to wait more time for the next sim city,Tilted Mill:¡You have ruined the sim city series!

  • It will be, i hope, simcity 5 or simcity 5000

  • looks boring

  • Sim City Societies destinations is better

  • Isn't Sim City Destinations just a expansion pack?

  • This game should have never seen the light of day. I just hope they don't mess up the sims series like they did simcity.

  • Sims 2 sucks too, it went fucking gay

  • yeah it REALLY really sucked!! this lady is a retard!

  • its a spin off

  • its not called sim city 5 you know

  • Simcity Societies is the worst simcity game ever! I can't believe i even bought it without reading the reviews, i just trusted that it would be good because SC4 was so good. :(

  • after Sim City Societies came out, i'm not a sim city fan no more. because of this stupid game. gosh it's sooooooo shit. check out my video. the real sim city.

  • i hear that Sim City Societies sucks.

  • Wait I'm sorry, your right sbaby3413 to fix your pc so it stops crashing and have space so the game works, do this:

    1. Go to start menu and click on run

    2. Type in command and hit OK

    3. Type CD/ in new screen

    4. Then type format c: /s and then pres Y

    Now every program should have enough space to work In your theory.

    Glad to help, Enjoy ;)

  • Nice attack but now you sound dumber. How do you install a game on your pc if their is no space or how does it crash before its even installed? Now if u installed it then filled your pc, understandable. "BUT" EA just sent out a patch to fix the crash caused by the game. My rock say, "Its ok facts don't lie." Also your computer doesn't crash because of space (unless its win 95), it doesn't allow you to save or install. Read a book and stay in school please.

  • Damn! After reading this, I finally found someone dumber than my pet rock. I'm sorry but your quote, "FUCK ALL OF U CUZ I THINK ITZ GONNA BE GUD N' IM BUYIN IT. if my pc crashs i'll delete sum programs." Is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's the program that crashes. Freeing space is not going to do anything.

  • I thought ET for Atari was bad but this game makes ET look like a game for PS3! I'm sorry but I have played all of the SimCity games and when I bought this one, "I was pissed." I tried to give it a shot, but their is no reason to play it. Time to go back to SimCity 4 Deluxe and add some add-ons and call it SimCity 5 to make up for what this game has done to a great series. MAXIS please save this series.

  • What a lazy company can't add what was on simcity 4 and distasters :@.If i were her i would release that crap on christmas,because like adding ports,stations,disastres like Alien Invasion or Otrnado or Mega Tsunami(YThta would be c00l) =( It heard my feelings becuase of a only city :(

  • I agree. That bitch has killed my simcity. This game really sucks. Don't buy it. It should have not been released. There're so many problems, boring, no point of playing it, crashing, limiting of building roads, no highways, no airport, no seaports,...

  • somone needs to slap that bitch in the face. she created SHIT!

  • u dnt get motorways (Highways for you yanks) & u cant lay dwn subway tunels (wich made organising ur trnsprt links far easier, evn tho it may hav bn a pain). No seaports or airports. thts it! im going bak to simcity 4. BIG DISSAPOINTMENT!

  • building descriptions & news tikers dnt hav those funy little jokes like in previus Simcity games (I know that sounds petty but it made u smile). u cant select the music u dnt wnt to listen to. The city advisrs are completely gon so u r left on ur own, tryin to find the "Despatch Fire Engine" buton is a nightmare. Cant create naybrhood deals.

  • I have it, what did you think of it?

    I thought it was well, erm, boring.

    Thr is hrdly any disastrs. Thr r vry few "same-style" buildings (Like if u want to make a capitalistic city thr is only 3 skyscrapers). u hav to place evry building dwn so thr is no goal to setin the key factrs right for gettin the buildings u wnt in the right places.....

  • i just bought it. i like simcity 4 much better!!!

  • This game couldn't be further from any other simcity game out there. In fact, after getting it last week, I'd say it sucks!!

    So dumbed down it's scary. Perpendicular roads only. You can only build venues, homes or wokplaces!!

    Really not happy. Take it back Maxis & redo it please!!!

  • u guys need to live a little. this game is gona ROCK lol!

  • ha! ROCK? it SUCKS!! i have it i wish i could flush it but it won't fit in my toilet!

  • I think EA has killed the Sim City franchise: Maxis has to become independent again! I will definetely not buy this game! Eat this you corporate dream destroyers!

  • I can't believe what i just saw and heard!

    I'm a huge Simcity fan (way back since Will Wright's Simcity 2000) and I am totally disapointed with what I heard about sweatshops and not having the people happy: what kind of game are you doing? Sim City was all about creating a city, and trying to improve it, this "soxieties" is kinda like Civilization, but I don't want SimCity to be like Civ!

  • they need to make more sorts of roads, and i think il want more options, but its a long way from release

  • They dumb'ed down the game for the idiot's that don't understand simcity 4 will be the last good one, because it's over!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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 temproarily satisfy the novice and veterans.

  • What the hell is wrong iwth Civ4?

  • again as i have posted in previous videos, it may have been nice if they incorporated these ides into the original game, without taking away from the transportation (railroads, ferry boats, airports) and zoning, etc... just seems to be going a totally different direction now. Not for me, if a demo comes out I may try it to see for myself.

  • EA is so gonna sink with this one. Will probably be in the bargain bin within 6 months.

  • haha! lol I agree.

  • What the fuck is this =O!

  • I cant believe how badly EA has DOGGED its devoted fanbase...Weve been waiting years for a new exciting SIMCITY that still had the amazing flavour of its older ones...and what do they throw at us? A piece of SHIT game...All you people that like the look of this no way grew in the generation of the true sim cities! RIP SIM CITY- You were my favourite :-(

  • 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.

  • Jonathan are you serious? Of course we a gonna be pist a game that does not meet are standards. Do you buy food that is not what you want? It's like they are ignoring their fans and any company would tell you that giving their customers what they want is very important. Don't one of those people who always buys into shit.

  • It's look like a TELETUBBIES world...

    I'll look what Montecristo prepare with Cities unlimited.

  • if you dont like then dont buy or play and just play number 4 cuz no one wants to here people bitching about it. So what its easier now it can be played by young and old so selte the fuck down

  • Shut up, This is about the fact that they have changed the format of the game all sim city games have enjoyed, and its because slow learners couldnt understand our games that has caused you slow learners to dumb down our game so shut up.U R the reason we are bitching.

  • fuck you all i like it

  • what a stupid game it will be. where da hell is economy and strategy ? who is target 4 this game - kids ? This is piece of shit like CityLife - game for kids. R.I.P. SimCity

  • what a kiddy game!!!!!!! yiaakkkkkkk!!!!!! i want true life not cartoon!!1

  • Leave your computer behind then.

  • I've waited for SC5 as I thought it would be even better than the great game of Sim City4. As I see they produced a total piece of shit for 5 to 10 years old children. Sim City has officialy died.

  • R.I.P SimCity :'(

  • This is the new SimCity? This is complete bullshit. But then... EA has monopoly, almost 99.99% of new games are total shit. I prefer even more than ten year oldies. Those games had a soul. The new ones are commercial crap. To hell with EA!

  • EA, u just got rid of all ur fans. SimCity societies is a load of bull. You play SimCity to build a CITY, not to please ppl. No one's gonna like this. This game's for toddlers.

  • EA needs to be destroyed.

  • It's cool game

  • Oh ya and I sorta dislike the whole 'Venues' thing to make your Sims happy. Why can't they just go to work as in previous Sim City's? Unless Venues are the equivalent to Commercial or 'Work Places' are all Industrial, Commercial and Agricultural. Hmmm...Well I still will but this game but first...

    I MUST BUY SHENMUE AND SHENMUE 2!!!

  • I think it was a smart move to make it so called '...easy for anyone to pick up and play...' because there was a lot of people bitching that 'Oh my god how do you play this?!?'.

    I for one, think this looks good because I think this franchise is going in a good direction.

  • SimCity has officially died. What if anything is "sim" about this junk? Shame on you EA, we waited four years for this? I'm sticking to SC4.

  • this simcity SUCKS!

  • that seems alot harder then sc4

  • They say it seems to be easier, because people bitched about not being able to play it. They were probably 7 year olds with no mentality. I, for one, am 12 and played this since I was 10 and always had no trouble with this...of course I do have a higher IQ then most American children.

  • maybe your a rich faggot

  • im gonna buy it when it comes out

  • i hope you could still landscape

  • wow this sucks sim city is dead it is just a glorifed version of the sims.

  • THAT IS NOT LOOK LIKE A SIM CITY GAME

  • i hope that i can still put tornados and stuff on my city

  • Hahaha, me too. I loved doing that to the pre-made cities, or just ones I made and save before destroying them with quakes, fires, and lightning bolts ^_^.

  • that suck

  • i'm gona be the first to buy it.

    Even if it means waiting outside a shop for a week

  • I think this simcity will be the best 1 yet and cant wait 4 the release !

  • this looks bad :(

    the olda concept was even better than this one. I hope maxis will release the REL sim city 5 according to the old versions.

  • From what I'm seeing the gameplay isn't like the gameplay of previous Sim Cities witch might not be a good thing for the fans. >_> Unfortionaly Maxis has no part in making this next game so I'm not gonna set my hopes to high for this game.

  • WTF!!! I don't understand why the developers did not keep the old concepts of Sim City! I have been playing Sim City for over 10 years! The the HELL is this lady talking about! Keeping citizens happy?! (If the citizens aren't happy in this game, they will not leave your city. But it's okay, because you can send them to a center to get brainwashed?!)WTF

  • they made this game to please a few who dont know anything about sim city, and turned their backs on the people have been playing it for 15 years. this game is complete bullshit.

  • looks ok but its gonna suck

  • byebye simcity.

  • the roads look .. blahh.. they are kind of boxy.. sorta like the "city life" roads

  • Long lives Might & Magic V

  • This game is not simcity. It's really too bad that they let a great product die.

  • its by a different game producer! it was by will wright but he had to work on spore so he had this new girl do it. hm but i kinda like wat FTUltra said, take out sim in the name and just have it be called city societies. without the zones and watching your city grow, its not even simcity

  • spore

  • it sucks... and now i'm sad... whaaaaa!!!!

  • SWEATSHOPS??? COUNT ME IN YEAHHEAY

  • u idiots u dont even know how it plays..it could be the perfect thing for you little brains...if they hadnt dumbed it down wen u gys tried to play it your brain would short circut so be grateful they made a game uv you brains capabilities. and be side ...you can be evil on the game...MMMWAHAHAH!! oh and dont try to think to hard u'll hurt yourself.

  • you tell em'!

  • They put the word simcity there so that people will be mistaken to buy this product. lol...jk.

  • bleh, this is not sim city. they should remove the 'sim' from its name. Totally fucked up if you'd ask me.

  • dammit

  • It looks really toyish... Like a baby's game! Almost looks like the Sims downtown area! NOT HAPPY AT ALL!! SHIT GRAPHICS! SHIT GAME!!!

  • at o1:o1 i think i saw stlin

  • I don't like to make sweeping statements, but this is truly an abomination. It's a cheap lovechild of The Sims and City Life; a tacky, unrealistic and ridiculously badly prioritised attempt at a game. The intention was supposedly to "make the game accessible" which means it has been dumbed down to become a cash-cow like its crappy inspiration. This is just another pathetically off-target city simulation trotted out by a second-rate developer.

  • Can you say City Life copy Cat!!. Why don't they just take Simcity4 and make it look like this game and then add all that societal shizz into it. Someone of the buildings dont even look realistic. Im still gona buy it but im sure its gonna be disapointing to a point.

  • I'd be happy with a full 3D Simcity 4 (with graphics like Tiberium Wars). Better U-drive it tools and walkable streets.

    Oh! and more disasters of course lol!

    Seriously, I liked the complexity of SC4. Instead of dumbing it down, why alter the difficulty levels or something?

  • I was anticipating the arrival of "sim city 5" and they dish out this piece of crap... they destroyed it, no RCI, no variety, just plop and drop building...... im going to spend my money on a good game, like Starcraft II

  • goes to show wat happens when maxis isnt workin on it

    they are to busy with spore and put some other comapany to do it and looks to me like they fucked up

    its doesnt look simcity at all and looks like a copy of city life which is a pretty shit game

  • SC Societies is like The Sims Stories, It's not the next in the series but there for that kind of gameplay as is with this game.

  • wooww did you see that lag..?? Believe me they are using the strongest pc becouse they have let promote it so what about us normal pc .... Bye bye this games sucks ive seen that already......

  • go build a real city like where people need it most

  • I don't think this makes it more "easier to play". SC4 was by far the best and I'm just gonna stick with it.

  • What have they done to SimCity!?!?!?!?

    :(

    god damn it!... they're about to kill my all time favourite game ever!!!

    Don't do this EA!!! please!!!

    this is not SimCity!!!

  • don't rate it till you've played it. THEN slag it off all you like

  • I'm not even gonna play it... this is not a game I would buy :(

  • FUCK simcity!

  • Societial energies? WTF...sounds pretty stupid. Would have been much better to just make SimCity 5 and fix the bugs, add enhancements, etc.

  • Show us the game instead of her ffs.

  • ELVIS ESTA VIVO!!???? un documental lo muestra vivo en Argentina.

    Busca: Elvis vivo en argentina

  • Too bad spore is single player. The fact that there is no "direct" social contact in my opinion will stifle the popularity that the game could have gained.

  • first spore then this :O oooo maxis rocks :D

  • EA sucks

  • TROGDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is "The Sims: City Edition" specially made for 9 year old girls. Its not Simcity, its crap, dont buy it.

  • I'm confused as to how you can judge a game when it's not even out yet.

  • ahh this looks awesome!

  • great! ive always wanted to see that bitch go.

  • sheesh why does the host have to be like such a robot. he looks like he's totally uninterested in the game and wants to be someplace else

  • The game looks to be very juvenile indeed at the moment and as fan of the intricate process of city planning and aesthetics I'm rather disappointed.

    As for the host, I think he's quite cute ;-)

  • Even the reporter seemed disappointed

  • looks like this is a test for simcity 5, simcity societies seems to be a parallel game for testing the graphics capability of a future real simcity game

  • when the hell is "holiday season"?

  • Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa.

  • omg.. sucks. i want the old simcity contents and gameplay back..

  • That looks really boring.

  • "A game which is easy to pick up for everyone"

    WHY?!?!?!? I don't want easy-kids games. I want a serious city simulator! Like SimCity4, which is the top of the top, but better (thanks to improved technology!!)

  • I don't like the graphics of this game so far. They look very cruddy. :( I do like the concept of the citizens however being that your more focused on them.

  • I'm looking forward to this. As others have said, I have the old SimCity games for classic simulation. There's really little you can do to improve on SimCity 4 in my opinion, while keeping the same formula. This, however, could be fun for just being creative.

  • This is a spin-off, people. Relax, the franchise is intact. And who's dissing the graphics? SC4's graphics weren't anything special, same crappy isometric view with 4 directions w/ limited 3D elements and a whole lot of artifacts and tearing-what's so special about that? It looks like you can actually move through your city in realtime 3D-it's about time! If you're happy with the old SimCity, go play the old SCs, if you want something new and somewhat original, then I say give this a try.

  • its boring, its another sim city! woopty!

  • In addition to that, the fact that they made this easy is a sick disgusting attempt at mass marketing, because they want to make simcity as appealing as the sims. they went in the wrong direction. there were 2 possible options that could have made in this game. A: a more global scale with a more developed quality of regional gameplay. B: an in-depth city that gets to a personal level (sims), while still retaining realistic city factors. this game is like simtown all over again it sucks

  • This is an unrealistic throwback for little kids who want to play the game. "very easy to play" , i say fuck that. i want a god damn challenge, or atleast something that is realistic. you don't mess with the simcity formula, and now, theyve completely destroyed that. the graphics are shit, there is no industry that drives the backbone of what a REAL city is.

  • YES

  • Actually I've been waiting for a SimCity like this for some time. I always felt constrained by the classic SimCity setup and disconnected as the "mayor." This version looks like it will have a wider variety of play styles and that's a good thing!

  • Same here. This actually looks really, really good.

  • as a SC player since '89 on the C64 (and every version since, on multiple other platforms), I must say that I'm terribly bummed out at this coming release of SC. I really, really wish this was a joke. so much more could have been done considering the huge changes in social networking, online gaming, and simply graphics. this one seems like a huge, dumbed-down bore.

  • Dude, this game will still be a good game in it's own right. Remember it is only a spin off, not a real SimCity 5. It will still be good, it reminds me of a game Maxis tried in the past. Remember SimsVille? I really liked that game and it got cancelled? I wish it would have came out, hopefully SCS will be just like that.

  • EA nor maxis is making simcity socities, simcity socities is being made by Titled Mill which i heard it sucks, simsocities is not simcity 5 its like the degenerate son of simicty 4

  • I'm no fan of EA, but the Sims/Sim City series is probably the only good thing they have going right now

  • This Game is going to suck bad. It's not even a real Sim City, EA has gone down the tubes with this game just like they did with every other one they made. Idiots

  • Sim City meets Black & White!

    Sounds like fun. I can't wait to see a demo.

  • XBOX LIVE THE MOVIE its a new series i made and by subscribing and giving me your gamer tag you will go on the show. and spread the word please.
