  • i was just hoping you could build round roads.

  • Looks to complicated for me tbh

  • this game is great =D

  • Can you guys make a MOD for this city?

  • Is that a City? my hamlet is larger than dat!

  • Even though a lot of people say that this game wasn't that good, I in fact like this game over SimCity 4. I like how, in this game, you have a more realistic look on a city. Everything in your city comes to life and it really makes it seem real and that's what I was looking for. Sure, it's not as fun as SimCity 4, some people might say, but I indeed like this game. ;)

  • Do they produce Somalians?

  • I want a new Sim City Game!!!

  • Hawai Shirt Day? Thank god they changed that.

  • All of you who want Will Wright back, trust me: you don't. Will Wright has gone to the dark side. Instead of masterpieces for a small audience of intellectuals, he makes dumbed-down trash for the masses. Sid Meier is the only designer worth praising. Civilization 5 comes out soon, so we get to see if Sid went down the same path as Will. Long live Maxis and Firaxis.

  • @BloodofSpartans I'd like an example of his "dumbed-down trash." Spore was originally his idea, but the development team changed everything.. The Sims was his idea, but games 2 and 3 were not even his own creations.. This game wasn't his either, since it's a Tilted Mill game, not a Maxis game.

  • umm... lady, your sitting in Will Wright's seat

  • Comment removed

  • If it were made by Maxis, it would be much better...

  • stupid fat bitch, Sim City Societies was the worst PC game ever. this shouldn't be even named Sim City 5, it sucks ass.

  • Comment removed

  • I have this game (+ = Good graphics, Choose buildings, U can choose your style and U can choose nature.)  (- = No railroad,elevated rail, design subway way and so big streets... ) simcity 4 is better and it have verymuch mods...

  • figures its a girl producer ... now i know why it suxs

  • Sim City Societies was a great concept and had good graphics, but execution was very poor and made it was a very boring game. I'd try to like it, but after 5 minutes I'd want to play something else.

    Pros: Good concept, good graphics.

    Cons: Poor game mechanics, poor music/not a lot of music (in this walk-through they use a Good song from Sim city 4), laggy even on high-end machines, extremely ugly UI, small selection choice of buildings, etc.

  • Where the zoning? no taxes? no rail roads? no monorail? no hi-ways? no airport? no neighbor city? no mountains? no tunnels? no bridges? why my building dosen't grow any bigger? where's the simulation of the game?

    sim city 4 is 100,000,000,000,000,000 times better than sim city societies

  • 0:53 - you build the building yourself.

    Thats where this game is such a disgrace compared to SimCity 4. PLEASE bring back zoning so I can make a town that can hold more than 100,000 in an hour! PLEASE!!

  • I think sim city societies is an communistic economic simulation because you plant very building yourself and you do not have to consider a demand as in sim city 4.

    But nevertheless the game show well that an communistic economy does not works.

  • this game with expansion Destinations is good, is very different from others simcity 4, this game is sort of spin-off developed for create your city.

  • TILTED MILL SUCKS ASS!!!

  • Horrible try... Maxis must make Simcity

  • This is more like a spin off, not simcity 5

  • this game is terrible!! WE WANT SIM CITY 5!!!!

  • I just got this game for super dirt cheap 99 cents brand new, not kidding either.

  • Sim City 4 Was MUCH better. This isn't even sim city.

  • I agree with Simtopia23

    this game is not really creative, is very limited actually.

    I think simcity 4 was more creative.

    you could lay out your city however, this game, well not so much.

  • they should named the game as "simcity for babies"

  • I would an elementary schoool in the middle of 6 prisons - LMFAO !!!! Sick shit

  • Basically it's the same

  • simcity societies the best!!!

  • city life isn't a creative game

  • BOOOOO!!!!!

  • CityLife is better :)

  • 3:15, that looks exactly like my house!!!!! no joke, seriously i live in a luxurios mansion. :) yay!

  • Who cares?

  • I want his game but it won't run on a power pc g4 mac >8(

    Stupid woman didn't design it right 8P

  • I wanted that game too, bought it, and made me waste money.

  • AAaw Man that sucks. I feel for you. I bought the game too, and then realised it didn't work in my old laptop (this was a while ago before my PowerPC mac) I had the embarassment of going and returning it.

    I brought tranformers for wii instead haha :D

  • good god that girl sounds so bored

  • sim city 4 is definitely better

  • sim city 4 is better

  • I like Sim City 4 way better actually.

  • tha wost thing i dont like about it is not enuf map space

  • Somehow SimCity Societies sucks..... I want a classic SImCity!!!!

  • what kind of populations do you get in this game?

  • A max of 135000

  • what iv gotten more that that

  • Now they have simulators for EVERYTHING. I'm gonna make one called bathroom simulator xD

  • u build a bathroom or just watch people sit in a bathroom

  • it looks like a childlish game now

  • Cities XL is gonna rock, and kick Sim City Societies' ass!

  • Ok, I dont thinks it "that" bad, I mean the game is FAR from perfect, but, It is playable. I love that its 3d, and the graphics are beautiful, yet I personally don't like how we cant personalize the terrain more, and there should be more challenge added, along with maybe bringing the uDrive it feature back, a few more buildings, maybe bring back the need to supply water and provide waste management facilities. Put that all in another expansion, and there you go.

  • I like her city.:)

  • FUCK SC5! SC4 IS THE BEST!

  • for all u ppl fighting about witch game is better i hav something for u luk simcity 4 is great cuz its challenging n u really do what a mayor does witch makes it fun obviously n simcitysocieties is great 2 because you can anything you want n i think its great for beginners n its got a greater variety of possibilities so ye simcitysocieties isnt as challenging n realistic like simcity4 but simcitysocieties is fun n has great graphics both games hav their down side n upside so stop fighting!!!

  • would it work on a core 2 duo 2.0ghz 3gb ram and 8600M gt??

  • yh obviously. its working on my laptops which is only 1.8 ghz with 2gb ram.

  • the game is alright i suppose. but it isnt simcity godmode. ur technically not a mayor as much as a social enginner

  • I just noticed the background music in this video is the same music from the old PS1 game Parasite Eve. Does anyone remember that one?

  • stop bitching about the game and upgrade your computer. so far ive played it and its been good.

  • i love this game i also like sim city 4 but you need to have varety at some point

  • i like the game but it gets boring very quickly

  • Terrible game. DON'T BUY IT.

    It really is hidiously crap.

  • Oigan esa no es la María Pajolera que tanto insultaban en el video de loquendo S.A????

  • Very different to simcity 4.. its kinda confusing atm as iv only just started playing it and its hard to find all the buildings and stuff.. lol.. but hey it seems ok! And perhaps the next simcity anyways may be back to like the original style.

  • I love this game, now I can create my own town. That's been my dream for seweral years since I was like 7, when I get bigger I might be an architect and build lots of high buildings in Sweden.

  • Pros: Good graphics

    ...

    That's all I can think of right now.

  • Pros: Awesome Graphics, Lots of new stuff

    Cons: Gets boring easily

  • @Snoops6 Well, that and the ability to manufacture almsot any building you want. Too bad I can't have it on a PC. :(

  • @Snoops6 BEtter graphics, badder gameplay = less fun

  • The heart of the game isn't the same. They just proved it in this walkthrough. I played it and its gets boring. Like everyone else, Sim City 4 or 3000.

  • And you can build towns. All zones are split by density. Low, medium, and high. The higher you can go the more of a chance your gonna make something like New York.

  • Shit! I just bought this game but saw tons of negative comments about it. I should do a little bit research before taking out my credit card!

  • EA, why do you have to take creditable, Fun and brilliant franchises and ruin them! This is bloody annoying and now i know not to buy any EA game release. I WAS looking forward to C&C3, but you will probably ruin that. For gods sake EA, get your act together

  • Stop bitching its simple as "dont buy there games" duh

  • Sucks game ever!

  • if i would be the boss at EA i would fire all those people that created societies

  • fuck you ya fat ugly woman! you ruined the game! i hope you go out of buisness!

  • what sim city game should i buy and is it disasters on this game?

  • how do you lot know that sim city 4 is the best sim city 5 isnt due owt for another 3 years n 2 months you will only know which is the best when that game finally comes out!

  • THis is not sim city 5 eg its not the sequel of sim city 4

    Sim city 5 comes out in 2011

  • It's shit opared to Sim City 4

  • Man, this is not even close to SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition. What did she say "NO ZONING"

    BORING!!!

  • Yeah i didn't mind 2D .I kinda liked it. I think simcity 4 is the best simcity they will ever make.

  • if you are a true simcity fan then this will look like crap when you first see it

  • i think i like citylife better

  • sim city societies ist ein ram fresser !

    ist echt schlecht programmiert !

    habe mich so auf scs gefreut und nun diese entäuschung aber sonst gute grafik aber wie gesagt was mich ankotzt ist, das es mehr als 2 gb ram braucht !

    wird zeit für noch mehr patches

  • SimCity Societies Braucht mehr als 2 gb ram ! SimCity Societies hatt jede menge fehler trotz patch 3 !

    SimCity Societies stürzt ab sobald ich eine stadt mit mehr als 40.000 einwohner habe !

    SimCity Societies NICHT KAUFEN !

    SimCity Societies dont buy !

    SimCity Societies have heavy bugs and need more then 2 gb ram !!!!!

  • i have 512 ram or the system specs for the game and it stil lags! but i stll play it, didnt pay 40$ for nothing

  • Sadly I have to agree everyone. Most peoples freezes soon after playing. I haven't gotten to play really, so ive been playing the sims 2!

  • you must be joking i have 2gb ram and the game works perfectly

  • this walktrough is "good" if do you like SimCity

  • this walkthrough was kinda boring

  • simcity societies - destinations

  • ther will be simcity destinations, whit over 300 new buildings, 35 new special sims and atlast air and water traffic

  • My fiend. this sim city is better than simcity 4

  • sim city 4 was the best

  • i had alot of fun w/ this game

  • ur second personality is always a loser yeah?

  • Im sorry rachel, your pretty good looking n all but you fucked us over. This is nothing but programed crap. i can't sit and play this game. it just sets you up for failure. You guys at EA seriously need to do a mass recall. This game was just mentally destroying me and i'm sure its the same for others.

  • OMG! Your'e totally right! I have this.. this SimCity 3000 (some uk edition)ofcourse it's shit, BUT it has 8 disasters!!! This freakin' game has 3!!!!! WHAT KINDA GAME IS THIS?!?! one of them is storm! WTF?! STORM! STORM DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, IT'S USELESS! And it lasts like... forever! Then there's this earthquake, it's pretty cool. The camera shakes like hell, if u zoom in. The third one is meteor shower. yeah reeeeeeeaaaaaallly destructive. TO MY INNER CHILD!

  • Oh, and where's the riots? The fires? The whirpools? The toxic cloud? The swarm of um... bugs? The UFOs? And one of my favourites- the tornados(you can put like 10 tornadoes in the same time, that's cool)? Oh, in the game Simcity 3000, the UK-thing, there was also earthquakes and meteor showers. Way to go, EA! these things are reeeaaalllyyy original!

  • i loved sim city 3000!

  • lol yeah

  • this game sucks balls

  • simoleans lol its the unit of money

  • this game is bull shit!!! this game destroyed reputation of simcity games.... this is shit !!! this shouldn't call simcity... simcity 4 i god and tis is shit!!

  • I love sim city 4 and i want more of the game. Looking at the video it looks complicated and restricted. I watched a few reviews and aparently you cant place things where you want to.

    Shall i get the game?

  • well the graphices look good that the only good thing.

  • even the walk threw is boring... imagine the game...... scary!

  • the game sucks. you can't actually lose at it!

  • I just wish i new how to make my own LANDSCAPE Coz up to now all thats possible is the RANDOMIZE option, I need a SPECIFIC type of landscape ARGH

  • this game looks SOO boring!!

  • Yeah, it is!

  • this is a copy of sims! simcity 4 is a lot better

  • SimCity Societies is a buggy, slow, unrealistic boring game with little challenges.

  • Hm I bought this today, it's interesting, not only do the dynamic shadows facinate me (damn my curiosity) :P this game is great, I have sc4 and scsocieties both are wonderful games.

  • looks boring not trying to be mean though

  • Sim city societies is dumbed-down crap. EA is terrible. Tilted Mill made a crappy game. Sim city 4 was awesome.

  • It looks like they tried to make a "Simcity" for a "The Sims" fan. Totally sucks. I'll just have to continue playing Simcity 4 until Simcity 5 comes out.. .. ..

  • Maxis Software is an American company that was founded as a video game developer and is now a brand name of Electronic Arts (EA). Maxis' second software title was the seminal SimCity, a city simulation and planning game. Maxis is also the creator of the best-selling computer game of all time, The Sims and its sequel The Sims 2. These three titles and their related products are the brand's most popular and successful lines.

  • fuck you ea!

  • this game has nothing to do with REALITY. IT IS NOT A SIMULATION IT SUX.

  • BRING BACK MAXIS YOU TYRANT!!!!!!

  • to a certain extent, she is right, its still open ended, but the focus has moved from creating a city and managing it, to more of managing the people instead. I reckon in the future, one sim city will draw all these ideas of the last game together in a complete form.

  • this game SUCK

  • man i wud rather watch a city on google earth then make a city on this game

  • Ik! This game is awful! Don't play it. These Retards bought out maxis. MAXIS OWNED THESE FAGS! This makes me feel sick! THERE WILL NEVER BE A SIMCITY AS GOOD AS SIMCITY 4 FROM THIS COMPANY!

  • Aside form the kiddy comments here, I didnt like this game terribly.

    Not enough freeway options (come on, either freeway or dirt road?) Not enough "Zoom Out" ability, and too many square buildings.

    I was also hoping for some online work, be it placing my society in a "City" I share with my fellow Sim players, or play with a partner who builds as well.

    Its not too bad but it doesn't feel as Epic as any of the predecessors. Its good for a quick Sim romp.

  • nice water

  • You cant stand the FACT that this game has changed from when you have played it.

    I enjoy these games and I give it a 9.5 so their.

    I dont listen to people trying to decide for me nor critics saying their own opeion which they think they can decide for me, well fuck you's

  • The game totally sucks, I spent TOO MUCH money on this piece of SHIT, I wish maxis made it.

  • she talks like a fag. PLAY SIMCITY 4 UNTIL S5 COMES OUT!!! TRUST ME THIS GAME SUX

  • exactly what i'm doing!

    SCS can suck my dick!

  • at 3:19, you said you wont make money.

    YOU SHOULDNT BE MAKING MONEY AT ALL BECAUSE YOU RUINED THE SIM CITY SERIES!

  • How do you get more Sims to drive cars?

  • rachel bernstien you need to fuck off and get a person who knows how to make a decent simcity game take your job.

    if maxis comes back, you'll have no job, live on the streets and have a poor life of making a great game into a horrible disaster you tyrant!

  • she seems gay

  • This is a really good game, was a good buy! go buy it if you haven't!

  • yea right! i'm not wasting a dime on this shity game!

    im playing sim city 4 till sim city 5 comes out

  • fuck ya i was so pissed when i found out this shity company was replacing maxis

  • this company is replacing maxis!!?

    are you serious!?

  • so this game is not worth buying?

  • I think most people complaining do not have the system to run this. Looks like you need allot of ram and a good processor. This hatred is from EA games buying the rights to the Sims games.

    You wanna get pissed of buy Myst a "" education sim game.

  • trust me, play sim city 4 untill sim city 5 comes out!

    thats what i'm doing

  • I have not played this, so I can't judge on those grounds but all the ideas mentioned in this video seem like random and arbitrary bullshit. You can only have one of a certain building in your city?! Tell that to London, New York or Tokyo! Hawaiian shirt day because you built a certain building?! FTW?! Tycoons or Tourists?! WHAT?!!? =O

  • this game sucks balls! sim city 4 is the best! or city life!

  • In this sin city, is there also tsunami?

  • its an OK game, thats it..... i was very disappointed at the view options.. i mean, if you are copying CityLife, at least make the viewing options better. For example, in Simcity Societies you cant have a wider view of the city, nor a view from the point of view of a Sim... Just put the "sim" view option by clicking the wheel!!! the only thing that the game does by clicking the wheel is to pan the viewing area, which is repeating the same thing as moving the pointer to the edge of the screen

  • rachel bernstien you need to fuck off and get a person who knows how to make a decent simcity game take your job

  • I love this game, it should in no way be a SimCity game, but it's still a decent game...

  • n entendo ingles mais ela fala bem o.O

  • Too many bugs, keeps crashing!!!

    Not enough options, like why cant i drive around in my city! I cant even zoom out enough to see my city!!!

  • Hahahahahaha oohh man your reply is soo funny

  • Another f-in EA game that is released with massive bugs... I have a pretty good system and of course the game crashes constantly anyway.

  • Actually they ruined the old system. Watch the review by X-Play I uploaded.

  • the game is cool but the thing i don't understand is why they didn't do it for mac also , i mean it's stupid doing it only for windows...

  • that's because it's a computer game, not a console game

  • Wow, you make money... to bad she has money set to unlimitid

  • i love this game i just got it i also got sim City 4 with rushhour

  • Hmmmmm is this any good? It looks cool and I kinda want to get it but is it worth buying?

  • Not really. It's boring kinda.
