Simcity - PC Game Review

Lets build a city... a mad city.

Simcity came out a few months ago, and lets just say its as if Facebook got their city game and spent a million pounds/dollars on it. Seriously, this game, I just cannot describe how awesome it really, REALLY is. So let us review!

First of all, you choose where you want to build your city. Ignore the name as you can change that once you have built a Town Hall. But try and keep it away from other peoples cities, as you don't know if theres a ton of crime there that might invade your city.

Then, you can build whatever! Of course, you need some sort of exit and entrance to your city if you want anyone living there at all. You need to build roads and make the land inside them residental if you want houses there, or you can make it for shops, or schools or whatever.

You will need five essential things if you don't want your city going to crap. Police Station, Fire Station, Water, Power Station and Garbage Dump with an extension on so they can burn the garbage. Your town in real life may not have them, but your city (Durham, New York, etc) will.

Theres also crime you need to tend to. It gives a realistic feel that you do, but theres a downside as crime can arrive from other cities. Which ANNOYS ME SO MUCH! So build about three Police Stations to start with, but keep about one or two if theres low crime. Also, build The Maxis Manor if crime is over running your city, it will help you a ton. But whatever you do, never build a V-Tower, as it will increase crime 75%.

Theres also fires, which can be dealt with. Just build a bunch of Fire Stations and if theres a place where fires are common, feel free to bulldoze a few houses to build a Fire Station, it will really help. I mean, the moral doesn't go down if you bulldoze houses.

Oh, and the morale. I feel it's very realistic, but lacks to take away happiness. No, I'm not a killjoy, but it won't go down if theres a fire, somebody is murdered or robbed, etc. But it will go down for things like higher tax, and each house is happier than another. Some people, however, are so miserable they'll abandon their homes!

Also, theres Natural Disasters that occur. Meteor Strikes, Tornadoes, etc. These are unpredictable and can destroy anything. Best rebuild them destroyed buildings if this happens, as theres no way to know if they're coming or protect your City.

So yeah, Simcity is a really good game. Go buy it, you shan't regret, as most top blogs about games are rating it 9.5 out of ten! What do I rate it, all you ask? A bit fat, sloppy juicy ten out of ten. It really is amazing and should be on Steam already!
