About this product

Product Information

The series that created a simulation empire returns to once again let gamers build, manage, and possibly even destroy their own cities in SimCity. This release comes with up-to-date 3D visuals, an entirely new simulation engine, the ability to manage up to 16 cities simultaneously, and multiplayer options. As always, players attempt to grow their quiet burg into a thriving metropolis by zoning for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, balancing revenues and expenditures, and keeping track of relevant data such as crime, employment, education, and pollution.<br><br>The new GlassBox game engine was designed to simulate everything in the cities, from water flowing through pipes and fire spreading realistically, to individual Sims working, purchasing goods, and getting stuck in traffic. Cities can be specialized like never before, allowing gamers to create a college town full of schools and museums, or an entertainment hub packed with casinos and excitement. Industries, and even specific buildings, now have much more influence over the surrounding areas, with colleges turning nearby homes into frat houses, and coal mines resulting in local factories. Buildings like fire stations and hospitals can also be upgraded to serve more Sims in a quicker manner.<br><br>SimCity has done away with its staple of Light, Medium, and Heavy zoning in favor of a new system in which population density is directly tied to the city's roads. Low-density areas are likely to spring up around dirt roads, while six-lane avenues may produce large businesses and high-rise condos. The game also includes a variety of new road tools that allow players to create streets that curve and wind as much as they please. New data visualization features replace the franchise's traditional charts and graphs, and are designed to give gamers a clearer picture of how to manage their resources and address problem zones.<br><br>Multiplayer in SimCity takes on something of an MMO feel, with all user-designed cities and regions existing within the larger SimCity World. Gamers must maintain a connection to EA's Origin digital service, through which they can compete with friends to earn top scores and achievements, participate in global challenges, and receive automatic updates and extra missions. Players can also team up to create Great Works, like massive arcologies and space centers, or they can try to damage one another by exporting crime and pollution. However, cities have finite resources, and an in-game global market is designed to create realistic supply and demand, so playing pranks on neighbors may make them think twice about being helpful in the future.<br><br><! -- PC -- >

    Good game for $10

    Before purchasing I read a lot of reviews by other users and asked several questions of the seller. I was concerned about running on Windows 10. Some users had problems with that. Anyway, since it was only $10 I decided to give it a shot. It runs well! I had the first SimCity 'way back when" and liked playing it. This is obviously a big improvement. It is also a nice change of pace from the "shooters" I like to play. When installing I got a message that my graphics card may not be good enough. Seriously? This game came out 5 years ago and I have a new computer with an excellent processor and graphics card. IT worked, the graphics are fine! I like the fact that I can play this game offline. Originally it could only be played online. Hint: if playing single player mode build your first city ...

    Okay but nothing to keep your playing

    I bought this knowing I have enjoyed SimCity in the past. I like that you can play online with others however it seems that you run into problems all the time. Either I run out of room to continue to build or I keep getting told I don't have enough works for my town. Also there were times when all I could do was sit and wait for my money to slowly add up so I could build something I needed. The game is not as fun as I was expecting as I get bored with it and find that I am just sitting and waiting instead of actually playing.

    Didn't go to waste even though it didn't work on my windows 10 computer

    SO I have a 9 yr old son that is really into electronics, as an infant he slept with an old remote. At five he would help me build computers and I taught him how to format and install and OS. Now he does it like a pro on all of his own computers. He has an appreciation for what came before so he has a great collection of software and computer games. Sim city is his biggest collection of computer games. He has installed a version on every computer he has. I bough this one to put on my windows 10 computer but even though it installed it would not open. It did install on his windows 7 computer just fine and he was very excited about it. I was glad to find this new at such a great price.

    SimCity

    This is not like the original SimCity in which you really needed to use the bulldozer tool to work and level the area you want to build as well as make sure you place water pipes underground etc. It is probably more fun for someone who doesn't have the patience to actually build and configure and watch the city grow the hard way. There are plenty of cheats if you want to make it even easier. When you feel like goofing off or just doing something mindlessly, this game is for you. Better graphics than the old one despite the fact that it is less challenging than the old one.

    Had an initial problem

    When shipped the game code had already been used by someone else. I had to wait an extra few days to get the problem resolved. It did get resolved and I am satisfied with the product.
