To recap
Almost every minute we’ve spent playing SimCity has been fun and enjoyable. The game, while flawed in many ways, is still a brilliant leap forward for God games, and the advances graphically and gameplay-wise in this game are brilliant. As a potential buyer, the online requirement, server capacity problems and game engine bugs might put you off, but we’ve loved our time with the game and so that’s what we’ve based our score on. Hopefully, Maxis can continue to improve the game, and in a few months the justifiable anger will have been addressed and we can all enjoy playing God
