SimCity Societies is not a terrible game, it’s simply different. SimCity Societies gives players the chance to build a capitalist democracy, an authoritarian dictatorship, a rural farming community, or a fantasy society, which is a nice change to the series. Although it may not allow you to build cities to the same scale as in SimCity 4, the general gameplay is still the same. You still build your Sims homes, jobsites, and industries. You still set up transportation networks, and you still get to create natural disasters. I’ve heard a number of people say SimCity Societies it too easy, which I tend to disagree with. If you set the game difficulty high enough, the game becomes quite challenging.

 

 

Each building will use or produce a certain amount of prosperity, authority, creativity, and more. if you fail to balance your use and production of these values, your society will collapse. I do, however have a few issues with SimCity Societies. The game’s framerate is terrible, which can ruin the experience. There is also not enough variety in buildings. I think EA had a great idea, however some of those ideas were poorly executed.
