The editors liked

  • All the clever fun of SimCity with less difficulty.
  • Complex without being arcane or obscure
  • SimCity is a great introduction to the genre. Watching a well-planned city run on its own is satisfying and rewarding.

The editors didn't like

  • Controls arent precise
  • Rarely have characters been this ugly.
  • Empty regions make SimCity’s heavy use of multiplayer annoying
  • And a flicker in Internet connection will lead to lost progress and wasted time. Busy menus are a chore to navigate for the first few hours.

  • An all too brief look at an all too addictive game...

  • Abstract:  And on the sixth day, God created a city of the future (while he was commuting to work on the train). And God saw everything that he had made, and it was good. Ye gods, SimCity is back. And now you can take it anywhere you go, sculpting a huge me...

  • Accessible city-building with excellent tutorials, Absorbing gameplay with bags of depth and detail, Impressive graphics breath new life into the city
  • Odd Sim and traffic behaviour makes life awkward, Multiplayer-focus has its downsides, Need for online connection causes issues
  • SimCity is a great addition to the Sims portfolio that balances accessibility with rich detail, pace and sheer entertainment. Unfortunately though, SimCity is also constrained by its unyielding focus on online multiplayer; limiting the amount of space ava...

  • Addictive, easy to play
  • news for fans whove managed to wean themselves off the game first released in the early-90s, is that its back, but this time for the ultra portable Nintendo DS. So has the charm of the first outing remained? We get playing to find out. SimCity is ver...
  • SimCity DS is great fun and the fact that its now mobile means you can sit on the sofa rather than sitting in front of your PC building cities

  • A pesar de que el nuevo SimCity ha llegado de una forma muy pasiva y de cierto modo incompleta, la capacidad de atracción al jugador es alta. Es cierto que al principio puede resultar algo dificultoso pero en cuanto se coge el ritmo es un juego que acaba...

  • Des dizaines, voire centaines d'heures de jeu, Le plaisir de voir ses villes se développer, Jeu communautaire entre plusieurs villes, Réalisation graphique satisfaisante, Interface bien pensée, Mécanismes de jeu et moteur de simulation solides
  • Connexion Internet permanente obligatoire , Sauvegardes automatiques et en ligne uniquement, Villes bien trop petites, on arrive très vite aux limites, Manque d'objectifs et de réels défis, Pas d'outils de modification du terrain, Trop de bugs
  • Malgré notre enthousiasme, ce cinquième SimCity n'est pas passé loin des deux étoiles en raison de limitations et surtout de problèmes techniques qui noircissent sérieusement l'expérience de jeu. Les développeurs mettent heureusement leur jeu à jour régul...

  • Abstract:  Das Tolle an "SimCity": Es bedarf keiner großen Einarbeitung, um ein kleines ansehnliches Städtchen in eine Landschaft nach Wahl zu zimmern. Die meisten Bedienelemente erklären sich von selbst. Möchte man jedoch nachhaltig Erfolg haben, wird's kompliziert...

  • Wenn man den Ärger um den vergeigten Verkaufsstart, der böse Erinnerungen an Diablo III weckt, ausklammert, macht SimCity eine ziemlich gute Figur. Maxis versteht es beinahe virtuos, Neulinge zu gewinnen und gleichzeitig Profis anzusprechen. Die Wirtschaf...

  • Abstract:  Ein Wright-Klassiker 1989 erschuf das Entwicklungsstudio Maxis nicht zuletzt dank der kreativen Ideen des Designers Will Wright einen echten Klassiker. In diesem Jahr erschien erstmals die Städtebausimulation „Sim City“. Zunächst wurde der Titel für P...
