High Society Review

While reading the “High Society”, which touches base on the makeover of the SimCity franchise, I noticed in the two-page picture that begins the feature that, of the six cars shown, there are only three unique designs. Are we yet again going to have to endure the monotony of such a small variety of models in this redesign? I ask not that every car ever designed be modeled, but that perhaps each model be rendered in a full spectrum of colors (of course, 50 percent of these would be silver to reflect the American market).

Also, I believe that Scott Sharkey’s picture in the Review Crew lineup was mistakenly replaced with one of a young Charles Manson.

Review Love. Review Hate

What is with the 7-outof-10 rating for SimCity Societies? First, throw out the fact that it destroys one of the most entertaining and fulfilling franchises in gaming history Second, it doesn’t deliver what it promised: The city’s atmosphere does not react from what you build. Instead, what’s built is built, in what’s basically a sandbox mode

So we have a game that’s robbed of all of what gave SimCity its greatness: The cities don’t grow, and there’s no challenge. It’s like Zoo Tycoon without the animals, and by no means from every standpoint is Zoo Tycoon this bad (even if it had no animals). Your review was plain idiocy.
