REVIEW: Paul Turner reviews Sim City on PC
SIM CITY REVIEW
What's good: IT may have been a disastrous launch with clogged up servers and angry gamers, but when I finally got to play this game, it was all I expected and more. EA and Maxis have served up a gaming classic, no doubt. And with the problems seemingly now resolved, the task has begun of building cities to stand the test of time - along with meteor showers, earthquakes and tornadoes. You build your city from scratch, creating residential, commercial and industrial zones, along with all the services you might expect of a big city. But being mayor is no easy task. You will have to manage taxes, grumpy citizens and even marauding beasts. Online, you can share resources with other cities in your region and even create great wonders. There is just too much to mention about this game in this space. Suffice to say, it may well take over your life.

“If it was "all you expected and more", then you obviously have never played Sim City 4, Sim City 3000 or the original Sim City. The new Sim City is everything the fans never wanted.”
