SimCity is a city-building and
urban planning simulation video game developed by Maxis, a subsidiary of
Electronic Arts. Released for Microsoft Windows in early March 2013, it is the
first major installment in the SimCity series since the release of SimCity 4 a
decade prior. This new SimCity delivers unprecedented depth of simulation. The
model-like world and detail of the simulation make this the most responsive and
personal SimCity ever. This is also the most expansive city management game yet
where you can control a region that delivers true multi-city scale and play a
single city or up to 16 cities at once each with different specializations. Multiplayer
is also a first for the series, which adds a new dimension to your game as your
decisions impact both your city and your region and creates new ways to play by
collaborating or competing to earn achievements. Finally, SimCity is a live
service that simulates real time updates from new challenges to new features
and content.
The game is considered to be a
reboot of the SimCity series. Players can create a settlement that can grow
into a city by zoning land for commercial, industrial, or residential
development, as well as building and maintaining public services, transport and
utilities. SimCity utilizes a new engine called GlassBox, allowing for more
detailed simulation than previous games. Throughout its development, SimCity
received critical acclaim for its new engine and reimagined gameplay; however,
publications cautioned the game's use of a persistent internet connection, with
which it stores saved games and allows players to share resources.
Even though at this moment of
writing, there are a lot of bugs haunting this game, it is still a great game
nonetheless given the possibilities and the amount of fun and stuffs you can do
with your friends. EA promises a better quality of life to the players in the
near future as they roll out more patches.
