Whats Missing In Socities When Compared to Sim City

[mr_martz 0]

Hello All from Downunder

Iam new to this site, have been a Sim City player for a long time i got addicted to it in Highschool there was one PC in the computer labs that had Sim City 2000 installed since than i have played Sim City 4 and Rush Hour and can never get enough.

So  now heres my question I have already bought Sim City Socities however after reading review after review i refuse to open the shrink warp on the box untill i get some questions answered?

They are as follows

I know in terms of transport there are buses, trains but are there Airports and Seaports?

Are there diasters?. Just like a kid when you build a city you get that urge to knock it down. If someone could also tell what kind of disasters are on offer in sim city socities?.

What happened to landmarks are they still there?

Can you still drive vechiles like rush hour or control police ambulances and fire engines.

Can you customise your terrian i think i read somewhere you can't but i prefer to hear it again?

if someone can help me it would be great , before i return the game back.

No

Are there diasters?

yes, a few but nothing like simcity....I think SCS's are weak

What happened to landmarks are they still there?

no

Can you still drive vechiles like rush hour or control police ambulances and fire engines.

no

Can you customise your terrian i think i read somewhere you can't but i prefer to hear it again?

You can color the ground but you can not move the ground...at least I could not find a way not even when you try to plop a building on uneven ground...it just doesn't let you.

I would take the game back...there are so many other good games right now...I'm not sure what it will be like but city life 08 should be out soon. If that's your cup of tea

Thanks acoomer , i have alot of games to buy this holiday season. I will wait till the demo comes out to give it a go, its a shame how a city can't have zones, airports, seaports, to much repetitivity Iam joining the annoyed crowd.

I only hope that one day this will be fixed in a expansion.

Societies isn't a SimCity game, it's another gameplay !

I wish a real SimCity 5 will be realized when Spore will be released and Societies will become a new serie !

i bought the game and its a great disapointment, even the navigition is pathetic, you have to move your mouse to the edge of the screen to move and it always loses control, also the zoom is bad you can only see a small section of your city on the screen DON'T BUY IT, IM GONNA TRY AND RETURN IT lol wish me luck!!
