First look into SimCity

[Dark Light 0]

I don't usually make topics or comments, but I was suggested. So here it is...

 

Yesterday, I bought SimCity. The New SimCity. I've played SimCity Games in the past. The first one I played was SNES version of SimCity. Then i went on to SimCity Creator. Then bought the SimCity Box. I got to play SimCity 4 and SimCity Societies. I even made my own paper version of SimCity. Mostly I had good experiences on all. I liked all of them. Then at E3 2011, I heard EA was making a new SimCity. I was excited to see another Game. My Grandma was afraid that it wouldn't run good on her pc. But I got it and it ran PERFECTLY. I had really no problem with it. Though Origin it said that I needed atleast 12 GB of HD space. I downloaded roughly 275mb. I was surprised. BUT then came updating. I had to restart the process at least 3 times. Then opened the game. 

 

I was surprised. I just didn't need a tutorial... that took a long time for me to get out of a tutorial. I enjoyed designing. the thing that turned me off from the beginning was online. But I saw the vision EA wanted it. I think when I knew why, I enjoyed it but I wish that there would be separate modes like "Online Play" and "Single Play." I made a town. I liked upgrading. It took me several moments how buildings upgrade, how to roads upgrade roads. That should of been more easier. In the past, I'm so used to having a low-wealth, med-wealth, and high-wealth zones. I guess i'll miss that. Then I created 2 new towns in my private region. I'm doing well. I wish that transferring Electricity, water, and Garbage were easier. Overall, my first experience were a 6/10. It could of been better. The game is good. I just wish that it'll get an awesome expansion pack like SC4's RushHour. The expansion with Cities of the Future has no interest with me. I'm not a futuristic person. I like modern things.

SimCity is a good game with good potential. And with update 10 coming about (includes offline mode), I think the game will be ten times better than it originally was and I've played SimCity games since SimCity 4 came out. Not too long, but it's enough for me to get involved with the franchise.

If their is no change in commuting the new update might destroy the game itself in offline mode. I beleave commuting has to changed, no matter if online or offline. It simply is nearly impossible to play that game with 15 people at the same time to build up a rci region. Commuting should also work, if the mayor of the other cities are not online!
