    Startling realism

    The most versatile city-building game.
    Combine and connect elements of your city like never before with the ultimate building block tool kit. This innovative, modular approach to city-building makes SimCity Societies accessible to players of all levels, while still providing tremendous new possibilities to veteran players of the SimCity™ series.

    Shape your city through its values and priorities.
    More than just a city-building simulator, SimCity Societies puts you in the new role of social engineer. Mix and match six "social energies"—productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, authority, and knowledge—to determine the core attributes that will be reflected in the infrastructure of your city as well as in its people. After you plant these seeds you'll witness the evolution of your city as everything from its physical appearance to the sounds heard on its streets adapt to reflect these values.

    Build unique homes, workplaces, leisure-time venues, and parks.
    Choose from more than 500 unique objects which can be combined and connected in almost limitless combinations. Take inspiration from a variety of architectural styles, ranging from the realistic to the fanciful, rural to urban, industrial to futuristic. And with only a fraction of the available buildings and associated object types unlocked at the game's beginning the possible combinations will only grow as you delve deeper into the game and advance your society.

    Share your creations with your friends online.
    The most customizable SimCity™ ever created, SimCity Societies not only allows you to modify almost everything in the game, from the buildings, decorations, citizens and rule sets, it also allows you share these with friends online.

    2 out of 5 stars Not for me, looks expansive though   November 19, 2008
    N. Morse (Kalamazoo, Mi)
    I'm not a sim fan, but I thought I would give this a try. FYI if it detects CD emulation software it won't run (yeah, just detecting it, not even running the game from emulation). If your looking for creative games with no point, this maybe for you.


    4 out of 5 stars Fun times   September 29, 2008
    The Goddess (Planet Earth)
    It's a good little game and has lots of replay value. It arrived in good shape, worked great, and I was creating cities in no time at all. It gets a little repetitive after a while, and I lost interest pretty quickly.


    1 out of 5 stars Watered down and pointless   September 14, 2008

    This is a very disappointing game - it is extremely watered down compared to the previous games in the franchise and becomes pointless after a few hours.


    1 out of 5 stars A huge disappointment ... the era of fun sim games is over   September 14, 2008

    I ordered Sim City Societies, in advance, about year ago for $49.
    I had been looking forward to a new version of Sim City for a long time because I was a fan of the Sim City Classic and Sim City 2000.

    The installation was a pain. When I finally got it working, I was disappointed because this game was geared to making a play city instead of exploring the problem of how cities should be organized. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm interested in urban planning.

    Thumbs down on this game!





    3 out of 5 stars Sim Societies Review   August 14, 2008
    Daniel Ramos Espiritu
    I think this is easier than Sim City 4, but too easy that some of the excitement disappeared. It is also less simulative of real city processes as Sim City 4.

    They should just have refined Sim City 4 by including export economies, import and export, banking, stock market, etc... as sort of a mixture of Sim City 4 and Capitalism Plus.
