 The Best Sim City Package Yet! August 26, 2008

I have enjoyed this package from day one and can barely stop playing it! It has so many different things to do, it's a load of fun. Especially if you can get everyone in the family hooked on playing it as well! I am very pleased with my products from Amazon.com. Thanks!

Not too many surprises with the gameplay. If you have ever played it before it is very similar - just expanded.
 Could not even install... July 31, 2008

The installation went through after 30 mins or so but it failed to start the game. After installing the patch provided by EA (patch ver 5), the situation was even worse and I was asked me to un-install and re-install the whole game. My PC has met the hardware requirement and I still don't know the cause of the problem. After googling it I found many people have encountered the similar issue.
Disappointed in EA with this July 31, 2008

I was eagerly awaiting the Destinations expansion and this is how they do it!? I have Societies already, I have SimCity 4 and all expansions, no interest at all in SnapCity and WE got the Spore trial for free online. So I'm supposed to pay practically what it cost to buy the base game just to get an expansion!? My only other option is to digitally download the expansion from EA's store. Nope sorry, I'm not paying money to not have a disk of the game. This is very disappointing!
 A great game collection! July 28, 2008

The SimCity Box features:
SimCity 4: The best game in the collection, SimCity 4 is the 4th in a line of city-building simulations (and a TRIAL of Spore Creature Creator) which has amused fans for about a decade (I think). You simply zone resedential, commercial, and industrial zones, Then connect them to bring power, e.t.c. but you also need to balance your budget, gain happiness, and improve your mayor rating!
SimCity 4: Rush Hour Expansion Pack: An expansion pack that adds new roads, highways, ferries, and such. It also adds U-Drive-It, where you can drive, fly, and boat across town! Not much else to say.
SimCity Societies: A different game than SC4, it isn't made by Maxis, but instead Tilted Mills ( The In-game description of the windmill is "Some say this mill is tilted.") Instead of all the stuff in SC4, in it you place buildings individually, don't worry about power lines, or water pipes. As a side effect of the missing features it can become bland and repetitive. It does however add Social Values, which buildings consume or produce.
SimCity Societies Destinations: The (as I write this) newest SimCity game. It allows you to attract tourists to visit your city, introduces new buildings and landmarks, and a couple of other things.
Spore Creature Creator Trial Edition: It is not SimCity but it is also very good. You can add Mouths, Sensory Organs, Limbs, Graspers, Feet, Weapons, and Details. You can then size an morph parts for (almost) Endless possibilities.
THIS IS A TRIAL! It only contains SOME pieces! The Spore Creature Creator is available for U.S. $10.00.
Snap City: I haven't actually downloaded this do to poor reviews, but I hear it is part of The Sims franchise (also by Maxis) that spoofs SimCity and it is also similiar to tetris. By, Beth Smiths Grandson CJ.
