The SimCity Box - PC

This is the one you've been waiting for. If you haven't already got SC4 or SCS, here's your chance to get both of them, plus the Destinations EP for SCS and Spore Creature Creator, all in one box for one low price. What's not to like? Personally, I wanted SC4 so I could use it to create some terrains for Sims 2, so I didn't think I'd ever even play the game, but now that I have, it's pretty good and a great way to waste some time. SCS is very pretty, the graphics are nice, and the pace is very laid back. I find it very relaxing to play. I'm not a typical 'gamer' though and have never liked games that you have to play to win. For me, it's all about the playing. Destinations didn't add that much to the game, IMO, and I would never have bought it if it hadn't come packaged together. But with the price of this game, there is no way to complain.

I like this game because its not expensive and it came with 3 games. Also it will work on Vista as I have vista and it worked fine. If you like to create in your games then you will like this. it is best to have a computer with at very least 2 gigs ram or better or else it can get pretty slow when your trying to create anything or move to another part of your map.

I loved the original Sim City and I thought Sim City 2000 was probably one of the best games for the PC ever... I also had Sim City 3000 which is where the buggy interface started detracting from the gameplay and I had Sim City 4 back when it originally came out and the game was basically unplayable. I had hoped after many years without thinking about it that they'd have 'fixed' the game but they haven't...Sim City 4 Deluxe is too buggy to play... I had it on for just an hour or so and the game just closed, no warning, no opportunity to save... even during play setting up roads and water pipes aren't fun because things just don't work like they should- To get roads and highways to connect like you want is a real pain- this is a GAME it's supposed to be FUN- don't tell me these roads don't fit together- just MAKE THEM FIT... the same with rewards and special items like the Marina- it takes forever to find a suitable spot to place these things- once again- let me place them and let the game deal with whatever is has to to make them fit.Worse then the play options was the setting up of the game... It takes 2 discs to install - the second disc however was bad/blank... my computers couldn't see ANY data on the disc and the install wouldn't complete- I had to borrow the 2nd disc from someone else to complete the install- if I didn't know someone with it I'd be out of luck.Everything about this box is annoying like this... avoid it- this isn't the Sim City you remember. :(Also laptop users- FYI- the outside of the box says that laptop video cards (even if they meet the 128 MB memory requirement) are NOT SUPPORTED- they may work, they may not and if they don't the publisher doesn't want to hear about it- so don't waste your money or time if you planned to use this on a laptop.

RE: SimCity SocietiesGreetings 8)Excellent program you've made here, Tilted Mill.SimCity Societies is FUN 8)I can play for just a few minutes, or I can play for hours.Either way, the time spent is fun, lively, and refreshing.I am reminded of going from Railroad Tycoon 3 to Sid Meier's Railroads ...... a bit of a shock to the system but well worth the change.SimCity 4/Rush Hour was starting to feel like work and not play.Thank you, for putting PLAY back into the game 8)

Simcity 4+ Rush Hour= The best in the series. its difficult. its fun. its addictive!I can make cities with 50000 sims+ before i hit the ceiling and they all leave. its pretty difficult.you can set taxes, get presents, listen to your advisors complain to you every 5 seconds. but its worth it.beware though, as your city gets bigger, dont expect no lagging.Snap City- No comment :(.Simcity Societies+ Destinations= Meh. Its ALOT easier then simcity 4 and it removes alot of the features, but the good greaphics and new features make up for it. unfortunatly, like simcity 4. if your city is big/ sort of big with lots of building and people, dont expect no lagging unless your using an intel i7 unlike me with my i4 -.-hope it helps, societies and 4 are fun. snap city isnt that much.

I've gone as far as installing Societies on a Virtual XP machine and it still fails. There is some old antiquated anti rip off software that just can't handle today's software. I'm pretty sure it is anti emulation anything being installed. I've tried removing the TM from the install folder name. Nothing works to get Societies to play. SimCity 4, plays just fine on the above mentioned system. I'm really disappointed in you EA for not providing a fix. Hell, you can't even get the latest update from their site due to a broken link.

I've always enjoyed the SimCity line of games. I was looking forward to this pack and playing the new additions and upgrades to the older versions I have. The dissappointing thing is that half of the games in this pack won't even install. And the Sim City Game itself won't launch. The only way I've been able to play it so far is to uninstall and then re-install the game. It autolaunches after installation. It won't launch from a shortcut, or from the .exe file on the disk. I enjoyed playing it the two times I was actually able to get into it, but by and large this was a very disappointing purchase.

beaucoup de plaisir au début mais un peu facile après un certain temps

Over the years I got too busy to play Sim games. This box set provided my favorite games and I had no problem with the disks.

The game itself is amazing BUT cannot play sim City 4 on my Windows 7 ... Really miss it!!!Not though that Sim City Destinations plays well with Windows 7
