I've been looking for a good Sim City type game since Sim Coty Deluxe although with EA's track record, I'm not too optimistic. Zevious Zoquis Well-Known Member Sep 20, 2010 957 0 0 Canada #5 Zevious Zoquis, Oct 23, 2014 A slightly updated version of Simcity Classic would be brilliant on the iphone/ipad. I don't know why they don't do that... stlredbird Well-Known Member May 21, 2009 1,354 0 36 #6 stlredbird, Oct 23, 2014 EA. I'm sure it's terrible. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. jn2002dk Well-Known Member May 22, 2009 433 1 0 Denmark #7 jn2002dk, Oct 23, 2014 Same While i know that it's most likely another freemium piece of thrash i'm hoping so much this is one of the times where they surprise us Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #8 Drucifer, Oct 23, 2014 Let's see how EA manages to screw this one up. zeratulo Well-Known Member Mar 29, 2014 127 0 0 #9 zeratulo, Oct 23, 2014 Trading goods with friends makes it sound like all the other crappy city building games. rangent Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2009 101 1 18 #10 rangent, Oct 23, 2014 I'm sort of curious how far this game would have got if it didn't have EA listed as the producer, or "Sim City" anywhere in the title.

I mean, it all depends on how you stand on the ol' F2P thing. Almost all the city builders I've played in the past couple years are the pretty much the same. Free to play, timers, dual currency, ect. lol, why would this one be any different? It's the usual, wait for stuff to build, make supplies, use supplies for building more buildings, rinse and repeat. I will say that this is the best looking city builder I've played by far. The ability to see everything from any view is a welcome change. Right now nothing is too expensive and timers aren't more than 5 minutes. I'm sure that will change though. I'd say if you're into city builders and have a NZ account, it's definitly worth a try. RoboWarrior Well-Known Member Oct 3, 2012 658 0 16 #13 RoboWarrior, Oct 23, 2014 I think it not the FTP that's the problem. SimCity is about experimenting and building a city with imagination, in essence the entirety of "God Game" genre that EA was used to be known for. The problem with FTP is the fact one cannot do this. Experimentation isn't possible or you'll be losing important money for upgrades. At this point the game becomes tedious and no longer part of the "God game" genre that SimCity was known for. I know when I played SimCity I had fun blowing stuff and changing layout for the fun of it. You cannot do this without consequences and those consequences aren't fun. This essentially is another Clash of Clans with new graphic engine and natural disasters that nobody wants since it might caused them to spend a few of those precious premium gems. redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #14 redribbon, Oct 23, 2014 The Gameplay: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel F34R Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2012 840 1 18 #15 F34R, Oct 24, 2014 Was really hoping this would be just a mobile port of the PC game. Ugh. I'm not getting into another farm resources, wait timer, game. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #16 NOEN, Oct 25, 2014 Yea, that's pretty much what it's turning into. Like all of these games, at first I was building all kinds of stuff. I thought EA maybe had a change of heart or something, then after the first hour or so once I had all my factories up and running and my buildings were getting bigger, they started needing resources that take hours to make and then...........the money first given to you runs dry. I'm making a couple hundred dollars a day in taxes and everything I need is in the thousands. It's still one if the best looking city builders I've played on my phone, but it looks like it's gonna be a lot of waiting. I'll stick it out for a few more days and see how it plays out, but it's looking pretty grim right now. Xexist Well-Known Member May 6, 2010 2,440 1 0 Canada #17 Xexist, Oct 25, 2014 I wonder if this is going to be fun with a fair IAP implementation. HAHAHAHA just kidding. F34R Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2012 840 1 18 #18 F34R, Oct 25, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I might download it and give it a try, but it doesn't sound good from your point of view. quebecotr Well-Known Member Jun 5, 2010 841 0 16 Male Retired teacher Milwaukee, WI #19 quebecotr, Oct 25, 2014 Not even going to start this. Why waste time and effort just to hit the pay wall in a few plays. This could have been excellent, but it looks like another cash-grabbing piece of garbage. How the mighty EA has fallen ! I remember, lo these many years ago, when the EA logo was a sign of quality and integrity. Now ? Nothing but craptastic junk. Really a sad state of affairs.
