What kind of future will you build for your city? Will you create a utopian society underpinned by clean technology, or allow a giant corporation to plunder and pollute in the name of feeding your Sims' insatiable consumerism? In addition to expanding outward, cities will have the ability to build into the sky with enormous multi-zone MegaTowers. Education and research will help you discover new technologies that make your cities less polluted, less reliant on natural resources, managed day-to-day by service drones, and as a byproduct.
At risk for resource-draining giant robot attacks on your city As the population increases, your Sims will live, work, and play closer together. Whether they do so in harmony and prosperity or as members of an exploited workforce is up to you. Requires SimCity base game to play.
Pros :
- New "Blade Runner by way of Coruscant" graphics take the game into the future
- Multipurpose MegaTowers are innovative, if also wildly expensive and huge
Cons :
- Does very little to address core problems with the SimCity design
- Cities are far too small for the new structures, most of which have massive footprints
- High-tech nature of new buildings can strain your budget to the breaking point
