I dunno... It seems legit.. But playing it offline feels like your getting a bootleg version of the game then, seeing the games' main feature is suppose to be sharing the same map with a friend and build your city and his side by side exchanging favors between one another.

Feels like the bootleg version?

You must not have played Sim City games before.

Sim City is a SINGLE player game.

Now if they wanted to OFFER multiplayer for a new experience, then great.

But NO it isn't the 'main feature' of the game. The main feature was supposed to be...."new singleplayer game of the well known and loved franchise....Sim City".

The thing is the LIES we've been fed, it works, it's one bloody line of code and EA/Maxis won't do what you can do in 2 seconds until they're ready!

You are either sort of young or very old and have memory issues.

Besides the internet can go down for various reasons.

Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.

Gaming1012437d ago

Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.

indysurfn2437d ago

Wow kudos EA! no one can kill a franchisee like you can kill a franchises.

lptmg2437d ago

Sadly, Rock Band died because of Activision shoving one Guitar Hero every 3 months

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2437d ago

chrono12052437d ago

Or a reboot, with all the fun of the first one.

showtimefolks2437d ago

i agree i had a great time with the 1st game and a good time with the sequel

PhoenixUp2437d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
