SimCity Review | Game Over Online

Game Over Online: "With all of its simulation technology, SimCity is clearly having a ball managing all the data. But none of that translates into player fun. Instead we have a steaming mess of pathetic visuals, broken simulation management, and predictably infuriating forced online requirements. Ultimately, when compared to other city-building games, even the decade-old Simcity 4, Maxis set the bar low and failed to clear even that. At least they gave me Mass Effect 3 for free in apology. Wait, it can’t import my ME2 character’s face correctly? You’ve got to be kidding me! Well, at least I can unhesitantly uninstall Origin; I’ll take the small victories where I can get them."

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.

Gaming1012819d 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.

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

lptmg2818d ago

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

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2819d ago

chrono12052819d ago

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

showtimefolks2818d ago

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

PhoenixUp2819d 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!
