IGN: SimCity Societies: Destinations Review
Expansion reviews can sometimes be a bit predictable. In 90-percent of cases you can predict that you’ll like or hate the expansion based on whether you like or hate the core game. But SimCity Societies: Destinations is a bit different. While it doesn’t address the arbitrary nature (and seeming irrelevance) of the social energies that forms the core gameplay, it finally adds some focus and direction to the game with an entirely new traveler mechanic. Now instead of simply plopping buildings down according to their energy impact, you’ll need to consider how each new building can attract and serve the new coffer-boosting vacationers.
