SimCity Complete Edition - Origin PC [Online Game Code]

Now that all the issues at launch are in the past (You can get a grip of what happened by googling it) it's safe to make an objective review of the actual game. This installment of the franchise is a step-up from the origins of the game while sticking true to its roots. You can do almost the same things you did in the previous games but much more. The first important thing is that you do not control only one city, you control a region; which means that if you do not have jobs in your city, people will move to the next one. If you have spare firetrucks, you could "rent" them to other cities to help them. In addition there is a "regional" economy, meaning that each city may be able to extract resources and sell them in a regional market. You can do all of this in the single player mode or also multiplayer. In terms of difficulty people who played the game will quickly catch up, newcomers will find it a little bit daunting as the customization is big. Another important thing... FREE STREET DESIGN OH YEAH! No more sticking to squares! you can build a dynamic city!!! That's the best improvement in the franchise because it allows you to make pretty different cities to one another. The expansions are a great addition but honestly do not change the game. I'd say that the city culture pack is a great addition to knock yourself out with your traveller experiences and build a Paris of your own (which you can actually do with some work). Overall is a great game for simulators loving people. Get it!

After about 3 days, this game was basically rendered useless. After building about 3 cities, the game was unable to load any of them, or even start a new one, making it totally unplayable. Attempts to contact EA's support were futile. I was only able to reach representatives via chat with a very poor grasp of the English language, frequently simply referred me to help pages on EA's website (as well as a few links to pages that didn't even exist), and they were agonizingly slow to respond even, even to simple things like confirmations that I had followed an instruction, I'd still have to wait like 5 minutes just to find out what to click next. Even after going through this non-sense, the issue was not resolved. After investing several hours in this game, it's all lost. Even if the game were to be fixed, there's no way I could trust a game like this that requires several hours of play to even reach all of the content, yet that is also so volatile that any time you close the game, you do so knowing that you may never see that city that you built again. Very disappointing because while I could play it, I found the game to actually be quite good. But it fails at the most basic and essential task: simply working at all. It's basically fraud; you pay for this game, with the distinct possibility that you will some day be totally unable to play it (for me, that day was day four of owning it). For that, this game doesn't even merit one star. Amazon needs an option to give it 4 class action lawsuits out of 5 instead. That's the rating it deserves.

Need a refund. This software is not compatible with Windows 10. I can not down the software. Tom Witt

But what else should it be? I used to play the original Sim City (and the original Sims) all night and then have to work the next morning. To this day I can still hear their music in my head LOL. The game is enjoyable enough, but it becomes infinitely so once you get into mods. I can have whole cities of mega towers (many, many more than the originally allowed eight). I haven't really ventured into online play, though, it just seems wrong for this game IMO.

I bought the game since the price was now $15, but still feel like I was ripped off at that price. I have had just about every iteration of SimCity since it came out, I'd rather play SimCity Societies over this game (and I hated that one too). I didn't realize that buying this version meant you only could play the expansion version and would not be able to uninstall just that part. I thought I would have a problem with the future buildings, but couldn't even get to that part in the game due to crashing issues. You've heard about the small city borders, and all the other junk that made this game horrible. But none of that affected me because I can't play the game more than 5 minutes w/o it completely taking down my machine... My system is 4x higher than the requirements for this game, but the game still crashes, and when it crashes it REALLY crashes. Forget just having the game crash and going back to the desktop screen. No, the game actually takes down the entire system. The screen goes black and the computer reboots, then it locks up after the reboot, so I have to turn the computer off and on again to reboot a 2nd time, then get the popup "Windows just recovered from a serious error" So in the end, I didn't get to experience the horribleness of this game due to it's crashing issues. I am just going to consider the money I spent a donation to EA in the hopes that they will develop the SimCity that people actually want...

I will say this I am glad I bought at a cheap price and this long in the game life. Been playing this game for a bit and it is not as good as SimCity 3000 in my view but close. The area to build is small but you get mega tower's, which in my view kind of reminds me of the towers you can get in SimCity 2000. The online I have not played much because the damn game keeps pausing but I think that is because I ran out of money quick as I was building. Still going have to learn the online side of it. Would be nice if I have a friend that did play this so we can both help each other. The review I been reading on Amazon is right on the money in all the points. This game could be a lot better. The size could of been huge but for some reason Maxis went this way. I like it so far. Not the greatest SimCity game but it will work until the next one if they will ever make one.

Can’t wait to play it again.

Junk. Every time I play it doesn't save my game. I played for 3 hours and kept saving my game. The game is supposed to be able to play offline, then I get kicked out saying I lost Internet connection with Origin which is required to play. Then I see I am still connected. Log back in to the game and there are no saved files. Start a new game and at 3 hours same thing happens. what a waste of time and money. I would imagine all origin games Are the same. Also the settings do not save, so every time you start a new game you have to change from 1999 graphics. Also the bulldozer glitches out and deletes whole sections of your city. A lot of the things it deletes are expensive. Also dlc packs are locked until a couple hours into the game. I was hoping to bring back good memories of simcity. very disappointed. And there are no refunds because I bought it through Amazon. :(
