Are the reviews true? Did EA destroy the Sim City franchise in the same manner they destroyed my beloved Command &amp; Conquer?

The game has been changed dramatically. Depending on what you liked in the game may lead to disappointment. With that being said, I may not have liked the game,but that was mainly because of my own expectations.you may find that the game is actually quite good. I simply want a beautified and modernized simcity 4...but others may want something different. What I will say is this, don't read the reviews, watch the videos of the game play and decide for yourself. It is true that companies can ruin games or franchises that we love, but everyone is different. I wish you luck and I really hope that you can find a.product that you.rnjoy as much as simcity for myself and command and conquer for you.

No. I was very disappointed about that. I purchased this version because of supposedly we did not have to play online. I am sorry, but it is getting harder and hard to find games that are not online.

Yes you can and its a really fun game, if you have any other concerns i recommend downloading origin and trying out the sims city free trial before purchase they do offer a free trial of like an hour or so which is also offline play as well. Once the trial is up you can still continue where you left off if you buy the game.

It's not quite the same. There is officially no skirmish mode, but there are preset maps you can play against the AI without doing the story.

They're right, it is deceptive advertising. The one they send you is actually the newer version of the game, no the one you see pictured here. The prompts on the card are situated differently. As far as it being "worse", that is the personal preference of those who said that. When I got mine, I was disappointed that it wasn't the older version pictured here. But I looked through it; it isn't terrible or anything. It is just fine. The terms are updated for our digital age, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with it.

No! The game is mostly plotless honestly. Its very relaxing and the goals that one can obtain within the game require no alternative knowledges from previous versions!

I couldn't play it on any of three systems I tried...save your money - this game is a bust.

My kids say SIM City played better on the set up this replaced. That was an AMD Athlon 2 with a dedicated 512MB GeForce video card. Both our systems now have no dedicated video and our AMD A10 plays games better. I don't know if that helps, but that's our experience.

I am not selling anything, the game has drm and is tied to an account once activated. I simply wrote the review to help future customers with their purchases. The limited was a pre order special that came with a couple digital extras and a beta. As far as SimCity standard, it is the same as limited, I believe deluxe is the one with all the bells and whistles with digital content.

I was so frustrated with this game. I have several slot games and never had one that wouldn't load properly. I bought my game in October, but when I looked at more recent reviews, people still seem to have problems with launch. I would like to have this slot game too...if it would work! I would not recommend buying this game. It's not that it wasn't like the ones in the casino, or worked too slowly or didn't pay off too much or too little, it didn't work at all! Buyer beware! Look at the number of reviews that have the exact same complaints about the game and then decide it you think you might get one that actually works. I do have a laptop and some people have said that is why it didn't install, but I have 3 WMS and Reel Deal slots that work perfectly fine on my laptop. Good luck!

hey man i had the same problem except the only thing it gave me was colonization. heres whatcha have to do you. go to your c drive programs 86 and go to 2K games and click on file that says civ it should open you to the files that says complete, warlords, and colonization with the exes for the other expansions. though you might look around the files for a little bit but you will find them :D i wish ou the best of luck hope helped- Megaminecraft9

If you do a clean install you shouldn't have a problem. Sounds like your sims game is failing. Possibly you installed 64 bit and originally had 32bit?. That might be the problem with your game.

Not sure at all, the game functions and plays normally. Likely a description of what one may do with it, add it to your collection/stockpile

It included the main game and expansion but don't waste your money. Wait till all the updates for SimCity come out and then buy the complete edition when EA releases it for a tenth of the cost. Remember if it's made by EA, you can be sure they will gouge the price you pay.

The compatibility is terrible and I couldn't get the main game or the expansion to work for a while. The problem is mainly activating the game itself (as there is a mod somewhere in the web that allows you start without GFWL and save games but has no MP). I found so many workarounds around the web and spent hours trying them all without being able to start the game. I gave up. and after a while I randomly selected the main game to launch and it surprisingly ran just fine. The expansion was more stubborn. It took a couple of months before it ran just fine on its own just like its big sister.If you're looking for minimal frustration with getting this game to work on Win8.1, RUN!

Yes. The packaging looks real. It is most likely the product EA quit making and replaced with a new product that goes by the same name. The new "Visible Difference" is nothing like the original which is now only available on the internet. EA made a big mistake in my opinion.
