SimCity Societies is the last edition of the well-known SimCity franchise. However, in my opinion, it doesn't meet the expectations of many of the users of the original games. Why, you might ask? Well, the game tried to achieve something new by dumbing down the game; that is, to do without the elements that made it a great game franchise. For example, in the old game, one had to lay out everything that makes a real city come to life, like the electricity, the water system, the roads. Now it all comes down to laying out the roads and creating the houses. Even there, the game tends to fail, since everything occurs so randomly that the user doesn't really know what he is doing wrong to cause a certain problem. The game has some improvements, especially in the graphics department. The cities look incredibly sharp and vivid, and everything resembles a real city. However, since the game is not loyal at all to the foundations of the franchise, those flaws that I have just mentioned cloud the whole sweet graphics this game has.

Laying down pipes, and electric pylons etc, is what the old SimCity games utterly boring, same problem with City-Builder Skylines, bought that and it's boring as hell, just feels old and archaic.
