Customers are saying

Customers highly value the improved graphics and addictive gameplay of SimCity: Limited Edition. Many appreciate the challenging city-building experience and affordable price point. However, the game is met with significant criticism due to persistent server issues, an always-online requirement, a restrictively small map size, and the presence of bugs.

    Love the offline option. Essential for people who have not-so-great internet out in the countryside. Very addictive game. Not too keen on how long it takes for supplies to be sent to great works sites. Also wish you could bulldoze and start over a city that's gone bankrupt.

    For the slim price of 4.00, I purchased this game. Since it's launch, it has gotten better. Typical city builder that you can sink hours into instantly. If you can find it on sale, I would definitely recommend it.

    Bought it on clearance for $6.99 when origin is still selling for $29.99 Best thing is downloaded from Origin with the code without even having to install the cd. Plus then you always have it in the library to download again. No searching through your game cd's upon reformat. Getting lazy nowadays! :)

    I have played The Sims and Sim City games for many years and this version of Sim City blows all other versions away. Visuals are top notch and the gameplay is fantastic and never overly complicated. I can't wait until future expansion packs!

    It has been a while since I have played SimCity. I was skeptical when purchasing this game, because of the other reviews I have read, etc. Though, I bought it, installed it (which was super fast), and started play...and had a hard time stopping. It is very fun and the graphics are great! There is much to do in the game and the possibilities are endless! A bonus, is they are coming out with the patch so you do not have to be online. Though, you are still able to create your own 'world' and make it private, so no one else can join. I have not had any issues so far.

    Purchased this game when it went on sale. Didn't pick it up when it first came out, but glad I wanted. Got it for a fraction of the cost, with BestBuy's sale for the game. Wife loves the game, and looks really nice.

    Much more fluid and detailed than SimCity's of yore, but that is to be expected. So many cities and levels of customization, enough to keep anyone glued to the game for weeks. if not months or years on end.

    This game is a big disappointment compared to what came before it, but for the price I can't really complain. It's not a bad game, but not a good one either.

    This is a fun game, but it is time consuming. You can't just pick up and play for a little bit here and there. I wish I had free time so I could play SimCity.

    It was a decent SimCity. Definitely not at the top in the series. There is a lot of depth to this game, but limited at the same time.

    This game is just average. Im very disappointed as I had very high expectations and was let down. The servers are a pain in the rump as I hate games that require me to be online at all times as their servers often fail and the player is out of luck. It could have been so much better.
