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.

    Was excited for this game and it lived up to my expectations. People complained about always needing an Internet connection, but I don't mind it. Every city you play is unique, you can't find one strategy that works and implement them into every game you play. Great game, I highly recommend it.

    This is a great new and fresh look and game play for an old classic. I love the new build grids and achievements. I do like the co-op aspect of play if you can find a few people that you can rely on. But you don't have to play co-op if you don' t like that kind of game. But the bugs they released this game with are huge. I think we are on fix number 5 now so we may just about have the game they wanted to develop. Check out the EA forums to see what was going on prior, but like I said you wouldn't think that EA would want to release a game like this so early, I feel like I paid full price for a beta version of the game.

    I had this game back when it was on floppies. This version has neat things you can place into the zones areas. It's really easy to play and the detail is extraordinary. Each Sim has a discrete name.

    Great game. Love the new features such as city specialization. It is also much easier to actually have a balance budget than Sim City 4. The only downside is the smaller map size. Makes it hard to have everything or to even create a very large city.

    I love the game overall now that they "fixed" the server problems. Would still like to have more server so I could play with friends on the same server even during peak time. Gfx are great and gameplay is really good after i upgraded my computer ;)

    After getting past the server connection issues, this is the SimCity I was expecting and wanted. I can deal with needing to be online to play, but I wish I didn't have to.

    There were some initial problems with their servers crashing (I still question the requirement that we be online and connected to their servers in order to play the game), however the game itself is pretty awesome and has numerous satisfying elements. I do miss some things about the previous SimCity franchise (in playing simcity 4, for example, I felt like I was literally a city planner and zoner working on a grid that gave me full control; the reboot makes me feel more like I'm the mayor stewarding various parts of my city to develop in certain ways, including responding to feedback from residents and external pressures).

    Wish it was like Simcity 4 in speed and control and not a need to connect with internet. Based on number of updates, appears game introduction should have been delayed to iron out problems. Much slower than Simcity 4 which unforunately does not work on Windows 7 and city boundaries much smaller. .
