SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack - Mac, Windows

This expansion adds two new ways to play the game, whether by adding futuristic towers of apartments and shopping malls, or giant corporate towers. These are specialization buildings like the casinos, or resource operations. They are expensive to build, and take a significant amount of time to start generating revenue. They also have enormous footprints in cities that have always been too small. The advantage, though, is that with the 8 levels that can be built, they house massive amounts of Sims, and can include a school, negating the need to build schools, plus commercial shopping all within the same footprint. The drawback is the Sims that need to find work outside of the towers, as well as freight supply trucks for the commercial businesses, generate massive amounts of traffic routing to and from the towers. The buildings, though, look futuristic with the neon lighting, billboards and other signage, plus put out an aura causing nearby non-EP buildings, roads and other ambient decor to add futuristic touches, like neon, as well as futuristic vehicles appearing. With enough of them, the cities take on the look of Blade Runner, which is a cool effect.

At the beginning, the game is great. However, when the player progresses during game play, it begins to slow down. Much better than Cities of Skyline! Also, a great deal of simulation compared to others.

This game is awesome! It gives kids the tools needed to build and manage their own cities, and can be high level or as granular as you want. This starts with a blank area and lets the player engineer their city with sanitation, power, water, industry, retail and residential. Each has to have a balance or the Sim-citizens get unhappy and favor for the "mayor" (player) falls. Build it right and you can get better buildings and happier citizens. This has opened my son to the possibilities of engineering and architecture, and helped him understand supply and demand. It is one of the great simulation games on the market today. 5 Stars from me!

Is still a pretty good game, however I still miss some common stuff seen in cities such as undergrounds, monorails, beaches and other things. New futuristic buildings are amazing and help to deal with the shortage of space, since many cities have a standard size.

So we now know that there's no good reason for the always-online requirement. Still, it's a solid expansion pack. Consider something like Cities: Skylines to slake your thirst for a city builder that won't insult you as much.

This is an expansion for the PC game SIM CITY...which has gotten a lot of bad press in the beginning but over all I find it to be a fun game. THis expansion adds new buildings into the mix to give your game some new life.

Overall all a very exciting and fun game. The new buildings and ways to play are excellent. But the pollution levels and sick sims are some times over helming.

This game's alot of fun! It's a lot better since they patched it. if you can pick a copy up for 20 bucks, I say go for it. It's entertainment for just about anyone.
