The sound design is almost like a full-blown soundtrack itself. The good news is that Maxis included sliders so that you can turn the music all the way off without turning the sound effects off because, you know, building a city to Jimi Hendrix is much more enjoyable. The soundtrack is an emotionally driven wave of cartoony Sims-esque music that we are used to and it’s enjoyable at first, but you’ll quickly find yourself wanting to get rid of it. However, you’ll still notice some framerate drops as you add more and more buildings and sims to your city. So, when you factor this point in, the game is impressive for what it can handle. This was expected though, due to the amount of different things that can be going on at any time on the screen.
Simcity ppc update#
SimCity definitely brought back some memories of playing the previous iteration, SimCity 4. However, the newest update to the franchise adds a mixed bag of new gameplay aspects, some good and some terrible.įor one, SimCity looks pretty good on the highest settings, but there’s nothing mind-blowing here. But was it good enough to make up for the long wait to actually play the game? But, as we all expected, once we actually got into the game (which took five days after its launch), it was a good experience. A slew of EA customers attempted to get a refund for their un-playable game and many of the responses from Origin’s customer service reps were shared, showing that EA was unwilling to give refunds for digital copies of the game. Then, SimCity’s servers crashed majorly, preventing 98% (rumored) of its gamers from even being able to connect to play the game, rendering the game a useless 14GB hard drive whore, as the game is online only. First, gamers (including me) couldn’t even download the game from Origin. There have been all sorts of issues with this game’s launch. In fact, I can’t recall any other launch that has been botched this badly. Why did it take so long? For those who live under a rock, EA’s SimCity has had a launch week from hell.
