SimCity Societies: EA Doing Things Right This Time?

SimCity… it’s one of those games you have to give credit to. It was one of the first sim games on the market that did things -right-… all the way up until SimCity 3 when things became inherently mind-dulling. I wanted to build cities and have fun, without the worry of screwing around with water-pipes! Well, apparently I am not the only one out there who feels that way, as EA is promising a “city builder with a focus on accessibility”. I admit, I am really, really looking forward to this game.

The act of zoning is gone entirely, leaving players to place their buildings one by one in order to lay our their city. That may sound contrary to the overall goal, but the structures themselves are the characters this time around. Each building comes with its own stats and attributes that more clearly affect the citizens of your city.
