The SimCity poll!

[Grumbold]

I liked the fact that 3k allowed you to build a bigger city and move along 'traditional' growth patterns, but it would have been much nicer to have arcologies as an alternative that shifted the endgame into two divergent choices resulting in very different looking cities. Of course the planes would have to learn how to fly round or over the darn things first Some of the dumbing down was welcome - you could actually get a city burgeoning into life quite quickly by opting for money making schemes instead of having to save for 20 years to buy a second powerplant.


The one truly new feature I wish for is handling of slopes and curves. No tile game has yet managed to cope with rounded hills, varying angle slopes or construction on ground that isn't flat. Until they improve this then building any city that wasn't formed on the ubiquitous flat grid pattern will be impossible to recreate. Roundabouts would be nice, too

Yes- 2000 was the biggest leap forward.

3000 didn't have a whole lot more in it from 2000, except, of course..

IT DIDN'T HAVE ARCOLOGIES!!

I've played all of them.

IMO SC 2000 was the best - it expanded on SC, and didn't have the interface problems that let SC 3000 down (ie, the inadquete level of feed back on how your city was going [I once cut the main water pipe into my city by accident, and didn't get a peap out of that useless news thingy at the bottom of the screen ])

Arcologies!! BRING THEM BACK DAMNIT!!!


And I goofed when I voted in the poll- I actually have played all of the Simcity games (even the Banana one).

The original was perfect.
3000 is also great, and 2000 is...ok. I hated the arcologies, though building a 9 mil people city was pretty cool.

what about the "none" option?
ok, you could say Simcity Banana is none....but i played all of them, and just couldn't resist the banana...i'm sorry...

i played all of them a lot...liked them all, even if they did cut certain features in sc3k like the industries tax, they also added good things like garbage disposal, and neighbour deals.

Just curous to see how many inhere have played the different SimCity games!

I didn't include the special CD's (Like SimCity 3000 Unlimited), so if you played e.g. SC3k Unlimited, then it's just SC3k

I have played all of them!
