One of the last things which I think is really cool is that if you don’t have the expansion pack then you can still take advantage of some of the content in Cities of Tomorrow, providing someone in your region has placed futuristic content in their city. Due to the fact that SimCity is an online game, everyone has to have all of the content patched into their games so that they can see futuristic things if their friends are using it. You can send Omega to players, you’ll see futuristic vehicles fly by your streets or drool over the fantastic futuristic content in your friends city – trust me, this will make you want to buy this expansion pack!
SimCity Cities of Tomorrow is fun and gives you new ways to play SimCity. It’s not just a cosmetic change and brings along all-new features never seen before in a SimCity game. Whether you want to be environmentally friendly with The Academy or get rich with OmegaCo, you’ll struggle to play this game in small sessions. While older problems such as smaller maps still exist, with Maxis saying that they won’t be made bigger, you can still have plenty of fun as the focus is on the density within the city. Any SimCity player, whether you’re a veteran or newcomer, will adore this expansion pack and will struggle to put it down.
I am giving this expansion pack a 9/10 rating because of the addictive gameplay, impressive visuals, catchy music and Maxis humour. The future of this franchise is bright and I can’t wait to see what else Maxis has in store for us in 2014. SimCity Cities of Tomorrow is now available worldwide.
