Streets of SimCity

The Good
What did I like...hmmmmmmmm??? Well you can uninstall it. And one of the songs was ok.

The Bad
Just about everything, the game engine appears to be a port from Sim Copter, thusly leading to the question, physics model? What physics model? Which leads to my next question, there is AI in this game? I thought the cars just ran around randomly hoping that they might shoot you. The sound effects are terrible and the music isn't much better. Then there are the graphics and I squint at the screen and ask myself, what IS that? I've seen bad 3d engines before, take Strife for example, but this is just terrible. And the plot behind the game is crazy too, pick up packages and deliver them, this wouldn't be so bad but I'm not given a reason for doing this other than for small amounts of money.

The Bottom Line
If I could give this game a negative score, I probaly would.

The Good
Being able to build your own cities in the Sim City Urban Renewal Kit and driving through them.

The graphics are so realistic, I feel as if I'm actually driving.

The game's scenarios are challenging and fun.

You can build your own cars in the car factory(but you can only use models of the games regular cars).

I love how the game is very realistic. You have to fill up at gas stations, repair your car when parts of it are damaged, and even change the tires and engine!

One of my most favorite things about this game is the radio. The commercials are hilarious and the music sounds so good. You can also change the station .

The Bad
There is no horn.

The bugs. I see pedestrians walking funny and backwards, parked cars on top of each other and on parking lot lights, and being able to drive through gas stations, power lines, and trees.

That message that says: "An unrecoverable error has occurred and Streets of Sim City must quit."

The Bottom Line
If you are the type that likes driving and racing games, this game is for you. But expect some bugs.

The Good
About the only good thing about the game was the original purpose -- to be able to drive around cities you create yourself.

The Bad
Graphics -- compared to other games of the time, the graphics in SoS were bland and low quality.

AI -- Enemy vehicles (in modes with them) were of the "drive and fire" or "drive and crash" school of combat, without any guile or intelligence seen in other games.

The Bottom Line
Unless it's in a bargain bin for $5 or less, it's not worth buying.
