Streets of SimCity

The Good
You can cruise around in your SimCity 2000 city (and, if you have SC2k, and SimCity, you can convert SimCity cities and drive in them too). The racing levels were fun.

The Bad
The framerate is horible! I had to run it in 320/240 resolution (low-res) to get a decent frame rate. The missions are almost imposible. The controls are the worst I have seen in a racing game. You try to turn a little and the car spins around 90.

The Bottom Line*
DO NOT GET IT, ONE OF THE WORST GAMES EVER!

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
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.
