Streets of SimCity

Review by Mekel1988

"Everything a teen could want in one game!"

In Streets of SimCity, your main goal is to complete all four ''programs.'' Of course, just like SimCopter, you can import your own cities! ...I feel sorry for the programmers of this very complex program...

Gameplay - 10
I LOVE this game! I mean, I can buy a car, soup it up, and hit the road in the same car! Time for some explosions!!!
Anyway, back to the review. Streets of SimCity has superb gameplay. You can race, fight, chase, and even be chased by cars! There's 5 different kinds of cars at your disposal. You can even build cars by going to the Car Factory! Add in all the mods and weapons and you've got more than a good game. Plus, you can even drive in your own cities, and even hold a race in them! The Player's Choice option is my favorite. You can choose your level of difficulty by which option you choose. I like Bad Hair Day. It's not as easy as Sunday Driver, but you can gain money and blow up more than just buildings. Of course, you gotta look out for the cops... You get fined $250 bucks by driving too fast. I hate that. Even so, it's still a good game. No wonder I'm typing so much!

Music - 7
THIS is the part I hate. There's no good radio stations, though you can make your own, but there're some great songs. Even still, the music on the menus are the same, and that gets annoying. I think they also forgot to run it through the censors. Definately not for children.

Sound - 9
The sound of missles and machine guns and explosions all make me gleem with pride that I have this game. Many sounds seem near-perfect to me. The annoying police siren and the voices in the ''programs'' are the only ones that this game could do without, but what's past is past.

Animation - 10
This game takes simulations to the next level. That's all I need to say here.

Graphics - 10
Never have I seen such life-like graphics. I know that it's fake but it's hard to prove. Now, add in the fact that you can make your own skins and choose skins makes this game excellent. Just imagine if these cars were real!!!

TO BUY OR TO RENT?
BUY! I mean, how else are you going to play the game, anyway? Still, it's a fun game, and well worth the money. I was just looking for SimIsle, but this game makes the bundle pack I got even better! My sister and I are really addicted to this game, and for good reason!
