It has great art, pixel-art style, and was focused on plopping everything. But it was targeted at kids, and focused on making citizens happy. It's not SimCity. SimCity Societies is not SimCity, it's SimTown 2. What this game really seems like is SimTown. It has great art, pixel-art style, and was focused on plopping everything.

I don't like the way Tilted Mill worked out the game, they should have combined plopping buildings with zoning. If you want houses, zone it, if you want industry, zone it, if you want commercial, zone it. Special buildings like police stations should be plopped, just like in SC4. If you want a station to be corrupt, click the station and change a setting to "corrupt". O, and mimes are NOT creative :P It’s an interesting concept but not a SimCity game.
