The past summer, here in southwest Idaho, saw a lot of road construction, and building construction taking place. Each time driving, navigating the detours and trying to avoid inevitable delays proved fruitless – which often resulted in mutterings centering on the poor planning and timing.
Why is this relevant? Easy, a new Sim City title has released and rather than mutter about how you could do things better, if you were the one planning, zoning and timing construction, you get a measure of doing the job. Not that it would qualify you to do it in real life. After all SimCity Societies is a game – albeit a very entertaining one – and not real life. You won’t be juxtaposing real-world traffic situations, but rather trying to accomplish goals while building a small community into a major metropolitan force.
