![]() To top off all of the new features, there is also a brand new disaster in this expansion pack. So if you mute in-game music then there has never been a better time to un-mute and blast out the music! i Maaike from Platinum Simmers will tell you how much I was fangirling over it and I believe that games need kick ass soundtracks. As with the base game the music changes depending on what you’re doing in-game, such as being in region mode, placing down roads or sitting in the pause menu. The new music is beautiful and suits the futuristic theme of the expansion pack. Chris Tilton returns to compose two new pieces of music and create ‘Futuristic mixes’ of the base game soundtrack. You could view this as a way to stop them going on the roads and causing traffic problems as they’re not in the sky! Something which I love is that you’ll get a few moments when you hear more music from The Sims games in these MegaTowers. Another way for your Sims to get from A to B is the addition of the maglev! You can place down maglev stations which have their own garage, removing the need for a main depot.Įveryone who knows me will tell you that I am obsessed with game soundtracks and that’s no exception with SimCity Cities of Tomorrow. You can connect MegaTowers with a Skybridge (once you have the technology researched in the region) so Sims and commute between them. This really is the way to go if you want to bump up your city population and fill up jobs in your city. Add residential, commercial, industry, education and more to your MegaTower to make it cater to the wants of the Sims living inside. I personally love them and you can really customise each one depending on how you want your city to be. MegaTowers allow you to build into the upwards, not outwards, so you can cram in hundreds of thousands of Sims into your cities. While Maxis has announced that they will not be making city sizes any bigger due to technical reasons, they seem to have some solutions up their sleeves. One of the biggest complaints about the latest incarnation of SimCity is the map sizes. ControlNet, along with Omega, is tradable so you can buy/sell this from other cities. Many futuristic things, such as certain megatower modules or eco friendly technologies, work with something called ‘ControlNet’ which acts as a wireless network (turn on the data layer to see the awesome data visualisations). OmegaCo will generate you a fair amount of simoleons but you’ll have to deal with the pollution, fires, and the damage it causes to your city. This corporation creates Omega which Sims in your city absolutely love (and will be very upset if you take it away from them). Not up for making an eco friendly future? Then try plopping down the OmegaCo factory and you’ll be in for a treat. The Academy will help you bring all the environmentally friendly technology from the future into your city to make your city the perfect utopia. These new regions are different from any previous ones as they contain tropical and desert themes – each with their pros and cons as you’d expect!Īs I mentioned earlier there are also two new city specialisations – The Academy and OmegaCo. In addition you can build into the sky with MegaTowers, play with two new city specialisations and watch your city transform into an all-new futuristic look!Ĭities of Tomorrow brings four new regions to your game and you can use these whether you own the expansion pack or not. You can create a utopian society underpinned by clean technology, or allow a giant corporation to plunder and pollute. While some may regard it as a cosmetic change from the trailers, that’s far from the truth. ![]() With the launch behind us, Maxis have turned their efforts to the first SimCity expansion pack titled Cities of Tomorrow.Ĭities of Tomorrow gives you the ability to take your cities into the future (sound familiar?). Since then SimCity has received many updates which brought new features, free content and bug fixes. Game features were turned off, such as cheetah speed and the global market, and many critics adjusted reviews to reflect the launch of the game. ![]() SimCity started with a large hurdle back in March when the game servers couldn’t handle capacity. Featuring impressive visuals, a catchy soundtrack and deep gameplay, does the future look brighter for this game? The first expansion pack for SimCity, Cities of Tomorrow, brings an all new way to play your game.
