SimCity BuildIt App Reviews

So much fun. I am an addict.

Addictive and engrossing. It requires a lot of patience, but I find that staring at my city, moving stuff around, etc., facilitates a kind of Zen experience. This is my way of relaxing when I cant sleep.

Hard to upgrade need more things it takes too much time doing things on there and cost too much money and its hard to do the building project when its only there for a day and you have to create things and that takes forever. I think the timing needs fixing it needs to be shorter when making products and things from the stores so we can upgrade faster

Awesome game thats all i can say. Worth the download

Unhappy! Completely ripping people off you have to pay to play its ridiculous!

We all know life is expensive, its always about the money, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da… this game will drive you batty, and yes, I am talking full-tilt Bozo, honey weve gotta sell the kids kinda crazy UNLESS you shell out some real bucks. Buildings WILL burn, peoples homes will be abandoned, the citizens of [Inset your town name here] will HATE you, crime rates will rise, police sirens will go off constantly. Sewage will back up into the streets and bells will ring, buzzers will blare, the game will do everything it can to urge, entice, cajole or coerce you into making the little faux people happy. How? By spending money to improve their services. I thought turning the sound off would help, but Nooo-ooo-ooo. Little banners start popping up telling you that you are a lousy mayor, that buildings are on fire or abandoned because YOU CANT AFFORD TO BUY THEM A POWER PLANT, OR A SEWER PLANT, OR A POLICE STATION. Sure, can make gold coins, BUT you cant buy most stuff w coins, it takes dollars, which you buy with real green dollars. That said, Im addicted. Spend my hard earned money well guys.

Well paced and cleverly entertaining.

this is the way I like to play no insane pvp players making my life hell

This could be a fun game but when you continually refresh the global market and continually only have the option to purchase the same crap items it makes this game super stupid. Makes me not even want to open the game up!

I loved it at first but it takes way too long to progress forward. Id rather pay 60 bucks one time and be able to design freely than to have to wait forever bc I dont have enough simoleons. Kind of ridiculous, in my opinion.

Well made and easy to work nothing is really complicated and its fun to play hope I can get 2.5 million people in my city :D

This is amazing hes beautiful

Its super fun but it has problems 1.Everything costs too much. In-game purchases and simoleon purchases. And the in-game purchases barely give you anything that fits the price. Like five bucks only gives you 250 simcash. 2.Its ridiculous how a fire department cant put out a fire literally across the street. The areas for all the services and specialties should be larger and more realistic. And less expensive. 3.Simcash should give you more simoleons when you trade it in for some. It costs 30 simcash and you only get 900 simoleons. It think it should be closer to 2,500.

This was honestly my first experience with the Sims series. Growing up in the early generation of the millennium period (00-05 , specifically), I remembered that as a pre-teen in middle school, my cousins and even my sister were highly into Sims. Of course, a kid like me who was into violent games like GTA, Mortal Kombat, Medal of Honor, etc., I never gave it a second thought of how addictive Sims could really be. This is a game of complex strategy, adapting ones own character in a game, as well as building a relationship with other competitors. I have no complaints whats so ever with Sims. I am proud to say that I was proven wrong with the series. And for that, I have so much respect with you guys. Thank you for an awesome experience. Two thumbs way up.

It is on of the games that is improving the skills. But the bad things it push u hardly to pay or it will stuck in some level.

This is an oversimplified version of SimCity, which has basically been turned into a resource farming game. The game makes sure that you never have enough supplies to build any upgrades that your town needs, so you either need to wait forever to produce them or pay for the supplies with cash. This makes the gameplay painfully slow unless you want to throw money at it.

Ive owned every SimCity since the first. Cons: you can amass great $$$ in tax money but there is no way to convert to simoleums or keys unless you purchase them; mayor challenges are gimmicks; trade center still poor and unrealistic. If you are looking for a realistic simulator this will disappoint. More entertainment value in simulators like Township. Pity....game design is obviously dominated by accountants rather than reality

Very intuitive functions lead to good gameplay.

I love this game. It is really fun. The problem is that EA gets too greedy. I spend on games I enjoy, but in this case, they go just a bit too far. You dont feel like you are making in app purchases to add to your enjoyment, instead you almost HAVE to pay - quite a bit - just to play at all. It gets to be not fun and where I just want to delete because I cant afford to play. Its a great idea, just a poor pricing strategy... ADDED: In the next update, please make the buildings upgrades reasonably priced. 64,000? The only people who are getting this done are cheating. I really want my son to be able to play this game but theres no way any kid has the patience for the game as is. Also, you should be able to do what you do in Clash of Clans and buy an extra building materials station using SimCash. I think the fact that this game is so great yet only has 1,000 reviews speaks for itself...get someone who understands pricing strategy for apps!!!

Its a good game however the rate at which you can make "sim dollars" to boost your infrastructure is far too slow
