Just to let you both know, SimCity is a registered trademark of Electonic Arts Incorporated.
Maxis is a wholely owned subsidiary and brand name of EA Inc.
Tilted Mills Entertainment is a private game author, unrelated to EA. EA simply published a "spin-off" of SimCity, called SimCity Societies.

Also...

Maxis versions were alot more development-based, such as zoning, taxes, transport, utilities, etc.
SimSocs is people-based eg: government types, directly placing buildings, etc.

Hope that clears up some of the sparks here.

I heard its actually quite fun, but..... my stupid graphics card is outdated and my computer is retarded becuase it won't allow larger graohic cards

If Maxis developed this one, it wouldn't been different. Maxis planned SimCity 5 this way but never had the time because of Sims 2.

Simcity Socities is pretty fun. I installed it into my mom computer and I actually like. The only thing that I dislike is the inablity to scroll out like in Simcity 4 and that its way to sensitive when moving around.

I'll stick with Cities Unlimited, thanks, or unless Maxis comes up with a better alternative. To be honest, I'd rather buy Spore instead of Socs just because it's from Maxis...

You should try it. I personally love Simcty 4 and I wish their was a more in-depth game, with weather, more disasters, ability to choose what building look like, but you still get to zone, and alot more

ya, me (and strangely, my 20 year old sister) can not wait for spore to come out!

but, ya, maxis is a great company.

Unfortunately, I doubt Maxis/Microsoft will ever take a look into making another Simcity game (especially if this one does not sell well) :cry:

well, i hope they make more games, especially if they are as ggod as spore (looks)

Beware of having (or more likely, not having) the graphics card that matchs the requirements.
