Summary
SimCity: Cities Of Tomorrow - an add-on pack for 2013’s SimCity - enables gamers to create and control societies and communities using technologies as yet unrealised in the real world or even the unreal world of SimCity itself.
The player doesn't just get to decide design, traffic flow and urban zoning though - they can also decide whether their city will nuture a benign environment where nature and commerce can co-exist, or they can make cash. They can allow a giant corporation to plunder and pollute in the name of feeding the Sims’ insatiable consumerism. This is achievable via the Corporate Consumerism vs. Green Utopian city specialisations that must be unlocked to enable the player to adopt the persona of a resource-hungry mega corporation powered by a low-wealth workforce, or an urban utopia that develops clean technology and is controlled by the rich.
Buildings in this future world can expand out or up into super-tall MegaTowers, each of which has its own internal zoning and individual communities like towns piled on top of each other.
Using education and research to discover new technologies such as Mag-Lev trains or other ways in which to ensure that cities are less polluted and less reliant on natural resources will help to expand the gamer’s reach. In this task service drones do most of the rough work.
Of course, it wouldn’t be SimCity without disasters. And futuristic disasters new and dreadful come as part of the package. These involve terrifying and destructive attacks by giant robot attacks.
