#Simcity 2000 water pipes not working upgrade#
If you upgrade to a high-traffic avenue then you can expect skyscrapers and apartment buildings to grow near it. If you use little dirt roads, the building density is low. The downside to the new road system is that zoning density is tied into what type of road you use. The roads can also be curved now, which is nice but it’s not very efficient. It makes building the city faster and easier, and I never felt like I was missing anything by not placing something like power lines manually. It might seem like they are taking away control from the player, but I can’t think of any reason why I would need to build a city and not give it all of these necessary things to function anyway. Power lines, sewage pipes, and water pipes have all been tied into roads, so now all you have to do is connect everything to a road and it works. The biggest feature that has been talked about endlessly since SimCity was announced is the new road system, and yes the roads are cool.
If you do feel the need to access more information, you can pick from around 20 different overlays that show stats ranging from hospital coverage, tourism income, property value, population density, to the location of natural resources like ore and oil. Another good example is the road icon, which allows you to build or upgrade roads while letting you see what’s currently going on with traffic. If you click on, for example, the police icon not only can you build new police stations, you can also see where your current stations are, how many crimes are committed in a day, and how many of those criminals you catch. The old full-screen graphs and charts have been replaced by easy to read overlays that match what you are currently doing. The graphics are modern and use hip things like tilt-shift and custom filters that make everything look like a photo from Instagram. I liked the way the screen looked, how detailed the city is, and how easy it is to access information. I really wanted to love this game, and my initial impressions were positive. This review is based in part on time spent before release when I was able to connect, but mostly my opinions are formed on the actual retail version of the game. Things might get better in the future for SimCity, but right now it’s bad and unplayable at times. You are why we review games, and you are the ones that care about our opinions.
We tossed it out there to you to see what you wanted us to do, and you responded loud and clear that the game deserved to be reviewed in its current state. I’ve had a hard time getting online to play, and it’s made judging it as a game difficult. This might be overlooked as a minor annoyance, but the servers aren’t up to the task of handling the player load. Sadly, SimCity has some weird design decisions, and the worst problem with it is the fact that you always have to be online to play. The visual style looks great, and it seemed like a good idea to streamline some of the games more radical detail. I played the first one for countless hours growing up, and my younger years were filled with endless play sessions of SimCity 20.
