An open world racing game done right. Amazing cars, amazing physics, amazing graphics, amazing scenery and the introduction of seasons really blows this one out of the water. Definitely spot-on for a racing simulation game.
Best Simpsons Game Ever Made or at least, my favorite. A huge step above The Simpsons: Road Rage and I like how it takes elements from the GTA series (like the radar, missions, stealing cars, driving around, etc), how many parallels it has to the actual TV series and an overall interesting storyline. I'd love if this game got brough back somehow (re-released, remastered or whatever). Just too bad this masterpiece **** basically feel into the abyss of lost video games.
I got the PC version back in July and while it's still mostly just like any old kart racer, this one certainly does it as far as being a good Sonic racing game. The graphics are amazing, most of the tracks look brilliant while staying true to that Sonic/SEGA feel, the level-up/reward system is superb, it's difficulty settings are actually what they say they are (not too easy, not too hard) and almost all of its content serves an actual purpose rather than just being filler content. Plus, it's got such a variety of playable characters. Overall, a very good kart racer with a very cool Sonic/SEGA spin to it.
The only thing about SimCity (2013) that stands out to me is the fact that it's in 3D, but other than that, it's overall lackluster, even for a SimCity. The ControlNet complicates the game so much without adding any fun to it, you're stuck only with only a few premade regions that are so small (and can't add or make your own custom-made regions, like you could in SimCity 4) makes this version of SimCity feel so limited. Besides being in 3D, being in Sandbox Mode and adding ControlNet, it's mostly just a rehash of the previous SImCity games while also being a major step-down. It's still a fun game to play but if you're wanting a more serious, more detailed kind of city simulation, I heavily recommend SimCity 4 or Cities: Skylines over this disaster of a not city building simulation.
A huge improvement over Sims 3 in terms of performance and glitches. While it lacks many of the things that previous Sims games had, like Create-A-Style, Open World, Cars, burglar alarms, neighborhood customization, etc, it makes up for what it left out, by being playable with little to no lag on even low-end PC's (laptop mode is a godsend), much-improved body diversity in CAS, emotions, fast loading times, etc. It's neither a step-above nor a step-backwards from its predecessors and excels in ways its predecessors don't, but also lacking in many of the things its predecessors had. So I give it a 7/10.
