SimCity is a reboot of the popular city builder series from Maxis. The game uses a new, powerful simulation engine, and gives the players more freedom with upgradable civic buildings and freeform roads. SimCity also adds city specializations such as Mining, Electronics, and Gambling, which can be mixed together. The game requires an online connection, and allows the players to trade goods in a global market and compete for the top positions on the leaderboards.
