Comments about SimCity BuildIt as a Alternative to SimCity
Some users think SimCity BuildIt is a great SimCity alternative, some don't.
If you are not willing to pay to play, forget about this game. You start with a low budget and hardly any way to improve that. It is a great game if you are willing to p2p.
