Streets is divided into 5 different 'programs', each of which are also subdivided into 'episodes'. Unfortunately, the game is only imbued with half the wit and rather than charming you with a groovy theme, ends up looking more like a cheesy rip-off. Interstate '76 is, without dispute, one the best driving-combat games of the year, and Streets of Simcity, with its funky cars and big guns, shares a similar set of ingredients. I suppose the comparisons would have been unavoidable in any case. Everything from the pseudo-television motif used in the transition screens to the entire TV-show style gameplay featuring characters with names such as Marvin Dufus, Granny O'Hare reminded me of one thing- Interstate '76. However, these similarities aren't necessarily what you might expect or find desirable.

Looking at Streets of Simcity, there are some immediate familiarities that strike you the moment you flip open the manual or boot up the game. For all intents and purposes this promise has been kept, but as I will elaborate upon later, the result is less than ideal. For me, the prospect of cruising through one my own creations up close and personal at street level kept me eyeing the release date. However, in a market saturated with high quality driving games, the advertised feature that gamers will find most enticing is the option to load up and drive in any Simcity 2000 city. Streets employs an improved version of the Simcopter 3D engine, but while Simcopter is a helicopter simulation, Streets takes on the arcade racing genre with tires smoking and guns blazing. However, the game is plagued with a plethora of problems and will disappoint even the most avid of Simcity fans. Streets of Simcity, an arcade driving game, is the product of the company's most recent efforts. By moving away from its strengths, Maxis risks losing itself in unfamiliar water, where the fish tend to grow bigger and the competition is stiffer. However, as a company trying to expand its horizons, the transition to more mainstream action-oriented gaming will not be without its teething pains. For almost a decade now, Maxis has worked to build a franchise on its thoughtful and addictive management simulations, and has earned a respectable reputation for its efforts.
