Summary: The Greatest Game of All Time
Review: I haven't played the current version of SimCity and I am not one for speculation, but from the aspect of the game itself. You have to use your wit and careful planning to build the perfect city. It is rare that there is a game that causes the user to us their brain to play well, which is why this game is the very best. My wish however didn't come true in this game and I think they should incorporate it into the next version (Elections) I think it would be great to best your knowledge of persuasion as well a action to get your citizens to like you and elect you as their mayor, but if not then the computer will take control until you decide a better approach to improve the lives of your sims. So for those of you who like to think and use strategy to play games this is the best game for you

Summary: Read this review before purchasing this game!
Review: If you buy this game please be warned that it is very bad.If you think this game will offer you the action packed thrills of GTA or anything along that line please reconsider. I play a lot of games and I know video games.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Addicting!
Review: I have been playing simcity for years, probably about 7 or so years. Its the best game by far. I highly recommended it to those who like simulation games and the thought of building a city.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yay!
Review: Unlike some people who have the crazy idea of this being the same old thing trust me it's not. I was at the Ea exhibition in May and I was one of the lucky people who got to test the game. This game is incredible. The Graphics are very detailed and realistic. You can build more than one city on the same map. Not to mention importing your own Sims into the game. At The exhibition I saw that your city just didn't sleep like in SimCity 3000. You see your people walking about and running their daily lives, like walking their dogs, Driving to the supermarket, Driving their kids to school even going to church!

The biggest improvement that I saw in SimCity 4 were the disasters. In SimCity 3000 you had like what? 4? In SimCity 4 you get over eight disasters. The best part is that you can control and decide where your Tornado goes. You also get Volcanoes that erupt, Erathquakes that bury houses and split open the earth, Meteor showers that leave everlasting craters and
Lightning Bolts, Fires, Riots, Floods, Mudslides, Bank Robberies and even Car chases. You get to choose you terrian styles. You can ahve an African style with Rhino's and Giraffes. Sometimes they can even stampede into your city.

The other great thing about SimCity 4 is the terrian tools. You can sculpt gorges, Laggons, Cliffs, Craters, Valleys and even place galiciers. Then you have time settings. A 1900's Chicago style, A 1950'S Ne York Style, And a 2000 Houston Style. Then there is the constructions of buildings. When you build your buildings they just don't appear out of no where tou actually see your sims get into their work trucks and start to construct the building. And if the building is of no use anmore it decays and doesn't turn into a huge big purple borded up mess. Then if you want to destroy or knock down a building it just doesn't dissapear, you can actually impload or expload your building from any side you want. There are no old buildings from SimCity 3000, There are totally new realistic looking buildings in SimCity 4.

To me all this extra stuff makes this game totally anew. You won't get board if you like Simulation games.

Summary: Maxis Does It Again!
Review: Once again, Maxis has far outdone its previous version of Sim City. Sim City 4 looks to be one of the top selling games of the year, along with The Sims Online.

The graphics for this game are absolutely incredible. You can edit the terrain almost any way that you please. You can add mountains and cliffs and lagoons and even volcanoes!

Maxis is taking full advantage of its unprecedented sucess of The Sims game by incorporating them into Sim City 4. You can import your Sims into Sim City 4 and they will talk to you and complain about how bad your city is or compliment you about what a great mayor you are. As your Sims move away or die or something, their kids will grow up and continue to live in your city so you can have multi-generation families living in your city.

This game is much more complex than even Sim City 3000. The RCI meter is replaced with a meter with about 12 different things. The programmers have updated the game with even more complex algorithms for city growth and etc.

From the looks of the amazing graphics and other things I have heard about this game, I imagine it will have pretty steep PC requirements, but I can assure you, this game will be the most amazing Sim City game to date.

Summary: THE BEST OF THE BEST
Review: This game is awsome, the screen shots tells you everything, go to ...simcity...and search for Sim City 4.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: looks like a tremendous improvement...
Review: I recently took a gander at the screenshots for this latest version (not yet released) of Simcity. Among the many noticeable improvements include switching from day to night/ night to day, more disasters including volcanoes, realistic weather patterns, more realistic-looking and detailed buildings, more variety of zoning options/ building types, and for the first time in the series, you can zone and construct buildings on sloping terrain. Of course, we will all have to wait until the title is released some time down the road to see the real improvements for ourselves.

Summary: I loved the Simcity series, but they need to change it
Review: I enjoyed the Simcity games and felt ripped off with Simcity 3000 as it was basically the same package as the previous Simcity. If you love the basic city building concepts of the Simcity games, Simcity 4 is the exact same thing. At least they changed the graphics for this one and gave it an updated look for today's video cards but if you look at screenshots for Simcity 4 you'll see that it has the same rules, building types, etc. If you'd like to play Simcity again with an updated graphics engine, go for this title, but if you've been "simcitied out," save your money and buy another title. Sims anything sells like hotcakes and EA realizes this. It's another attempt to cash in on the Sim name.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool Game Simcity4
Review: For what seen on the site, this game is going to be the best one out there to date, and i bet it's going to be the last one that look's this good, and i've playe all of the Simcity Game's and this one take's the cake.

I highly think that you get this one if you never played a Simcity game at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than any game I've ever played!
Review: I've been a Sim City fan since the very first version way back years ago, before some of you wild and crazy kid gamers were born, and I've snapped up each new edition and addition, marveling at the evolution with every new version. As I say each time: This one tops them all, with bells on!

Better in every way: Everything I've wanted is finally included! Everything I've disliked is finally gone! Features I never could have dreamed of dazzle me as I discover them!

Trying to be coherent here for the benefit of normal people; fellow simians will know what I mean. More elaborate scenarios, sophisticated technical stuff (visual animations of weather, traffic, perspectives, sounds and music, etc.), more complex algorithms underlying sim city life and how to run or ruin it, refined interface, both more powerful and more intuitive, wittier (and wilier) advisors, and of course spectacular buildings rendered in tweezer-tight detail... well, I won't spill all the beans!

Argh! I'm bouncing off the walls!

Five stars with whipped cream and a cherry on top! Run, don't walk, to get this one! And then cancel all your appointments for the next three days at least, maybe even three months, because if you're a true Simaniac, you shouldn't plan on getting out much for a while!
