Then construct the most realistic metropolis you can imagine. Your city comes alive with the hustle and bustle of construction crews, the snarl of traffic and the activity of your Sims.

Once terrain has been customised to your liking, your roll shifts from landscaper to mayor. You must build residential, commercial and industrial zones in such a way as to make the most out of your available land. For example, residential zones must be close but not too close to industrial sectors as a balance between commuting time and po...more

Y'know, a funny thing happened today. There I was, sitting on my sofa and dreaming about food (those pesky thought bubbles), when I felt this almighty presence in the room; a magnificent glow lit up the walls, and the house began to shake ominously as if in an earthquake. I thought it might be a problem with the central heating, so I got up to fiddle with the thermostat when this almighty booming voice came out of nowhere... "BEHOLD, MY SIM! YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!" I sat back down. ...  Read the complete review

*** THE SHORT VERSION (FOR THOSE IN A HURRY - AND BECAUSE I APPEAR TO HAVE WITTERED ON SOMEWHAT!) *** The latest in a succession of successful "God" games based on creating and running your own city, Sim City 4 is definitely a cut above it's previous incarnations. It maintains the same addictive qualities, but has managed to eradicate some of the slightly more irritating aspects of the game. It is beautiful to look at, fairly easy to pick up and highly playable. The features and levels of the games have expanded, enabling you to appreciate the game on both a large (regional) and a small (individual person) level. It will take up ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Sim City 4 (PC): Curios-city  (1723 words)

The lure of the SimCity marketing strategy has dangled its meaty little worm and like the rampant consumer I am I?ve nibbled and finally swallowed it whole and been hooked without chance of parole. Maxis (famed maker of ?The Sims? have been tempting, luring and seducing me into being the master of virtual people for many, many years. Ever since, in fact, the release of the first SimCity so many moons ago. Well things have changed a lot since then, machines have grown to be the size of small houses and crime is a thing of the past. Actually no it hasn?t, you?ve got me on that one, but games most certainly have developed, and knowing this may well have been what ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Welcome to SimNation! (Review on Deluxe edition) (1460 words)

This review is based on the Deluxe Edition of the game. Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition is the latest release in the increasingly popular Sim City series of games. The Deluxe Edition combines the original Sim City 4 with the Rush Hour expansion pack, which aims to add a lot more fun to traffic management in your city. Sim City 4 is published by EA Games and developed by Maxis (perhaps more well known for their Sims games, even though the Sim City series started a long time before the Sims began.) For those who have played previous Sim City games, Sim City 4 feels and plays like a more complex and better designed game to previous games in ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sim City 4 (PC): Welcome To The Big City... (465 words)
by - written on 27/11/09 (Very useful, 7 readings)
Rating:

My love of Sim games started with the likes of Sim Hospital and Theme Park, made by Bullfrog. Then, more recently Sim City 3000, and finally upto the modern day with Sim City 4. For anyone who's never heard of the series, as the name suggests Sim City 4 puts you in charge of a city, you are chief engineer, grand architect and mayor all rolled into one. Your pursuit of the perfect city starts with sculpting the terrain your metropolis will sit on. There are a selection of tools that between them raise and lower the land, add cliffs, Mesas, rivers and mountains. Whether you're looking for a thriving seaside city or a quiet mountain town, the choice ...  Read the complete review

Text mode is a great new feature Still too many bugs, finances are not realistic and managers still have fake names

Lots of Players, Always something to do, Really Addictive Monthly SubsServers Drop at 5am LOCAL TIME, so play a server local to you.Can be a little TOO addictive ;)

Graphics are still decent Boring, monotonous, doesn't retain the style of the original B&W

Excellent graphics, Great gameplay Maybe a bit too short

Better gameplay Still a couple of bugs in the software (maids that don't leave)
