i liked this game, it had good graphics and the gameplay was good, yet it was EXTREMLY hard 2 keep the budget in control while keeping the sims happy, but i do recomend this game when the price goes farther down.
Crisp graphics, realistic simulator and hard to master

This version is very challenging in comparison to earlier ones, you¡¦ll really feel how hard it is to make your city grow and not loose your entire budget trying to do that. What makes it realistic even more is the ultra crisp graphics, the cosmic disasters mode where you can send down lightning, robots, meteors, or erupt a little volcano to doom your bankrupt cityº. You also need to learn how to make adjacent cities collaborate so the entire region may prosperous.
GREAT game!

First: I am not normally a gamer. A recent bout with the flu led me to purchase this game for entertainment. It is difficult at first for someone who has never played any of the Sims games, but being able to delete cities and then start over enables you to get better. Experimenting with raising taxes, different power sources, various civic buildings like schools, museums, and libraries; each of these brings different responses from your residents, and different problems. Its a game of strategy, and as your strategies become more effective it is great fun to watch your town grow. I would recommend this to anyone! Highly addictive.....
As for the problems listed in the other reviews: my sony vaio laptop runs this game great, and I have had no problems with it.
SimCity 4 Is the Best.

Well, I don't know how these people can rate a game that hasn't even been released yet. I don't have mine yet and I ordered it on January 4th 2003. Those folks must be special. Well, when I get mine I'll rate it and write a real review. I am looking forward to playing it soon. Love all older versions of SimCity. I'm sure this one won't let me down either.
Don;t blame Maxis, Blame EA!

Maxis has created the best computer games out there. Simcity, Simcity 2000, SimFarm, SimAnt, SimTower, Sim Copter, The sims etc. Up until when SC3000 was maid, Maxis did their first bad mistake, join with EA. I'm sure if maxis was still working alone, this game would have been a huge succes. Don't think Maxis is sinking, they still have their skill. And, chances are you are probably having trouble with this game, I suggest you download the patch on SimCiTY.COM

This gamae looks so cool. The disasters look cool,the buildings look cool. The whole game looks cool. I can't wait until it comes out. If you linke SimCity 3000, you'll love SimCity 4.

This is one of the best games I have ever played. I love it because of all the new features and all the cool stuff. I like the disasters and the control. The Creation of a big city is stuff and fun. The Meteor Showers are really cool. For a weird effect. Cause a valcano on the shore of any water source. I like making lighting twisters and trains. One time a city of mine, with 25,000 population, I caused a disaster swarm. The disasters are my favorite part. When you build a big city with rapid fires, just build a covering fire dept. I like making the disasters occur. That's all!
