The graphics are beautiful, but the game is really boring. It was a real disappointment when I bought the game. I really regret buying the game. I've read other (bad) customer reviews, but I thought they are wrong. They are not. Save money,do not buy this game! It is really hard to get any money. Everything is really expensive. Just buying a school and the budget turns into minus. It goes with everything, i.e. police station, electricity, hospitals etc.
You have to save money, but that's really a problem, because when you save on public safety, the crime rate goes up, or when you save on hospitals, the employees are going on strike.

I've never played a sims city game before till I played this and now I'm willing to buy it. The graphics are great and if you do things good in your cityyou can get a good population reviewers
The only problem in this game is that you get polution easliy even though there isn't really any thing you can do about it.Me and my uncle all ways play it to see who has the best city and I all ways do. Just read the manule and pay attesion in the game and you can have a great game

A good improvment the graphics are amazing, but they have pretty much given the same idea as before aside from all the high tech stuff its still the same as 3000 unlimted was. They should make more obstsacles and keep having more detail in home and bussineses like in the Sims.

I bought this game for my Power Mac G4. It was terrible -- not user friendly, a screen that jumps all over the place, etc. It is almost as if the developers -- Aspyr -- put a crappy game out there on purpose.
For instance, the tutorial asks the user to "right click," but MAC mouses only have one button!
I spent $40 on this game and it is unusable. It is the last one I buy with the Aspyr name on it.
difficult, but good graphics

this game has extremely good graphics, but i never got far enough to experience it, the game is far to difficult to get a solid city formed. after an hour growth stops even when u have neighboring cities. it is difficult to provide all of the necessary things your sims need, funding is extremely expensive for sturctures, and people seem to have difficulty getting jobs even though u have zoned industrial have transportation connections to it and all the other necessary things, u can get really high wealth people in your city quite quickly but they than leave very quickly as there are no jobs and ur city goes to ruins, the neigboring city interplay is a unique feature an could be enjoyable but it is to difficuly to balance the many cities as u need to save and go to the other city every 10 minutes because growth has stunted in your current city. overall i didnt like the game my computer could barely handle the graphics, i had the most fun making the maps, they should consider just using it as a map making program
I hate it.

I've tried playing this game many, many times. I can never stay in a positive cash flow situation. I love every Sim Game out there except this one. I gave it 2 stars because I love being able to zoom in so close and see all the people running around. Especially when I got a statue to me!
incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
