I don't know why the other reviewers were having trouble with this game. I loved it. You have to keep in mind that this is a type of game for people who like to take their time, it's not an action game! For those who like the city building genre, it is the best one out there. The sheer variety in buildings and objects makes you want to sit back after playing for a while and just observe all that is happening in the city you created.
With the coming expansion pack, it looks like the game will get even better.
Play GOD!!!!

This game is so much fun to play. I have all the Sims games and I am a grandmother. My grandkids and I enjoy all the Sims. I recommend it for all grandmothers and grandfathers that have a lot of time on their hands.

wazz up fellow gamer, this game the highlite for about a week. untill i found out that it left me with a little bit of memory. i tried to download a game. my computor told me that o didn't have enouth memmory. i had to redo all my old files that sim city 4 delated to be playable. i sold it to my friend who claims that my computor is slow, but i don't think that was the problem.
the game itself is fun. but make sure your hardrive has enough memmor to hold this large game. hope this heped in advance. maxis good game. but takes up a lot of memmory.
Ok but very large

Hello fello gamers. I love sim games a lot. This one takes up a lot of memmory on your computor. I had a 5 games on my computor. SC4 made me get red of them all. The game is fun but make sure you have a good hardrive.
Good game, but gets old.

Like most Sim games, this game is really fun and fascinating at first (the amount of detail itself is just amazing) but gets repetitive over time. Takes some patience.
Ya right.

To the person who was upset when the game crashed under an 8 mb graphics card.
Upgrade. I doubt you'll find any new game that works with an 8 mb graphics card - you haven't even been able to buy such a weak card for years.
Thats like trying to play a CD on a record player.
Gets better as you learn it

I've played Sim City since the 2nd iteration, and the Sims until I finally got bored (though Unleashed did add some fun with the dogs & cats).
SimCity4 is NOT the old Sim City, and at first that's a terrible negative. The strategy you use to play it is different; for us bleeding-heart liberals it's tough to build a city with no schools or medical centers until you get enough people to support them, and building comes much slower than the old game.
Once you learn how different this game is, and accept that they've sold out some of the playfulness of the old game for better graphics and more serious strategy, it's not bad at all. Takes a while to learn how to build a city without cheating or taking out enough loans to eventually kill your budget trying to repay them, but I've gotten there and the gameplay is enjoyable enough.
It's not as addictive as the old games, though, and soon enough I will find myself battling with Age of Mythology again, trying to kill off my opponent there as therapy for the frustrations of Sim City 4.

I was very disappointed in this game. Several things bothered me about the new look. One was the lack of depth and color in the game. Everything had a washed out look. Also, it is impossible to re-terrain on a small scale. That was always the thing that I liked best about the Sim City series. I'm not impressed with this version at all.

this game is not for those casual gamers i searched day and night for web cheats which by the way do exist but it was the only way too beat the game its a challenge for the designers id wager if any one can actully make a city that makes money i applaud you my friend but its nearly impossible at least win you do lose horribly you can call down lightning or youre choice of a nice variety of effects to punish the misbigotten ones including volcanoes alliens and earthquakes then sit back and watch the pitiful fire fighters try too but out the destruction! HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA

the Simcity series has always been fun and challenging.
SimCity 4 is the best yet.
the graphics are awesome and the new ways to interact with your city and it's inhabitants are SOooo totaly cool!
