 Sim City 4 Deluxe April 8, 2008
What an unbelievable game!!! It really lets you take control of whatever you want. The tutorials are good for getting you started, which is exactly what they were meant for. Not too short, not too long. The gameplay I felt was fantastic. Especially for the price. You just cant beat it. Start small and just watch your cities grow. There are alot of decisions to make which makes the game really appealing for me. Im also a big C&C fan and I felt the interface was very similar. Great buy for an ever better price!!!
Cool fun and even educational April 7, 2008
Sim City 4 Deluxe is a great strategy game with outstanding graphics and effects. It is fun for any skill level plkayer, even older children. It can even be a great learning tool into land usage, geography, economics and social studies. I can't stop once I begin playing.
4 Years Later and Still Going Strong March 4, 2008
I was a big fan of SimCity 2000, a huge player of SimCity 3000, and waited anxiously for months for SimCity 4 to come out in 2004. With the release of the Rush Hour expansion pack, the game was made that much better.
I've played this game for four years, and it's still as entertaining as it was when I first got it. Yes, it's a little complex. Yes, it's "hard" at times. But who hasn't played a first-person shooter where you can't get past the 4th level and it frustrates you? Balancing a budget and growth while still maintaining the crucial aspects such as transportation and public safety and education are at times addictive.
What really makes this game amazing is that it allows you, the user, to add what you want into the game through downloads. There are numerous websites that let you download buildings, car skins, new roads, more buildings, etc, and put them in your cities. It's for this that I say among SimCity fans, there are no two copies of SimCity 4 that are exactly alike and can always keep the game somewhat fresh.
There are some problems, of course. The more you add to the game, the more likely it is to crash. To fix this: save early, save often. Sometimes it doesn't make sense why the game won't let you do something like place a road here or a railroad there. I don't get it, but it takes some work to fix that.
The good news is that because it's a four year-old game, it runs fantastically on newer computers.
EA took a risk with SimCity Societies, and hopefully one day SimCity 5 will rectify this for us SC4 fans. (I haven't played SimCity Societies, so I can't Until then, SimCity 4 remains a fantastic game that proves a challenge and is still fun.
 Yep, its SimCity February 28, 2008
Okay so I hadn't play SimCity in a while before buying this game, and surprisingly it is exactly the same game I played when I was ten (that was eleven years ago). Besides bringing up memories which were pleasurable, this game was not that entertaining but mildly addictive until I built everything I could possibly build in two days. While it was difficult to maintain a city when I was ten, this time around I was given buildings from the happy citizens, and had completely run out of space to build and my city budget was still in the black. I tried to play rush hour but found that to be very irritating and stupid. The missions and controls were horrible. So if you enjoy a challenge and have never played any version of SimCity, this game is for you. But for me, until they make a new ground-breaking city simulator, I'll hold on to my money.
Cities are fun (sort of) February 24, 2008
This game is great but some previous experience with the other sim city games is recomended although, you don't have to. There is a training program in it but if you wanna jump right in then you might want to be familiar with the buttons. Also it is very easy to go into bankruptcy.
