Advantages: Gameplay IS possible- just very hard Disadvantages: Slow loading, space wasting, not fun
Oh no, Simcity!!! Definitely not the best Sims games around! Unfortunately, you have SO much to take control of in the game it is almost impossible!!! Unfortunately, the load times are slow as well! That is probably my biggest pet hate with computer games, when they dont run as fast as they should! As with all of the Sims games, this one takes up a lot of hard drive space which then results in EVEN slower game play due to pressure it puts on the computer, and if you are thinking of un installing the game, think again. You will have that many hidden files and program settings still on your computer you may as well have kept the game! I am sure there are people out there who enjoy this game, but compared to the other sims games, i just dont think it is up to scratch! Definitely wouldn't reccommend this title! ...

*** 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, SimCity 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 masses of space and drain your memory, and small elements of the game can still become irritating, but on the whole it is fantastic fun and will keep you amused for ages. Comes with the delawney seal ...

Advantages: Extremely realistic and has lots of things to keep you busy for a long time. Disadvantages: Can get very repetitive every time you start a new city.
Background Information
SimCity was first released in 1989. It was the first computer game simulation to allow the creation of a city and its inner workings. Players could build their own utopias of whatever size they wished, i.e. a small fishing village or a giant metropolis. Since then, however, new, improved games have followed carrying on the legacy of Will Wright?s SimCity. The new improvements that come with SimCity 4 are: the region screen (which is similar to the neighbourhood screen if you?ve ever played The Sims) where you can select a plot of land to build on, God Mode and My Sim Mode (more about these below), and the ability to add real world landmarks to your city.

God Mode helps to add a whole new level of customisation to SimCity. Among ...
