SimCity 4

"...this is without a doubt the best SimCity game so far. It is highly addictive and, as always, it has a very strong replay value."

"SimCity 4 represents a culmination of player suggestions and developer innovation, all done in a streamlined title that hasn’t lost its focus. By providing an impressive level of detail in a game where detail is essential, and by including intuitive enhancements to the player experience, this is one title that should easily land on the “must have” list for any gamer."

"Be prepared to invest your time, money and emotion into the best version yet."

"The series undoubtedly has ever-lasting appeal to those who dedicate the time to explore the many facets and strategies hidden away beneath the surface, and SC4 is set to continue this tradition more than ever. There is already a legion of admirers willing to pour their lives into creating ever more impressive cityscapes, and Sim City 4 seems to provide a just-about-significant enough advancement in the series to satisfy our needs for now."

"...we couldn't have asked for much more than has been delivered, and I doubt Maxis could have done much more with a formula that they've improved upon time and again. Of course the novelty inevitably wears off just as it does with any game of its kind, and it really pigs out on your system resources, but Sim City 4 does a damn fine job of stealing your life for as long as it possibly can, just like the old days, and thank goodness for that."
