Anybody have Sim City 4?

[A Black Falcon]

There's a patch out for SC4 now, BTW.

SimCity 4 (IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4000!) is good looking, if you like SimCity games... its an improvement. While some city areas are smaller, it lets you build many cities at the same time in a world and have them trade with eachother... a really cool addition. Also, you can FINALLY build on hillisides... I thought it was so dumb in SC2K and 3K that you couldn't have houses on hillsides. Now you can. Also, editing the map before starting on a area is back... which is great, because that was sadly lacking in SC3K.

Unfortunately, they still haven't added enough disasters... (though destroying cities is fun, and I wish they had a lot more of them... :) ) Also, as far as I know scenarios (like in SC1 or SC2K) are still gone, just like in SC3K... unfortunate, they were great.

I won't get SimCity 4... (I know about it from reading online and watching my roommate here at college play it) SC3K was a bad purchase because the game bored me pretty fast (I should have gotten Baldur's Gate then, not a year later...)... it might be nice to have (as a gift or something), but for me I won't buy it... those games just aren't interesting enough. I'd rather play Warcraft 3 or Age of Wonders... :)
