After having played this game for a few months, I have to say it’s not that replayable. There are only a few maps and many of the locations are the same, just a big piece of flat land. The most interesting locations are in the Granite Lake maps, but unfortunately it’s the only one with so many interesting locations. Once you figure out how to solve the traffic issue, the game gets pretty boring.—I have been playing SimCity since its very first version. This is by far the most beautiful SimCity ever released, both in terms of graphics and music.I understand that it’s more “simplified” and that’s fine as it was starting to get too complicated for me.My only gripe is that I don’t understand why the maximum resolution is so low. It doesn’t look as great as it could on my 27” iMac.If you want a complex game where you micro-manage everything, this is not for you. But if you want a streamlined, beauitful game, definitely get it.—Update: Since the update, I have noticed more and more bugs. I am not sure if they already exist in the previous version or not but I noticed them recently. I hope they get fixed soon so the game is more playable.

I don’t know why so many people don’t like this game or why so many people are having problems with it crashing. I have owned this game for a while now and it never crashed once. Maybe their computer is too old or the operating system is too old. I have played all Sim City games and the first one was kinda fun but was horrible to todays standards and the graphics were extremely blocky. Sim City 2000 was a huge improvement and I played that game so much when I was growing up. I will be honest I never played Sim city 3000 but, watched a friend play it and he did not enjoy it at all. He prefered Sim City 2000. When I bought Sim City 4 I thought that game was amazing! the graphics were much better and the game play was much better and for a while I played it just about every day. Now Sim City Complete Eddition is by far the best, even though my version of Sim City 4 won’t work on my new computer and I kinda miss it. It is fairly easy to play but, can get a little complicated at times. My favororite part is building the megatowers. Building the VU Tower and taking normal sims and converting them into criminals is fun. Watching the VU Mobile go by and creating chaos is kinda fun too.I hope this review is helpful for most people

I was surprised by the low score and I gave it a try anyway and I am very happy that I did. I just love this game. I've spent WAY too much time playing it. It's very addicting. I think for an older game the graphics are still really good and I love zooming in and watching people move around my city. I think that while not perfect the tutorial is pretty good and it does a pretty good job of explaining the details of the game. I think there are a good variety of maps. I love the ability to have multiple cities in the same map, because you can share resources and you can make one city more industrial and one more touristy etc. I think the ability to individually customize the buildings after placing them is really cool. I'm used to the old school SimCity where you just plopped it and it was done, but being able to add little things like flags, signs and then the modules is really cool. I'm sure there are many things I've forgotten to mention. My point is that I highly recommend this game. I think it was some of the best $20 I've ever spent. If you like SimCity or city building games then definitely give this a try!

I was really excited for this game, and admittedly visually it looks great, but there’s two major problems with the game.The building area for your cities is really small IMO. You’re going to struggle to fit everything into some of these areas in order to get a self sufficient city. Now this version of SimCity has a regional aspect to it where you can build other cities and they specialize in certain things so theoretically that should solve the playing area dilemna.Except it doesn’t. This version of SimCity was stupidely designed around online play and this is where the second problem arises. Interacting with other cities and specializations just doesn’t work in the offline version because while you are working in your city nothing is happening in the other cities which all react to each other. I’ll spend an hour in one city making it perfect, then head over to my first city only to find everyone left and all the residential is vacant because no one was adding services while the other city became desireable.
