The SimCity games have always been great. This new part to the series is no exception. The overall gameplay is much like the others in the series except with further detail and more power over the little things. Gameplay is involved and keeping your city "afloat" is a hard thing to do. It requires some getting used to, something different from the seemingly easier cities of past SimCity games. The whole idea of gaining population size, happiness and keeping a good budget keeps you hooked though. The graphics of the game are superb. I recall SimCity 3 being a big improvement over SimCity 2000 and SimCity 2000 over the original. There is once again no exception to this with SimCity 4 over SimCity 3. The graphics are seemingly becoming more and more real and more and more detail is being added. The sounds of the game are great. At the more zoomed out levels you will hear blowing wind as if you were high in the skies as portrayed at this zoom level. Zoom closer to the city and you will hear the everyday sounds of a living city. Zoom in even closer to school areas and military areas and you will hear the respective actions of the close buildings. The music is also quite catchy and becoming accustomed to the jazzy styles known in Sim games is always an easy task. I have received lots of gameplay out of this game and always get the urge to load it back up and play it some more. This is always a sign of a good game when you can play it after your other games get boring. Overall, I can highly recommend this game to anyone. It is a very interesting addition to the SimCity Series and one that will carry no exception to the success. My calculated GameSpot score is a 9.5. Happy SimCity-ing!
