Video Game Reviews of SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition

Customer Review: Mildly buggy but still fun
Summary: 3 Stars

This is about a week long into ownership of this game. I have frequent crashes to desktop so I have learned to save progress often. The game is immersive and I really enjoy it. It's not so hard to learn and it is very rewarding to play. Therapeutic in some ways. I am happy I bought it.

Customer Review: Awesome game for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great game from Maxis for the price it is selling at now. What makes it so great is not the product itself, but the amount of support that is available in the form of mods and new buildings, etc. made by designers from all around the world.

This one is a definite 5. Looking for a good fun game to spend your time? Then pick this one.

Customer Review: Still a good game even in 2008
Summary: 5 Stars

The only difference between games made today and games made 5 years ago are the graphics. And the graphics of SimCity4.0 aren't that bad - they certainly won't make you cringe like you were playing the original Oregon Trail (hey, another fun but really old game!).

The complexity of this game makes for a steep learning curve. However, that intricacy is what makes this game so fun and challenging. There is no real objective to this game except to keep building. It sounds stupid but once you start, you can't stop, except to occasionally sit back and admire your work.

If you've never tried SimCity before, then don't hesitate to give this one a shot. It's the only game of its kind (thats worth playing anyways). Now that Amazon has it for so cheap, there really is no reason not to pick up a copy.

Customer Review: fun and frustrating
Summary: 4 Stars

This game really stands up to the expectations I had for it. I LOVE that you can now create multiple cities that can interact with one another by making "neighbor deals".

I find the game quite frustrating when playing without using any cheats, but that's not a fault of the game, just that I haven't worked out the best city planning strategies yet.
