| | SimCity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | SimCity 4 also makes an attempt at multiplayer gaming with the ability to share regional maps and cities with other players, allowing players to collaborate, but not play in real time. | | | The objective of SimCity, as the name of the game suggests, is to build and design a city, without specific goals to achieve (except in the scenarios, which typically require the player to achieve a certain population or bank balance in a given period of time). | | | A screenshot of SimCity on the Atari ST |

| | SimCity 4 for PC Review - PC SimCity 4 Review |
| | All this is not to say SimCity 4 is a fast-paced game, because you can play it at the rate you want. | | | SimCity was challenging and plausibly realistic and even had a surprising amount of humor, especially for a game with a seemingly mundane subject. | | | SimCity 4, like its predecessors, succeeds at being an active, hands-on game where there's usually something interesting you can be doing. |

| | SimCity 4 - ESCMag Review |
| | SimCity 4 rewards players who are patient and attentive enough to run their growing towns on the barest of necessities, building up their infrastructures so that they can add essential services only when necessary. | | | SimCity 4 provides tools to lift, carve, flatten, erode, flood and renew the terrain as the player chooses, and even goes to the extent of offering a variety of wild animals to populate the soon-to-be-civilized wilderness. | | | Building on the genre-building premise of its predecessors, SimCity 4 provides players with the chance to nuture their mayoral skills, building a tiny hamlet into a thriving metropolis. |

| | SimCity 3000 is a game that struggled, at first, to find an identity. | | | Maxis continued to evolve SimCity with SimCity 2000, which was a huge jump from the original game, and has recently released the next evolution, SimCity 3000. | | | Many in the press were left wondering what Maxis was attempting to do with the franchise as the original concept of the game took it into a ground level 3D world. |

| | SimCity Essay |
| | SimCity is a very different kind of computer game from Gabriel Knight or Myst. | | | Closer to the truth is the setup in Populous, where you're simply God - omnipotent (within the rules of the game), omniscient, and omnipresent. | | | Playing SimCity is a very different experience from playing an adventure game like King's Quest. |

| | Unfortunately, SimCity is often seen as more than a game: SimCity, in all of its versions, shows up in classrooms, research papers, and (rumor has it) planning offices around the country. | | | We're not alone -- SimCity is now in its fourth iteration (Windows users can even play the original SimCity online for free.), and continues to be a steady selling game. | | | Simulation games like SimCity are valuable because they give a peek at the complex relationships between cause and effect in big systems such as cities. |

| | SimCities have rewarded the player for good city design, rather than punishing for a bad one. | | | As in previous SimCities, the current city can be connected to neighboring ones, but of course now the player has control over those neighbors. | | | SC3000 was a slight step backward, forcing the player to take a very active hand in the city. |

| | IMG Review: SimCity 4 |
| | A new and welcome addition to SimCity game play is that of regions which are divided into many plots of land for potential city locations, enabling the players to establish different types of communities on one region map to strike deals and share resources. | | | Features that would have made the game more accessible to new players, such as difficulty levels, are curiously absent from SimCity 4. | | | The tutorial and manual show you what you can do in the game, but they give no clue as to what the game looks to the player as a civic engineer or provide any insight into the simulation and its decision-making processes. |
