Publisher's Description
From Aspyr Media:
The long-awaited 4th generation of the game SimCity, SimCity 4, features new simulation and graphics engines, new regional game play and the new ability to track the lives of individual Sims as they go about their daily routine, SimCity 4 is the most realistic, powerful and personal SimCity experience ever. Right from the start, players experience new God-like powers of creation as they lay the groundwork for their cities by molding mountains, carving valleys, seeding forests and laying rivers. With these new landscape creation features, players can now construct the most realistic metropolis imaginable. Each city a player creates becomes part of an ever-growing tapestry of municipalities that, once connected by transportation networks, share and compete for resources. Depending upon the choices made by a player, this multi-city game play can result in a variety of outcomes within that region. For the first time ever, players can follow a Sim as they go about their life in the city. Players can personalize their Sim and immediately move him or her into any area and watch them experience life in the city, first hand. Is he or she enjoying a happy existence in an urban utopia or enduring a futile fight for survival in the inner-city?
What's new in this version:
- Fixed additional compatibility issues with various ATI video cards
- Fixed incorrectly colored buildings and other objects
- Fixed problems with terrain highlighting
- Changed game to alleviate problems related to the region screen showing incorrect city thumbnails or holes in the terrain. Users may need to revisit a city and re-save it in order for city thumbnail to be correctly displayed in the region screen.

"Does not work!"
Version: SimCity 4 1.0.2
Pros
I have no idea, as I can't play the game for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Cons
It shuts off and crashes my computers after 5 minutes of play.
Summary
I received this in a boxed set of 5 SimCities games, none of which work. The game shuts off after 5 minutes or less of play (on Windows 7, Windows Vista and on my sister's Windows XP). I've tried it on 3 computers (all of which exceed the minimum required specs per their readme file). I had my hubby double check and neither of us can figure out why. I wish I would have read reviews first, as this is apparently a really common problem. I got it for Christmas without a receipt (and don't really want to ask for it), so I'm just going to pitch it.

"Just doesn't work."
Version: SimCity 4 1.0.2
Pros
none. 10 character limit eh.
Cons
Doesn't work. It downloads a file with "update" in the name, so I don't think this is the game; maybe it's a patch. So why don't they say so in the description? I just hate it when software makers dick their users around like this.
Summary
don't bother with this.
