SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition UK review

By cw888 posted 5th Aug 2010

Simcity 4 is the latest game and hopefully not the last of the great Simcity franchise. No, I do not consider Societies as part of the Simcity franchise, Societies shouldn't have the Simcity name in front of it in the first place.

Whilst many people would vote Simcity 2000 with SCURKS(user custom made buildings) as the best Simcity ever, I would consider Simcity 4 with B.A.T.S.(user custom made buildings) equally as epic or maybe better.

Like in all Simcities, you build a city of your dreams. Whether it's a quaint little town or a bustling, busy metropolis. To get anything resembling a dense, large city, you have to work for it. You have to keep your Sims happy, educate them, provide them with clean water, supply them with electricity, provide good healthcare, making a great transportation system which includes a network of roads, trains, subways, bus system, highways etc, enact ordinances, resolving disasters, providing security through police and fire fighting capabilities. All the while looking after your treasury and ensuring you do not go bankrupt. All in a days work for a mayor to be, you.

Also you have to aware of your population's demands, if you have many residents, be sure to pop up enough jobs for them. This is where Simcity 4's Region Play come into scope. You will have, at times, to support your main city with several neighbouring cities like for example building Industry zones in your neighbouring city if you do not want your main city to have Industry.

Seeing the first level 8 Commercial Office tower pop up in one of your cities is one of the most satisfying game experiences ever.

And last but not least, the best part of Simcity 4, the B.A.T.S. which are user-made buildings, props and landmarks. There are probably about thousands of BATs to use in Simcity 4 in Simtropolis, enough to make any city of your dreams, any real-life city, making the possibilites in the game limitless. Here's a link to some of the popular BATS:

And just a great example of what type of cities can be made with BATs:

You can even make your BATs yourself. You will need to know at least alittle about 3D Modelling, if not there are several tutorials in Simtropolis to get you started. The other great part of the game, is making BATs yourself and seeing other players use your buildings in their cities.

All in all, Simcity 4 is a great experience which is why I bought it here even though my boxed copy is still in pristine condition after 7 years.
