SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition by Aspyr

One problem solved.

Written by AM from New York

I have both 1 GHz and 1.67 GHz 17-inch PowerBooks and these games are a complete joy to play. I have been reading about how the game can slow down when your city gets larger. This is true for me as well. I hope they can fix this little flaw in the near future. Also, you CAN play this game without the CD being in the drive. Load the game as you normally would and when the region screen shows, eject the disc and you're off to the races. It works for both SimCity 4 and Rush Hour. Somehow, the computer stores the information on the HD, allowing one to play for as long as you keep the game going (Not quiting the game). You can even pause the game and put the computer to sleep and the game will start back up when you wake the computer. I have played the game like this for over a year and have not had a problem in this respect. So, go out and buy this game. It is well worth it.

Written by AC from Newport Beach

Hey guys,

I had the exact problems. I have a macbook pro 2.88ghz with 4gbs ram and sim city was keep freezing. I changed the setting on graphics, instead of hardward try software. I did that and now it works perfectly fine without freezing.

Thanks

Great Game

I taught this game as part of an Advanced Technology class (high school), 20 individual Mayors dealing with city issues is too much fun. Other components taught with this game were Google Earth (finally for MAC) structure of city government and mapping skills, a mini-lesson on the highway system. Also field trips when construction is occurring are a must and learning to listen to city noises.

Great game.

Plan to add podcasting and blogging next school year, daily SimCity4 News Reports.

Tons of fun and sleepless nights may follow!!

I have always loved SimCity, I can even remember when it first came out for PC back in the 90's and I spent countless hours building and tweaking my city, and I could never seem get enough of this game. SimCity 4 for mac is exactly the same as my pc game, which is very helpful, because I don't have to learn to play it. The difference now is when I play its faster at rendering on my imac (I use a 20'' imac, with 2 GB memory).

It is such a neat game, Sims go to work and say 'ho hum' and talk sim language and you can get into the details as much or as little as you want. I like to start building from scratch and I like to send my Sims on assignment. If you like any of the Sims games, you will really like SimCity 4, the possibilites and scenarios are endless in this game.

Bottom line - it is awesomely fun and addictive. Highly recommend it and worth the price.

A Legacy Game that remains entertaining!

When I was a kid I grew up playing SimCity you know back when it had really bad graphics and was one of the first games I purchased back in the day when I became a mac user.

Following installation of Snow Leopard I decided to put some games back on my computer and came across my Sim City 4 CD's that had been sitting in my old laptop bag for who knows how long.

Happy to see it running just as it used to. So disregard the reviews saying it doesn't work on Intel Machines cause well im sitting here playing it just fine and dandy!

This is an amazing game, with amazing graphics (compared to Sim City 3000.).It's very addictive, considering the fact that I've played it for about 6 months and I still love it.If you like being in charge, building cities, and a nice strategy game, Sim City for is for you!

Best SimCity ever.

Written by JM from Cork

Jun 21, 2009

Really great. Running on my 5 years old Power Book G4 1.5Mhz / 2GB Ram and its ok :-)
Expansion pack is great and smooth. Hope that mistake with "Sim City Societes" will be followed soon by proper Sim City 5!!!

Until then buy this one. There is already a few games trying to be like "Sim City" but still not good enough.

SimCity forever :-)

This game is amazing. I had simcity 3000 for windows and this version just blows it out of the water. Some people say they've been having problems with the game but I have the newest macbook with 3 GB RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor and haven't had any problems. The game does lag slightly but its nothing unexpected. If you have the new silver or white macbook or better, you aren't likely to have any problems with this game.

The game is great on my mac. Its a bit slow, but I can deal with it. When I took it over to my friends house, it ran horribly. So make sure you know you have everything.

Since this application is not Universal, it will not work with Snow Leopard. You can try the Universal Update patch from the Aspyr website.

A lot of things in one box

Written by KS from Sparta

This game is so fun! I love how you can also install plugins to the game to make it even more customizable.

In this game you act as a mayor of a city that you can create the shape of the land for(AKA: Customize the land forms). You must manage the city budget, build a transportation network for your citizens or "sims", and many more things in this game.

It comes complete with many tutorials and the ability to create your own regions for different people(Ex.: one region for person). Anyone who likes to build, destroy(you can also create simulated disasters such ac a tornado or a volcano eruption) places, or just be in control of just about anything, I HIGHLY recomend this game!

I've been a Sim City Junkie for years, and was just as impressed with this release as the ones before it. They really create a city building challenge that takes a bit of skill. Overall, it's great, but not complete without the Rush Hour Expantion Pack

really great creative game

Written by DB from Newton

May 13, 2008

Simcity is a game that doesn't really have any objectives. You're basically given a piece of land, and you try to make it into a successful metropolis. Something like this could get old quickly, but luckily this game is full of tons of stuff to add to your city, and you can even download extra buildings from simtropolis.com

One thing to watch out for is the system requirements though, since if you have an older computer it might have trouble with this game.
