The build and management options are much more varied, and SimCitizens are much more intelligent about the way they build and manage property. They're still there, just easier to manage. The final result is a much slicker game that is every bit as much fun to play as the previous versions, with more options and abilities at your disposal. Improved graphics, more detailed buildings, extra zoom levels. You can now watch traffic and citizens wander around the city.
Many more options are available, and certain ones, like water and power, are easier to manage.
Landmark and historical buildings are a very nice touch. Advisors are more useful, and news is more easily accessible. Fans of the series should love the improvements. Copyright 1999 Electric Games. All rights reserved worldwide.
