Maxis pulled out all the stops for this version of the bestselling game, adding enough customized graphics to re-create cities from around the world. The new European and Asian building sets serve up hundreds of buildings that match the architecture of these diverse environments. From the Great Wall to the Berlin Wall, it's in there. Of course, you can still mix and match--freedom to run a city as you choose has always been the name of this game.

Great for those like me with a older system.

If you have XP it may not work. Try SimCity 4

There are still aspects to this game I haven't tried yet such as the Building Architect and Scenario Creator features. I started out with SimCity 2000 and while that one has way more cities on it to play I have to say that I prefer this one more simply because it was more realistic in its graphics. However there is now a SimCity 4 and that would be even better. I really enjoyed the differnt challenges that happen while playing the scenarios. Because it was more realistic than SimCity 2000 I actually had to think of more than one solution for almost each problem.
