SimCity 4 offers complicated budget, business, and transit systems along with the expected (and great) gameplay of the SimCity series. Getting the stubborn 'sims' to follow your lead, however, is a tricky assignment. Any buffoon can destroy a city with the help of tornados, Godzilla, or a flood. The genius of SimCity, however, has always involved what you, as the mayor/god, can't control. The SimCity series makes ruling a world fun, even for people not obsessed with delusions of grandeur.
