I've always been hooked on the Sim City series. It's one of those "Either you like it, or you don't" type of games. I like it! This updated version features hundreds of innovations and breathes new life into the series. The construction tools are easy to use (mostly) and the "god" tools are just hours of fun! Probably the most useful feature of the game is the updated city advisors who regularly provide you with hints, tips and warnings on how to turn your city into a masterpiece. Be warned, once you get hooked entire days can pass without you even noticing it!
