SimCity 4

It is a nice game, because it has very cool graphics and a great concept, though according to Wikipedia, it was "...rather rushed.". However, the lesson I have learn from this game is that before you build massive welfare project, you have to deal with debt and taxes first and to maintain a stable economic growth. In my several cities, I have tried to build and maintain welfare for all and make sure that I keep law and order, but eventually, I plunged my cities into financial chaos multiple times. If you want to play this game, one thing you should remember is, as I mentioned before, to slowly build and progress through rather than immediately build things. Otherwise, it is a pretty nice game.

This is a great game if you like building cities.You can do whatever you want to your city.

A W E S O M E ! If you like Simcity and The Sims, buy this! It does have shooting, gambling, but it is fun. Plus: you could build the Empire State Building! Plus: get Area 51 with UFO. You can even get an Army Base and get military transports. WARNING: It sounds like they the the "D word" sometimes. Note: even though it says 2 and up, I even think a baby can play it if they know how to play video games. Welp, I say it rocks, and is better than The Sims. You can even make sims in it!

A great city simulator, and the worst content I can think of is in the Rush Hour expansion where you can drive tanks and army jets and you can fire shells which can potentially destroy your city. Also, when a nuclear power plant catches fire or gets to old, it blows in a large nuclear explosion. You can take the game up to a new level on sites like Simtropolis where you can download thousands of free, custom content for Simcity.

It is a great game for all ages. I have been playing ever since it came out and now I have basically mastered the game. I recentally installed it for my brother (7) and he likes to destroy his city more then build it, but that is part of the fun. It has a simulated buget system and you have to keep track of it, otherwise you will get recalled and mayor!

This game is non-violent (however, the disaster such as giant robots and earthquakes are there), interesting and educational. I will allow my young brother to play it.

Okay

fun game. gets you to think about how cities work. after a while you start to learn how different parts of the city work together. sure disaster can strike the city, however, there are no death tolls, just how much it will cost to rebuild. the only reason i say 10 and up is the complexity.
