I would not really say this is a spoiler as such. Apart from accidentally erasing one of your own cities, how can you spoil something you ultimately create yourself? This is more a tool for people to create their own urban masterpieces than something to sit and watch.<br/><br/>As a piece of visual art, SimCity 4 (SC4) is an excellent piece of work and a piece of interactive entertainment (this is more than a game), it is easy to learn but can be difficult to master. There is so much to keep your eye on and it is not easy pleasing all of your Sims all of the time without bankrupting your city treasury.<br/><br/>From the furthest zoom where you can see your city overall down to even looking down on a city street and seeing Sims going about their business, the graphics are excellent. They are also relative to what you have in that area too. Chaingangs near jails, soldiers near army bases, business people in your commercial regions, children near schools. Also, when day gradually turns to night, you see the streetlights go on and the road vehicles turn their headlights on also.<br/><br/>Soundwise, the different areas of your city have the appropriate noises. In an industrial area, you will hear the sound of factories hard at work. In a farming region, you may hear the sound of animals and if you have an army base, you will hear your troops training.<br/><br/>As I said before, there is so much to consider but it is worth working on and sticking with. Also, with a large online community fan base, there is always something new for you to add to your game to either make it easier to play or even more realistic.<br/><br/>The De Luxe Version even has more to it and I recommend that even more. Now I have said how much I like it, please excuse me while I get back to the work of being a Sim mayor and deal with the gridlock in my inner city. great game. you build a city… great sense of control and power and stuff. great music, graphics etc. quite entertaining… has a different feel to 2000 and 3000 and classic… not a bad one, but could use some improvements like full 3d vision (being able to view your city from different angles like from ground level and from tops of skyscrapers and stuff'd be cool) and more choices and stuff… great game. fun for hours and all that. one problem is no region terraforming tools and the reconcile edge tool is lametarded… creating smooth flowing landscape between cities is hard… but allround great game. pity they never made simcity 5… cos from what I've heard of 'societies' it sucks.
