OK, nevermind.  It comes out on January 14th.  

Let me tell you.  It kicks freaking ass.

I\'d go into details about the game, but then people would assume that I\'m playing it right now and I could get screen shots and stuff and I just can\'t have that.

I’m so excited about this game.  I have been monitoring SimCity4.com regularly for updates.  The screen shots are amazing.  The thought of night falling on my Sims and watching my city light up.  You can also import your Sims.  Also the technology behind this game is impressive, its said that an individual Sim can find his or her way to the particular job they work.

You can also guide Meteors in on your city!  Is any one has not checked out the screenshots it’s a must Here they are.

I\'ve never been into the sim games but liked some sim-type theme park game my sister had.  What\'s so cool about building a city?  Is it open-ended like GTA where anything can happen or is it just the challenge of managing a huge metropolis?  And is there online play to challenge a handsome internet nerd such as myself?

Videoholic give us the demo, are you holding out on us???

Really neat.  THere are now elementary schools and high schools

When you drop a school a big ring goes around it telling you the coverage area.  Then you can spend more/less money for bussing and the ring changes.  Very cool.

There are so many adds I don\'t know where to begin.

You start off with a HUGE map with a grid on it.  You can then create your city on your grid.  So you can have a metropolis of 30-40 cities when you are done.  Very neat.

Man, I\'ve been waiting for Sim City 4 since Sim City 3000 came out.  I hope SC4 has the building creator in it.  I love starting in early times, making lots of cash and then progressing through time.

I hate trying to fix the tax issue though, it\'s never just right, either people are complaining, or the government says they are too low.  Oh well, the second someone gets a review on this I must read it.

THe game is hard as hell.  I haven\'t seen much with any building creator in it.  

You can zoom in real tight.  It\'s pretty cool because when construction is going on there are little people in the buildings doing all of the construction.

Also when there is a fire, all the people working in the building run out in the street.  Very funny.

I have yet to make it very many years.  Tough getting the budget up where you make money.  I guess I just don\'t have the patience and I build too fast.

I really like it.. But its way harder than 3000.. I dont know how many times Ive gone bankrupt already..

I like the idea of the big map and that you can controll several cities at once..

Great but hard game.

Yeah, the large map is fntastic.  And then you can link the cities together.  So you could have whole towns based on agriculture (Yes, low industry is now agriculture.  There are farms and everything).

Damn I suck though.  Once people get good cities up and running we should trade towns.

Got this game, FANTASTIC...

I don\'t like the auto road thing though.

Yeah, the auto road sometimes puts them in crappy places, but it\'s needed since it divides the low medium and high to what they need to be.  I wish the roads would match up better though.

I do like when you put a road in a road construction truck puts the road down rather than it just appearing.  That\'s pretty cool.

Yeah, I wish I had a real 3-D card.  I can\'t really go into the close layer because it slows it down.  Pretty much sucks.  I wish it was true 3-d in that you could scroll down to street level like they promoted years ago with sim city 3000.  Kind of like with warcraft 3.

If you ever get a viable city let me know.  I\'d love to see it.  I can\'t get a city to take hold.
