(addition of choseable scenarios are great way to start level you like to play)

Gameplay :

The core thought of SimCity is to construct and format a metropolis(which means city obviosly) besides particular dreams to achieve. The participant can also do a lot of different activities like divide land into commercial, industrial, or residential zones, add buildings, alternate the tax rate, construct a electricity grid, construct transportation structures and take any different movements to beautify the city.

(game changed a lot over numbers of years,source -=-)

The Sims make these picks based totally on such elements as visitors levels, availability of electrical power, crime levels, and proximity to different sorts of buildings—for example, residential areas subsequent to a energy plant will seldom recognize the very best grade of housing.

Summary :
