Before purchasing I read a lot of reviews by other users and asked several questions of the seller. I was concerned about running on Windows 10. Some users had problems with that. Anyway, since it was only $10 I decided to give it a shot. It runs well! I had the first SimCity 'way back when" and liked playing it. This is obviously a big improvement. It is also a nice change of pace from the "shooters" I like to play. When installing I got a message that my graphics card may not be good enough. Seriously? This game came out 5 years ago and I have a new computer with an excellent processor and graphics card. IT worked, the graphics are fine! I like the fact that I can play this game offline. Originally it could only be played online. Hint: if playing single player mode build your first city in an area that has natural resources such as oil. Read full review

I bought this knowing I have enjoyed SimCity in the past. I like that you can play online with others however it seems that you run into problems all the time. Either I run out of room to continue to build or I keep getting told I don't have enough works for my town. Also there were times when all I could do was sit and wait for my money to slowly add up so I could build something I needed. The game is not as fun as I was expecting as I get bored with it and find that I am just sitting and waiting instead of actually playing.

SO I have a 9 yr old son that is really into electronics, as an infant he slept with an old remote. At five he would help me build computers and I taught him how to format and install and OS. Now he does it like a pro on all of his own computers. He has an appreciation for what came before so he has a great collection of software and computer games. Sim city is his biggest collection of computer games. He has installed a version on every computer he has. I bough this one to put on my windows 10 computer but even though it installed it would not open. It did install on his windows 7 computer just fine and he was very excited about it. I was glad to find this new at such a great price.

This is not like the original SimCity in which you really needed to use the bulldozer tool to work and level the area you want to build as well as make sure you place water pipes underground etc. It is probably more fun for someone who doesn't have the patience to actually build and configure and watch the city grow the hard way. There are plenty of cheats if you want to make it even easier. When you feel like goofing off or just doing something mindlessly, this game is for you. Better graphics than the old one despite the fact that it is less challenging than the old one.

When shipped the game code had already been used by someone else. I had to wait an extra few days to get the problem resolved. It did get resolved and I am satisfied with the product.
