In SimCity 4, you don't just build your city, you breathe life into it. With god-like powers, sculpt mountains, gouge riverbeds, and seed forests to lay the groundwork for your creation. Your city comes alive with the hustle and bustle of construction crews, the snarl of traffic and the activity of your Sims. Build mansions on mountainsides, cross canyons with bridges, raise skyscrapers downtown, and compete for resources with neighboring SimCities.

The impact of your touch will be immediate but not entirely predictable. Cap an erupting volcano to save your city, but don't be surprised if lava explodes from another source. If your citizens burst into a panic, throw down barricades and dispatch the police. Will your actions calm the crowd or contribute to chaos? With every decision you make, your city and your Sims will respond for better or worse.

• Sculpt mountains, gouge valleys, seed forests, and bring forth animals to create a world imagined only by you
• Summon volcanoes, release tornadoes, and call down meteors and ligthening
• Place your Sims in your city to get the inside scoop on what life's really like around town
• Feel the rhythm of the city: mellow cruising and commuter hell, noontime crowds and nighttime calm
