Sim City 4 is going to be the first game in the series that will make players truly feel as if they are in control of everything. For the first time, players will have real God like power at their fingertips. The key feature which will give players goosebumps is the new 'landscape creation' feature. Now players can mold mountains, carve valleys, seed forests and even lay rivers! With these amazing new creation features, players will be able to construct some amazingly realistic cities (and some not so!), and have some great fun doing it. Here's a list of the other cool new features that will be in the game.
* Put Your Sim in Your City - Move your personalized Sim into your city and watch as he goes about his life. Will he enjoy a blissful existence in an urban utopia or fight for survival in an inner-city slum? Watch your Sim carefully--he will provide valuable clues to improving your city.
* Connect Your SimCities - Connect your cities by transportation networks to form a massive region of SimCities that share and compete for resources. Each choice you make can result in a variety of outcomes so be sure to delegate your resources wisely.
* Sculpt Your World - Breathe life into your city right from the start. Form mountains, carve valleys, plant forests and raise oceans. New landscape creation features give you unprecedented control to lay the groundwork for your ultimate city.
* Experience Life in the Big City - From mellow traffic flow to commuter hell, noontime crowds to nighttime calm, partygoers to troublemakers, the movement in your city is ever-changing and unpredictable.
* Touch Your Creation - Feel the pulse of your city in the most responsive, personal, and satisfying SimCity yet. Whether booming with expansion, decaying through neglect, or left abandoned, SimCity 4's new simulation engine gives you immediate feedback so you can react to its every need.
* Protect Your Sims - Dispatch police cruisers to fight crime, wrestle control of a tornado before it strikes, or cap an erupting volcano threatening your citizens. You have ultimate power at your fingertips but don't be surprised if your efforts have unforeseen results.
As you can see, there is enough excellent new features to make Sim City 4 a must for fans of the series and newbies alike. We'll have a more in-depth preview closer to release, so stay tuned.
