This will be published by EA, so expect lots and lots and lots of DLC, widely varying pre-order bonuses, DLC obtained through social games and iPad apps etc.

I liked SimCity 2000 the best, not sure why but there was just something addictive about it.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The user-created content took SimCIty 4 to a level of excellence; it will be some time before SC5 reaches it. I'll be waiting impatiently, though  :cool:

Just to nit-pick - they did NOT say the name was Sim City 5.  I don't think they announced the formal name, instead just calling it "the enxt Sim City".

I actually found it strangely un-addictive.  The lack of goals is a fatal flaw for me, there is something about clear and credible goals that really gets me going.

I actually side with Tim on this one. I loved me some SimCity2000 but haven't cared for the series since then.

None of the later games have been better than SC2000.

I had the original SimCity on 3.5" diskette.  I liked the Godzilla. RaWR.

I had the SimCity graphics set on diskette. I liked the Moon.
