For this week's post, I would like to talk about one of the most popular city planning game, Sim City 4. In this game, the player fills the role of a city's mayor. The main point of the game is to create a city. However, I feel that this game is not an easy game to play. It requires planning. After I have played this game for a while, I feel that sprawl is the only way to create a city in this game. There are three main zoning areas in the game: residential, commercial, and industrial. In order to create a profitable community ( the city gets more money than it spends) player will have to rely on the creation of a sprawl community. Many blocks of residential area surrounding an elementary school, a clinic, and a fire department. The commercial and industrial area will be mainly built away from the residential area. Public transportation is really hard to implement in a city as its maintenance cost is pretty high. If anyone is wondering what the game look like, this is the gameplay video from Youtube. This video is titled, "Sim City 4 Tutorial Your first city." This video teaches new player on how to create the first city, which is usually the hardest.
