Title: Simcity 4: Prima's Official Strategy Guide by Greg Kramer ISBN: 0-7615-4001-6 Publisher: Prima Lifestyles Pub. Date: 05 November, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.4 (5 reviews)

Summary: Unfortunately a very weak and indescriptive manual
Comment: This manual is a very weak and nearly completely useless manual for newbies trying to tackle the scope of this complex game. The game itself is challenging enough but this manual only scratches the surface of what needs to be done in order to run a successful city. A dissapointment. The Simcity 4 "Rush Hour" expansion pack though corrects many of the mistakes of this older manual.

Summary: "Strategy" Guide - NO, Detailed "How To Play" Guide - YES
Comment: In terms of offering hints and tips on how to build your dream city, this guide offers very little. This book is essentialy 350 pages explaining all of the different features and gaming tools Sim City 4 has to offer. The book offers pages and pages of charts and tables that explain hom this city simulator works. But I would recommend playing the built in tutorials to learn how to play instead of wasting your money on book. The book offers little that you can't figure out on your own through playing the game, and I couldn't find a single "strategy" in the book that could help me with city layout and money management

Summary: A mediocre manual for this game
Comment: I've read this book in 1 weekend because I wanted to play this game. I've played Simcity 3 somewhat. This book describes more of how the game was 'written' (as in what the program looks for). If you are a beginner, it is not as helpful because it does not offer you the basic tips of how to play the games specifically, like the other review stated. I guess this book assumes that you are familiar with Simcity and went on from there.
On the positive notes, it covers many aspects of the game. It has a chapter for each topic (i.e pollution, traffic, demand, utilities, etc). But if you are looking for specific details for each subtopic in each chapter, it does not give you that on everything.
Overall, this book is helpful, but if you are a beginner, you might have difficulties following it. The best advice is play the game, and if you have any trouble with anything, find that section in the book, and you will understand it better.
