Okay, just curious. Which SimCity was the worst one? SimCity was brilliant. I played that thing to death on my Amiga 500. Sim City 2000 was classic too, I still play it.
I got SimCity 3000 the week it came out. I was pretty disappointed I couldn't play it in a window like I could the previous games. I was really disappointed with having to deal with garbage as well. I understand that garbage is something a city deals with, but.. BORING.
SimCity 4 seems to have removed garbage but added water pollution and traffic annoyances. I'm not even sure that cities actually DO deal with water pollution. Either way, the piping system in SimCity 2000 was much, much better than the simplified yet pollution oriented model that SC4 has. It seems that they added a level of complexity to the situation with pollution while eliminating the SC2k style water management that would have made it easier to deal with.
The traffic thing in SC4 seems to be a matter of forcing the player to go back and replace the standard zoning roads with the streets that have traffic lights. Or is it the roads that have the lights and the streets that don't? I never could get that straight. The only thing I do know is that the mechanic just seems to force me to paint over one with the other. Meh.
