I thought it would be more fun than this. I was wrong. I thought I could make my own buildings, etc. But that is not true. Hour & hours of frustration. I put the game away. I couldn't even figure out how to add the city to my Sims 2 game that everyone brags about:(

Sim City 4 is an awesome game, I've been playing it for years on my pc and would play for hours. Recently I got a mac and found out that there was also a mac version, so I bought, installed it, and was EXTREMELY disappointed. There are tons of bugs in the game, some graphics flicker a lot and there is a huge delay time between when you click a button in the game and it actually does what you want it to do...it's very frustrating, even with all the visual effects on their lowest performance possible, the game still runs unbelievably slow and is not worth 60 dollars AT ALL. The game still runs slow even with the patch released. I'll be playing this game on my pc and returning the mac version.
Does not work on OSX 10.5 (LEOPARD) May 20, 2008

This is an awesome game, but it STILL does not work on the newest operating system (OSX 10.5); it is slow and it crashes. IF you have an older mac system, this game is great. If you have a newer system, do not waste your money until they release an update for Leopard.
 SimCity4 on Intel Macs? May 18, 2008
T. Vawser (CO, USA)
A great educational and experimental game! Recommended for everyone! Kids will learn about how government and economy work! Adults will be frustrated that their brilliant strategies in SimCity can't be implemented into the real world! If you're wondering if you should buy it, do it!
For those who have Intel Macs... Does SimCity 4 for Mac work on the new processors?
fun, but unplayable May 3, 2008

This game was a blast at first, and being a big fan of the previous Sim City games I was really impressed with the content. And then my city grew and the game got slower. And slower. By the time I hit 150,000 citizens I had to turn down all of the graphics to the bare minimum just to get the game to do anything. And then I had to turn the sound off because it was irritating to hear the helicopters over the city batting away endlessly (I think it's an unfixed glitch.) And as I neared 200,000 citizens I gave up. The game had bogged down to a freeze-frame that changes every ten seconds. Yay!
Now I'm on a brand new iMac (intel-based) and didn't think it'd have trouble like this, but something must have gone wrong in the crossover from PC to Mac to Intel-Mac, because this game is pretty much worthless to me at this point. And that makes me sad, because it was fun for a few hours. Even after searching and digging for patches (which are not easy to find and the game's website/help is not set up well either) it still stinks.
I'll give it two stars for potential, but if you're on a new iMac don't bother with this one.
