The best city building game I have ever played, and I've played many. You can make zones which is either homes, comercial, industry or offices. The buildings that pop up have great diversity. You need to make public buildings, like police stations, hospitales, schools etc. These usually have two efficensy levels, where for example the big hospital cover a larger area. The citizens will get richer and happier if you give them these services, and the land will get more expencive if you make parks. You can make highways or regular roads. You need to plan out from the begining how to organize them, if you don't want to go broke fixing them. And in this game you actually earn mony from public transportation (but not any other public service for some reason). There are also many different buildings that can help you attract turists, and enhance your town. The wonders usually have really helpfull effects (but perhaps very unrealistic).

One complaint I have, is that it is really easy. I never had any problem getting 1 mill "currency". That would be something like 10 billion in real dollars, and I can make whatever I want. I usually keep the tax rate at 3%, and can have it on over 10% without people leaving. Perhaps I have the difficulty on low, I don't know, have never seen any difficulty bar. Also, if you find a nice way to organize your road system, a great tactic is to just copy and paist it with a highway close to it. I have never gotten over 200 000 people, and I've heard you can have up to a million people. So, that will be my next challenge.
