I have SC4 and CXL, and my B-Day is coming up and I wanted to get some suggetens on othe good city

building games. Also good driving games(with free drive,I have MCLA).

P.S. I have every game station besides PS3 so all consoles are good , but a suggestion on the best console would help

Be in Detail on what features

Well, there's certainly nothing on SC4's level.. but there are some decent ones out there, especially "period" games; Grand Ages:Rome is a decent Roman city builder, albeit with a few quirks; Tropico 3 is also pretty fun.

I always thought Metropolismania for PS2 was addicting a bit old now (i think about 4 or 5 years), and Extremely simple, but addicting. Definately one of those games that you say to yourself, "Why in the world am i playing this?!?!" as you keep on playing it for another 3 hours

City Life 2008 is pretty good. It's addicting! here is a link to the demo.http://www.gamershell.com/download_22429.shtml?gr_i_ni
It has social classing and stuff, but it's pretty fun! Custom content can be made with an easy with a BAT offered IN GAME!!!

CityScape 1.8.3 is very addicting where you can build the most realistic roads and building in a world of city building games it has pretty graphics and you can make any options you like to and you cant download the game from http://pixelactive3d.com

Cityscape's not really a game, though... just a modeller for 3D environments. Plus you can't save what you build, unless you have a full version licence... at only 19,000 dollars a pop :/

City Life was an OK city builder, but since you have CXL already, there isn't much point in getting it unless you can find it cheap. Tropico 3 is a good modern game, and is available for both PC and 360. It's a little more complex than SC4, but it has a lot of comedic value to it (especially the radio station host). There's also a demo available for it so try that out. You should also look out for other demos to get a taste of what they're like.

I found out only today about CityScape. You're right that it's 'just' a modeling software, but for me it's going to be a fine new toy for building interchanges .

How many of us nowadays use SimCity 'simply' for modeling purposes (CJs, whole plopped cities, etc.)  and don't play the game as such anymore?

Saving shouldn't be a problem. Having the demo verison myself, I may save and reload my terrains as I wish. The only restrictions are as follows:

direct copy from the manual

DEMO VS. FULL VERSIONS

The free Demo version of CityScape functions exactly the same as the Full version, with three exceptions:

1.The Demo cannot export terrains.

2.When you run the Demo, a blank terrain automatically opens in association with the Demo project file for library items. In the Full version, you must open or create a terrain manually, and associate it with a project file of your choice (or creation).

BTW, this was my first try with CityScape :

Is there any way to make City Life 2008 World Edition work with Windows 7?? It used to work fine with Vista, but now the game won't start....

[Ocram's Razr 964]

If it worked in Vista, you will need to download the latest Vista drivers.

[jazyje 1]

I did -- those drivers were for Vista and do not do anything in W7 -- game won't start after installation...

I read once somewhere that you may need to update the TAGES driver to the newest version (linkie). CL 2008 schould work fine aftwerwards. I don't know about CL World Edition though.

Hope this helps .

P.S. I can't help you further than this as I don't play CL anymore nor do I have Win7.
