How Would you Rate the City-Builder Games?

[SecretMbr_735754 2,158]

How would you rate each of the city-builder games you've actually played.  Listed below I've included the games generally covered on ST.  If there is a city-builder game that you play that is not on the list then add it to your list of games actually played and give it a rating.

The ratings are from 1 to 10.  There are 9 listed game titles and 1 'other' which you can name or choose not to.  If you have not actually played the game give it a rating of n/a, or simply leave it off your list.

A rating of 1 would be what you consider the least, a rating of 10 would be what you consider the best.  You can either rate them as a list from 1 to 10, or rate each one individually between 1 and 10.  Either way it should be obvious which way you decided to rate the games.

You can copy and paste the text below to enter your ratings.  You can also quote the text below and enter your ratings in the quote box.

Are we to rate them for how we felt about them at the time we played them or how we feel about them for replaying now-a-days?

Yeah, thanks for mentioning that.  "actually played" could be 2 hrs. 20 years ago or 20 hrs. 2 days ago.  When I wrote the criteria I was only concerned with peeps making ratings based on what they've heard or seen without having used the game, so I considered fair enough if someone has at least spent some time using the game themselves.  To your point, I think if a game made a certain impression at some point, and if that impression has changed over time, the most recent one seems most relevant.  Comparing back and forth in time can go either way, so how you would rate the game now regardless of whenever else or for how long you played a game I think would be fair to the game(s) overall.

Maybe I should explain the low score of SC4, but I don't think this is the place for that.
