High School Story vs SimCity 4
High School Story
High School Story is a fun and pretty unique simulation game where you'll not only get to meet a host of interesting high schoolers, from the nerds to the jocks to the preppies; you'll also get to build a high school of your own! Recruit classmates, customize them to your liking, build hangouts for them and even link these characters with your real life friends through Facebook. Enjoy the game's myriad of mini-storylines that mostly cover the struggles that high schoolers go through, though there are some general life lessons in there as well. You can even throw parties to attract new "hybrid-clique" students or date any of the other students at your high school.High School Story lives up to its name by offering players the opportunity to reveal new stories by completing quests or buying new special classmates - or All-stars - that comes with their respectively unique background stories. The game is honestly as compelling as its stories and if you love a good tale or two or if you're a fan of games like Suburbia, this is the game you'll want to play.
SimCity 4
SimCity 4 is the fourth installment in the SimCity game franchise and it has been touted as the best SimCity game ever. Instead of building your city in one go, you can now build your city part by part and weave them all together into a bustling metropolis. You now have god-like powers as well, allowing you to craft and mold the landscape as you like, or call down huge disasters to terrify your poor Sims. Like the previous games, being their mayor, you'll need to be responsive to your Sims' needs as well, be it a new stadium or more universities. There are multiple scenarios and regions for you to build a city in, so there's plenty of replayability right there.SimCity 4 is a really well-designed game for an excellent game franchise, and if you love complicated and massive city-builders, this old game still stands well today.
