SimCity 4 vs Suburbia 2
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.
Suburbia 2
Suburbia 2 took the series to a new level by providing a different gameplay as compared to the previous game. As opposed to simply reusing the "life simulation" formula, the game puts you into the shoes of an up-and-coming suburbian-based caterer who has just taken over the family business after your uncle, who was managing the company before it was passed on to you, mysteriously disappeared. However, once Liselle, the lady who is temporarily filling in for your uncle also gone missing, you begin to think that life in suburbia might be quite dangerous after all.Overall, the game has a very intriguing, mystery-filled storyline that rivals that of the original game, an interesting cast of characters, and a gameplay that’s quite engaging, but unfortunately, the rather ridiculous waiting times in this game may put a lot of players off. If you plan on giving this game a try, we would highly recommend playing it in small doses rather than spending hours on it at a stretch. That way, you won’t feel as frustrated about the waiting duration, and will actually be able to enjoy the game’s story.
