I have played SC4 for many years.. since about 1985 or so when the first Simcity came out. But for some reason it didn't occur to me to help people BEFORE they actually buy the game. We have possibly become blind to the confusing issues for new buyers because we've been playing so long.. but there are confusing factors on what is needed to play effectively and to enjoy the benefits of great sites like SC4Devotion.
I have also been a user of Amazon.com for many years and am a happy customer. I decided to try to help out people who are seeking to buy the game and to start playing. For that reason I have written reviews on Amazon to try to guide others. I'd also like to enlist the help of the SC4Devotion users. I'd like you to read my reviews and add your comments and your "helpful" or not ratings. Please feel free to join in! I believe you may have to have an Amazon account so this may not apply. I'd still love to hear what you have to say even if you aren't an Amazon user.
My reviewer name is John "Old Guy". My reviews are as follows:

My objective is to help people make the right choices when they are buying and to encourage them to not only buy, but to follow up by joining us in such places as SC4Devotion. Sorry for the multiple reviews, but the way Amazon's listing system works, the review must be placed on each offering.
I think this forum is a reasonable place to post. If there is a better place, please move it. Thanks.
