Every few years I get a craving to play these games. Even though there is very little diversity in the way the games play out (you build a city and... well that's basically that), the level layouts, goals, restrictions and such variables will force you to play in a different way for each quest. The game features several moments of awesome like when you manage to spawn a hero to slay the monster that has been terrorizing your city or when you witness your city blooming from a small settlement into a fully developed metropolis. The only problem I have with these game is probably that even the hardest setting isn't that hard. But that is really just nitpicking and shouldn't stop you from investing in these great games.
