I remember admiring its art style when it first came out — it seemed to capture something beautiful about the landscape that reminded me of real Canadian wilderness. Now seems like a good time to try playing it.

I think the art style holds up pretty well even today. A strong creative direction, as well as integration of visuals with gameplay, story and atmosphere is what defined good graphics for me.

I would argue by that definition SimCity 4 (from 2003!) can hold its own against any modern city-builder:
