Summary: A Good But Undetailed Game
Review: This game is a great game for anyone who enjoys simulation games. The point of the game is to build a money-making metropolis. You start with a gigantic plot of land, your goal is to build and make your sims (simulated residents of your city) happy. You can do this by not raising taxes to high and supplying their demands. The game simulates time very fast but you can pause and modulate the speed. Overall, this game was great but the graphics are bad and gameplay is nothing compared to Sim City 3000.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, then boring.
Review: This game is good at first. It's also very challenging. But after you have played it for a while, it tends to get really boring.

However, if you like games by Maxis, then this is a must-see. Maxis makes great games that are written very well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Product for older systems
Review: This is a great product. It is extremely similar to SimCity 3000 except for several facts.

--It is $5 cheaper.

--It saves your hard drive (20 mbs compared to 200mbs)

--The graphics card requirements are less (less than 2mbs compared to a minimum of 2 megabytes for SC 3000)

--It is FASTER (it runs faster in benchmark tests compared to SC 3000 because SC 3000 is graphic intensive)

--Doesn't require DirectX 6.0 like SC 3000 therefore, it requires less disk space

--It is better than SC 3000 because it does highways better and it is less intensive, also you can switch between applications for when your boss is behind you. It also has scenarios, and you can select NO DISASTERS.

It also has better cheat codes and the SIMCITY URBAN RENEWAL KIT (SCURK) which allows you to build the city to your liking , and then you can run it in SC 2000.

It is also more stable, in SC 2000 you can build longer bridges and power lines, and you can build connections to other cities cheaper. In SC 3000, if you build an onramp by the border, it will crash the program. Overall, it is a better deal for people with slower computers (1998 and earlier), but if you have a powerful computer (1999, 2000, 2001) SC 3000 is a better deal.

Summary: Decent Game
Review: This is a pretty decent game. It is very hard to play at first, but after a few days, you will get the hang of it. You can personalize your city using the Urban Renewal Kit. You can even paint your buidings, and/or you can place cool buildings in your city whenever you want. The only problem that I have with the game is the lack of funding for your city. You have to issue many bonds, which are very hard to pay off. Nevertheless, this game is fun, and I recommend it to everyone. With patience, you'll be building a lot of cities! Remember: Build a power plant first. You can't have a city without electricity, right? Start your city near a lake or river and build a lot of water pumps. Build them on the shores of your body of water. Connect the pumps with power lines from your power plant. Now build some zones. Connect them with roads, power,and water pipes from your water pumps. Now build a hospital, a school,a college, a police station, a fire department, and a jail. You might also want to build stadiums and/or parks. Remember the pipes, roads, and power lines. Fund everything at least 80% and listen to what people have to say about your city so you don't have problems. Good Luck!

Summary: This is a Great Game
Review: This is the ultimate version of Simcity. The newer version has more bells and whistles, but the game is essentially the same. Plus the new version is a memory/resource hog. In this version the urban renewal kit is the best part of the game. It's great to play together with kids (8 - 12) making it a good family game, also. If you like thought provoking, fun and educational games, this one is a winner!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent game-recommended
Review: When the first version of SimCity was released, it took the gaming world by storm. Now, with SimCity's second release, realism has exploded drastically, with more 3D buildings, Urban Renewal Kit (a program designed to let you build a city with unlimited funding and no citizens, than import it into SimCity), and improved disasters. Every gamer, casual or serious, ought to have their own copy of the latest SimCity.
