Rating: Summary: It is pretty good! Review: even though the game didn't live up to what the company said it is still a good guide.
Rating: Summary: A rip off Review: i can get the guide free with the game at sams club. there's a buch of typos in it i bet just like all the guides prima makes
Rating: Summary: Nice Review: I'll say it is good, but not great. At least it should have a chapter to make a great city. But it is better then the other SC 3000 books I seen.
Rating: Summary: the game is ok Review: its ok but its hard and not as good as sim 2 do you think s
Rating: Summary: Best available...but that isn't saying much Review: Like many Prima strategy guides, this one was released not because the writer has any great insight into SimCity, but because they want your money. It's full of typos, the charts contain totally inaccurate information, and half of the things promised on the back of the book ("suggestions for exciting landscapes!") aren't actually covered. The actual advice in the book is awful hack-work -- though if you search carefully through the $19.95 book you ought to be able to find about one or two hints.

Rating: Summary: Prima Scores a Failing Grade! Review: Okay, Prima is one of the a respectable company that produces great game guides. While reading this guide I discovered that Prima is perfect either. This book was lacking in the accuracy department and should be improved, though we all know that will never happen, D---!
Rating: Summary: Save your money! Review: The eye-catching "Official Strategy Guide" and Maxis-style front cover promise much, but this book is a grave disappointment. While it may be of use to those who have never used SimCity before, anyone looking for the in-depth information which is alluded to will be left wanting.The few titbits of useful information which are provided, such as the land value calculation on p68, are poorly explained and make one wonder how much the author actually understands his subject. Chapter 3 is pure padding - it just lists Maxis' own table of differences between SC2000 and SC3000. A useful-sounding appendix giving a list of power consumption values (p94) and "specific consumption figures" (p132) is alas missing from the book entirely. The number of fundamental errors which should have been caught by even trivial proofreading is _awful_: 3x3=16 (p57); 5x4500=4500 (p58). Put these things together and you have a complete waste of money...
