Summary: Sim City 3000 Unlimited = Unlimited Fun
Review: This is a great game. It is well supported on the web site with tips, but just exploring gets you into it. It kept me and the whole family involved for over 6 months. I highly recommend this game to anyone interested in running a city. It's a great deal of fun and teaches valuable lessons in city management. (I'd give it 6 stars if that were possible)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Best SimCity Game on Average
Review: Going from SimCity 2000 to SimCity 3000 required a little bit of effort to get used to the differences, but once you do, you will find this to be a highly superior game. Graphics are not as good as SimCity 4, but SimCity 4 is more boring than 3000 Unlimited. Not only can you build cities, but you can make your own scenarios and make your own buildings. The Building Architect is actually the most popular feature of SimCity 3000 Unlimited. In SimCity 4, all you can do is make cities... until they release expansion packs and you have to pay $30 for each expansion pack, which I do not plan to do. I've played every one of the SimCity releases, and SimCity 3000 Unlimited is the best one and the one I've played the most. It has so much more to offer than any of the other SimCity's and is the best game for your bucks.

Summary: Nothing new
Review: Seems like this series has only updated it graphics from version to version. There is really nothing new here, other than updated graphics and some new city management responsibilities. I'm hearing similar things about SC4.

This series is starting to burn it self out. Our mass media culture needs to move beyond the sim experience and into new realms. I have to agree with many others about playing games that mimic our lives.

Please let us mimic with something more ground breaking. There's a platform game called Disaster Report which I did not like, but found myself wishing I could put myself into the action after a disaster in one of my Sim Cities. SC2K was heading in that direction with the drive around town mode, but it disapeared from the series all together, before it could be improved and added to. Too bad.

Summary: Best Sim City
Review: Even after buying and playing with the new Simcity4, I must say that Unlimited is the best one. I have had every issue since the first one and it is the only computer game I play. As my review of SC4 states, the graphics are not as good as in this version. And it is MUCH less difficult to play than SC4

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: OK

Summary: Build Your Own Metropolis
Review: A decent game if you are into the simulation games. I bought this a few months ago and have been playing it (off and on) ever since. I recommend not to play this game endlessly, it takes a long time (real) to build a decent and thriving city. When I first started building cities, I would get impeached after about 20 years. This game, like other simulation games, takes experience before you become successful.

I especially liked the options of choosing real city terrains, such as Paris or Berlin. This is a great feature if you would like to see how Paris would look if you built it. What if Paris had the Taj Mahal instead of the Eiffle Tower?

You can also have aliens attack the city, which is neat to watch. I recommend turning off the disasters when you first get your city running. Limited budget and income makes repairing buildings and roads very hard. I have found that after running a city for about 60 years(Sim time) there is enough surplus in the budget to experiment with the disasters.

It is a little hard to have the same poplutaion as the surrounding SimCities. My cities have always had a fraction of the population in comparison to my SimCity neighbors.

And it seems that you can't keep the Sims happy. If you have taxes too high they complain, so you have to lower them. Eventually, I had to lower them down to about 1%...and they still complained that they are being taxed to high. So you have to lower it to 0%, however you no longer have the population as a source of income. This aspect of the game is a little annoying. If you play this game sparadically, which I recommend, it is not as annoying as if you decide to play it of several hours many days in a row.

As far as building farms and seaports... I had a hard time having these features develop in my cities. But after much determination and a quick glance at the official website, I have been successful. The only problem I have with the farms is keeping them when my city started to expand. What I mean is after awhile, farms started to turn into factories. Once this happens there is no turning back to farmland.

Here's a tip: try to keep the zones you intend to have farms develop as far away from the residential, commerical and industrial centers as possible.

Another zoning problem that I have encountered is with the airport zoning. I can get it to develop, but not to how I want it to look. This type of zoning is expensive, so demolising existing buildings that spring up randomly and re-zoning/dezoning becomes a nuisance.

Overall this is a decent game, and a good value. I am looking forward to the next SimCity, and hope that they improved on what is already a good game.

This is a game where there is not much action, usually simulation type games are slow paced, and this is one of them. It took me many weeks of periodical playing to build a halfway decent city. Although, when I first got the game, I played many hours on end thinking I was going to master this game in a day. No such luck.
If you are looking for quick results and action, this is not the game for you. But if you like taking your time and experimenting, I definitely recommend this game.

Summary: Horrible!
Review: The SimCity games are absolutely horrible.Having to add on the tiniest little pieces of city pipes and stuff is hideous and headache-inducing.There is no fun to be had,only torture.Just horrible.
