Summary: Much Better Than Sim City 3000
Review: This game is better than Sim City 3000. The designers messed up on Sim 3000 by making it into a toy-like cartoon game. Sim 2000 is older but much better and costs less. Still the best Sim City.

Summary: It looks good, but DON'T buy it!
Review: This game is extremely bad. The only good sim games are the awesome "The Sims" games. In SimCity, th only way to build homes, hospitals, airports etc... is to use the urban renewal kit! If you build a city useing the regular game it does not build buildings at all! If you choose to make an area of land residential, it does not build homes, it colors the land green! This game is horrible! When you look at your finished city, it is a huge color coded land mass!

Summary: A MASTERpiece
Review: This is the god-game that really got things going in the games industry. The game where you started with a customizable sandbox, where you could place trees, water, mountains, and then start making a metropolis. You could make a small town, a huge city, or something weird or in between. You never lost, you never won, and the game never ended.And you didn't care, because it was senselessly addictive. I first played this game back in freshman year of high school, and was somewhat turned off at first by the very, very steep learning curve. The manual is pretty good, but it simply takes a lot of trial and error and bankruptcy to figure out how to make a good city. Frightfully enough, this could be considered an "educational game." You have to manage a budget, lay out a well-formed city, listen to your citizens' demands, and so forth. Also, if you're a rural guy like me, you learn about things like "on-ramps" which you may have never really seen before. I played this game obsessively in keyboarding class, study halls, etc., alt-tabbing out whenever the teacher would walk by. It's mesmerizing. The sound and music are peaceful and the animations and graphics are cute. Aside from the steep learning curve, there are two gripes: one is that once you've filled your city limits and made your city happy enough, there's nothing else to do but deal with disasters. As for disasters, once your city gets really big, you'll have to deal with an ENDLESS barrage of plane crashes. Very annoying. Then again, there are scenarios to keep things challenging, as well as multiple difficulty levels. And, you can always try to innovate your "perfect" city, and add in railroads, make it more environmentally friendly, add in tourist regions, and so forth. Buy it, though it will suck your life up. A keeper...however, I haven't played SimCity 3K, and that might be a better choice at this point.

Summary: Yea baby thats what Im talking about!
Review: This is whout a question THE city simulation. Graphics are great. Disasters are fun. Varibles in the game are not so variedy that even when you have every need met the citizens find some stupid reason to complain (stupid Ceasar game). I love this game and I would keep it on my top 10 forever (and thats a long time).

Summary: No Instructions, Poor graphics, a waste of money
Review: This program reminds me of my old Atari 2600, only much less fun. There are no useful instructions, the graphics stink, and as far as I can tell the entire game is one dull and repetitious waste of time money and effort. After spending over two hours trying to figure out how it could possibly be enjoyable-I gave up.
Save your money-Don't buy this. I wish I could return this product. Or better yet, I wish someone had advised me not to waste money on it, like I am urging you!

Summary: SimCity2000: Still the best
Review: This was the first game I ever played on a computer (way back in 1994) and am I still playing it. It's that good. The concept is simple; build a city from the ground up and face all the challenges a real mayor running a city would. It's that simple concept that makes SC2k horribly addictive, especially at first. After you've built your dream city, there's still so much to do...make a rural town, enviromentally sound city, a city built on top a mountain, and so on. The scenarios are challenging and fun. Even for the best player they can take many tries to master. Everytime you play you learn something new about the game. I also think people fail to mention the wonderful newspaper. It is filled with silly articles that are a laugh (but get the problems of the city across). Read articles on your local cricket team, or new developments in those weird lookin' arcologies. The included Urban Renewal kit is a blast, and the free-city building is especially fun if you have SimCopter or Streets of SimCity because you can design the wackiest or coolest cities to fly or drive through. A whole world is at your fingertips with SimCity 2000.

Summary: "SimCity 2000" is the ultimate!
Review: When I first got this game, I installed it, put my colors up to 256, and started playing. Since I was used to the original "SimCity", I thought the zoning feature was very weird. It took a while for me to realize that you need to put powerlines THROUGH the zone. Well, after I mastered that, I then found out there is a water system. Oh boy! That took about an hour to master that, then I went on to master the bevy of other add-on's. My suggestion is this: when you first get this game, make a city that's just for experiments. Put the year in 2050, and build everything you can. That way you get the idea of what each thing is. Anyways, for those people that want to know how good the game is: graphics are great! They probably aren't as good as "SimCity 3000", but my computer can't handle that (stupid Pentium 1). After you make a huge metropolis, though, there starts to be HUGE buildings, and you can't see through those unless you set the veiwing to a different setting. Learning curve is about like a small cliff; you start off learning and experimenting. The game is difficult at the beginning. However, after you get past the beginning, it's pretty moderate after that. Plane crashes are very annoying. If you have a tall building by your airport, the plane will ram right into it. That's when the option of "no desasters" comes in handy. Sound is really cool because you get to hear your city working! Well, this is a great game! Oh yeah, this edition also comes with a program where you can make your own tile set and city for free.
