Summary: Hard At First But Keeps on Getting Easier!
Review: Me and my brother bought this game when it first came out. At first we played it all the time but it starts to get to become boring.At first , the game is very difficult and fun. You have trouble knowing what laws to pass and how to build up your city. you have to pay off your debts and still have extra money. you have to figure out what deals you should be making with neighboring towns. you have to expand the population of your city. you have to figure out a good tax rate. you have to figure out how many schools, hospitals, police stations, and fire stations to build and where you should put them. you have to make a yearly budget for how many parks, libraries, museums, jails, colleges, zoos, ballparks, bus stops, and train stations. you have to cope with natural disasters, UFO attacks, and riots. it's fun at first, but it's always the same so it gets boring.

Summary: i like 2000 more
Review: why? it just seemed to have a "funner" aspect to it than 3000, in 2000 it was possible to get a good city going without having to cheat, or be a master at the game. i spent hours and hours playing 2000, and i couldnt wait for 3000 to come out... but i was a little dissapointed, its fun, but not that fun, after awhile there is nothing else to do, and it gets real tedious when all your stuff breaks and you have to go about fixing it again... if you liked 2000, i would recommend this just because it is a fun game for the first 20 hours or so, if you didnt like 2000 then dont expect this to be any different from its predecessor

Summary: Sandman
Review: I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. Not only does this game actually simulate something useful (that means it will teach us something of at least some value) but it is fun. each session is a new task to get things just right. I have an old computer (120 mhz) that I play this on and it works just fine! so don't think you need a speedster to have a little fun!

Summary: Don't bother with this version anymore
Review: As you may know, Maxis has released a new version of SimCity 3000, dubbed SimCity 3000 Unlimited.... The new features, like tile set switching, a map editor, scenarios, and even a scenario creator are more than worth the extra $.

NOTE: The one star is not for the quality of the game; in fact it is my personal favorite, it is just that there is a better version avaliable!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: WOW! SimCity 3000 is one of the best games I have ever had the honor of playing. The graphics are sharp and original and the music is entertaning (especially compared to SimCity 2000). I've throughly enjoyed playing this game and would recomend it to anyone.

Summary: Let the Buyer Beware!
Review: I purchased the product from Amazon and received it with excitement to play this game that I had heard and read so much about. I loaded the game and enjoyed what I saw. The second time I went to play it, I got an error stating that there was a disk error and that my computer could not read it. I called the technical support about the situation and was told that it was my computer that was having the problems. Heaven forbid there game have the problem. Isn't funny how everything else on the computer works great except for when that game is loaded. He told me that it was most likely a problem with my CD-ROM drive. I asked if there was another CD-ROM drive that I could get to run this game, and his answer was that they were having problems with all types and that he could not recommend one.

I was basically told that I am out of luck and in the meantime, I am also out the $30. I guarantee that this is the last time that I purchase a product of this manufacturer. They will not stand by their product and when you have problems; it's, thanks for your money, now don't bother me.

Buy this product and it may work fine; however, take the chance and you may get screwed like myself.

Summary: Yuck
Review: I received this game as a Christmas gift. I installed it and, the very first time I used the software, it worked fine. The next day when the game loaded, I discovered that it had a major flaw--the graphics were blurred and flashing and the screen was split so there was three of everyone. I exchanged it immediately and got another copy of the same game, only to find after the first time this one had the exact same flaw. Other than that, this is a really fun game. However, if you don't have a lot of memory on your computer(and I mean a LOT) you might not want to spend [the money] on this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good game!
Review: Personally I did not try any of the other SimCity games before this one and I am notably impressed. I am impressed with the grapics, the level of detail and control over the enviroment and of the overall difficulty of the game itself. I have no frame of refrence to critize the game as do others because of my lack of knowledge of how they have improved the game. However if you are considering this game to be entertaining then buy this game because in my opinion this game is very entertaining. The only reason I gave this game four stars was its somewhat awkward interface with the user, it is powerful but at the expense of simplicity. Overall good game!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not much better than the last...
Review: Pretty much just an upgrade over SC2K... definately improved, but no great new innovations here. Recommended, but not enthusiastically.
