Summary: Could be a little better, no a lot better!
Review: I think this game [stinks]! I mean, the highest star rating ( you'll know what it is if you have it or played it before) I ever got to was only three stars. and I think it's impossible to beat it. when all the people leave your condos, there's no way to get all your money back for them. There's no way to not be bankrupt in this game! The view [stinks], you can't even turn and see the side. graphics, you can't tell if your in a book or not. the drawings are so flat! I'd rather get my thumbs chopped off then rate this game with them. If your planning to buy it, you shouldn't. (I'm a Sim collector, I played em' all). Beileve me you really shouldn't. I would recommend ( if you are a sim lover) Sim City 3000 Unlimited, Sim Copter and The Sims.

Summary: Educational For Designer Wanna-Be's
Review: I've always wanted to design huge sky-scrapers. I got this game for Christmas last year, and it's great. I experience the process and how real designers/builders build these huge buildings. It's great! Now, when I get older, I'll know what to expect when I start building the next Empire State!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sim Tower ... !
Review: If you don't have this game don't buy it. I bought it. It's impossible to not go bank rupt. Every time I tried to build a good tower I went bankrupt. It's the most stressful most frusterating game I've ever played. If you want to get a good game get Spider Man for Windows 95 + 98/2000.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:-)
Review: Sim Tower is a masterpice. It is a tribute to man's advances in civilization. But anyway, about things people care about. SimTower is a fun and entertaining game. While this is an old game so the graphics are not the best but the game play is fantastic. You create a tower and build it up with restraunts, hotels, apartments, offices, movie theaters, ball rooms, parking grages, subways, in short it's a fun game. Far better than Cisco 7100 Series IOS Enterprise Feature Set 12.0(4)XE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have game
Review: Simtower is a challenging and entertaning strategy game. I spend hour after hour after hour playing it and it manages to keep me entertained every minute. Simtower is a must have game for Sim collectors,stradegy and simulation game players, and anyone else who wants a entertaining challenge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reach for the stars...
Review: SimTower is a fascinating, mind-boggling, simulation where you create a commercial empire with every little accesory you need to keep sims comfortable. Start your tower with a lobby, offices and a cafe, and soon you'll be building Fancy Hotel Suites and ballrooms, restaurants, movie theaters, shops, massive Subway Stations and a... well, I won't spoil the surprise. In SimTower, You're the boss. I reccommend this game for people of all ages.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy to learn, extremely difficult to win
Review: SimTower is by far my favorite computer game. While the idea is rather simple, there are so many complex strategies and challenges when building a tower that it's almost impossible to get bored.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best Sim game ever
Review: SimTower is the best game in the Sim series. I played the game for countless hours during the first year I got it and I still go back and play maybe five years after I first bought the game. A must buy for anyone who likes operating and building games.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good until the end
Review: The game is good even in the very beginning, when building options are very limited (condos and offices, mainly.) The building options expand with time (each time your tower gets another star: 1 star to 2 star, 2 to 3, etc.) That's pretty fun, especially since you can keep track of a person and follow them around. It's fun until you get to around four stars.

At around four stars, things start to level off. Nobody wants to live in your condos, and you have to check on the happiness rating all over the building. Trust me: that is INCREDIBLY BORING after the second time or so. And you have to do it way more than two times.

Winning the game is pretty easy, though it takes a lot of time. The tower can be up to a hundred stories, which is nice, except for the fact that you need a one hundred story tower to win the game, and the last 60 stories are pretty boring. You can play on after you win, which I thought would be cool. It's NOT. It's just the same thing, over and over again, making sure the people are happy, etc.

So if I find the second half of this game so boring, why did I give it four stars? I've played this a bunch of times, and I rarely continued a game all the way to the second half. The first half is more fun, anyway. If you're going to buy this, play it while it's fun, and stop (and put it away for later) when it's boring.

All in all, the first half's good, the second half isn't. If you have a short (or medium-length) attention span, this is the game for you. If you want to play only to win, then I suggest you go for a game that's more fun all the way through.
