Summary: play Sim City 2000 instead
Review: I was a big fan of sim city 2000 and Sim City 3000 I am not. What sim city 3000 does is make me want to play sim city 2000!(yuch) That is an awful feeling after plunking down the $$'s. All I can say is that I know this game is a big compromise to the original intentions of the designers. if you remember Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, by bullfrog, you know exatly what I mean and how I feel about the crapyness of Sim City 3000.IF SIM CITY 2000 DID NOT EXIST I would have rated Sim City 3000 31/2-4 stars.

Summary: 2000 or 3000
Review: The differences between 2000 and 3000 are small. Well 1) thier is more buildings. and 2) Their is more oppertunites to make money. Other than that the game isn't harder, or any more fun. Save yourself the Money if you want to get a Sim City, Get 2000.

Summary: Fun but not easy
Review: SC3000 is a strategy game not a easy game so it can not be easy. But then it got very good pictures. If you had never played SC you should try SC3000. Otherwise you will be stuck in the mud.

Summary: My favorite game!
Review: I loved SC2000, and when I first got SC3000, I wasn't sure I liked it. But it didn't take long before I was a convert. By comparison, SC2000 is a bore. Yes, it's difficult--sometimes very difficult--to get your city started. And yes, it takes time. That's what's interesting about it. Finding the problems and finding ways to solve them. Is SC3000 perfect? No, there are a few things I'd change, but they're little things and they don't lessen my fun. SC3000 lives permanently in my CDROM for good reason!

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: Simcity 3000 is a lot better than Simcity 2000 for the fact that it has much better graphics and it's more challenging. In SC2000, your citizens don't really react to anything. In this version, the citizens actually come to you with their wants. It is also much more challenging. You also get more room to build a city and more rewards and oppurtunities that change your city forever.

Summary: Sim City 3000 a good bet, If your old enough.
Review: If you are under 16, don't even think about getting this game. The amount of money that you are given at the start of the game is just enough to build the town and then you will lose money for at least the first 20 years. Then if you make it after that the game is a lot of fun. If you get the game, make sure you get a strategy guide. It will save you a lot of time and effort.

Summary: terrible
Review: After being a giant fan of Sim City 2000, I thought that I would equally love this game. How wrong I was. There was nothing original about the game, and quite frantly, 2000 played a lot smoother. So if you are a fan of 2000, keep playing that, and if you did not like 2000, don't expect anything better from this game

Summary: Best strategy game of the decade
Review: Sim City 3000 is the best strategy game I have ever played. The ability to watch your city grow, have detailed charts and graphs and is an amazing feature. I recommend the Prima SC3000 Strategy Guide to master this game, as it is hard to learn how to play.

Summary: Another example of a fine series with unrealized promise.
Review: SimCity 3000 had every opportunity in the world to be a correction on the mostly misguided SimCity 2000. Unfortunately, it succeeds mostly at making one want to play that earlier game again. Better designed overall, the simulation model has grown so complex that the game is nearly unplayable. It is extremely difficult to effectively get your city underway, and the available help functions in the game are not sufficient to explain the complex theories of economics that the game requires you to understand in order to effectively govern your city. When SimCity was still about being the mayor of a city instead of showing you just what feats of computing are possible, it was a much stronger game. Until Maxis gets that idea back, SimCity 3000--for all of its good points--is just simply not worth playing.

Summary: One of the few games I always keep on my machine!
Review: I have been a fan of Sim City since the original version, and have been upgrading and installing on new PC's ever since the first version. This is one of the few games to ever really capture my imagination. It also has proven to be a lot of fun for my kids, as well -- and it is probably teaching them a few things about cities, geography and government at the same time. This version is the best -- some very nice, thoughtful upgrades; much better graphics. It's worth buying if you've never owned it; worth upgrading if you have an earlier version.
