I got this game when I was in 6th grade and still play it today. I have children of my own and they love to watch me play! I love Maxis and most of their games.
Bottom line... Most kids would love this game, it is simple and entertaining.

tho' i did actually managed to build the tower and have the wedding on the roof once it was rather frustrating to play for the most part. what i thought was a game about building a mall/ apt buildting was really all about the elevators. seems the main point of the game was to create a 100 story building with a series of elevators that would take the sims from the parking garage to the roof considering the constraints of how many floors a sim was willing to stay on one elevator and how many times they were willing to change elevators. it was tedious at times but doable.

Great game, challenging, fun

A fun game, but once the people move out of condos, its tough to get back on track. Good for age 8-12. Not impossible to win.

A Huge Disappointment

I have always been an avid Sim player - SimCity (the original one), SimPlanet, SimTown, SimAnt... I've played them all (some only in teaching my nephew the fine art of being a SimAddict). This particular game was dull (there's so much stuff that could have been done with it - but wasn't). You only get a single perspective of the building and the main challenge (rather easily mastered) is to manage elevator service. I could think of a variety of perks that could have been put in to the building to make this game more interesting... but in the end you end up feeling like a slum-lord as you create this monster tower with no character to it. (Needless to say, there is no architectural element here... since the building is just the shell.)

One one of the worst Sim games out there

This game starts out not bad, there's some variety to the game (ie: hotels, condos, office spaces), and the first couple stars make you feel pretty proud, plus give you more ways of building your tower. But the game goes down hill from there. Getting enough population to gain another star goes from hard to downright impossible. But the worst aspect is how they tried to make the game a little more difficult by having everyone leave every couple weeks. When you get a pretty good sized tower, this makes getting everyone to move back in a pain and plunges you into debt and a lack of population. Not fun. The game is all together dull, frustrating and tedious. I wouldn't recommend it.

Sim Tower ... !

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.

Could be a little better, no a lot better!

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.

This game is stupid.

I own this game. I have gotten a 5 star rating once but it is dumb because if you run out of money and go into debt you can't get your money back or build anything. The people get impatient and stressed out and then they start taking your money away. I would recommend that you buy Spider Man or the Spider Man Movie Game instead of this annoying game that never ends.

I agree with the stampfers

This game is good and gets boring, though it is exremely addictive. The help section gives you a whole lot of info when you have no idea what to do, but the game does not come with a help booklet

Very very very very very Great
