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.

A must have game

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.

AND THEN WHAT?

THIS GAME STARTS OFF... INTERESTING. THEN IT GOES NOWHERE. YOU BUILD AND YOU BUILD AND NOTHING CHANGES. PEOPLE MOVE OUT PEOPLE MOVE IN AND YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME DULL CUTAWAY VIEW OF A GIANT, IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP TRACK OF BUILDING. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL ALL OF THE APARTMENTS AND IF YOU DON'T IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE SAME MOVIES AND RESTAURANTS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO PUT IN THE BUILDING ( THERE IS THE NOTHING CHANGES THEME AGAIN). IT GOES ON AND ON AND IS ALWAYS THE SAME.

ALSO THE BUILDING IS... THIN... YES THIN. THE CUTAWAY GIVES YOU A VIEW OF A LONG HALL OF ROOMS THAT LEAD INTO EACH OTHER. YOU ONLY BUILD UP AND NOT OUT AT ALL. TRY THIS GAME WITH MORE DIMENTION. THE WEAKEST SIM CREATED...

THIS IS THE KIND OF GAME THAT SHOULD COME AS SHAREWARE WITH A COMPUTER MAGAZINE

Good game, but then gets boring

This game is fun, but pretty easy to win at - then it's boring.

I got this game for Christmas a couple years ago and my grades have consistently gone down since. It's very addicting! It helps you think logically and stratically (oh no! Life lessons in a computer game!) and I have learned that often the more successful building is the more tedious. (i.e. 45 floors of office, 30 floors of hotels, and 25 floors of condos) My only problem is - and this may have just been my CD because it used to work - I have found that I put 2 elevators on the first floor. Then on the fifteenth floor, I put 2 more but keep the first two going. Except, nobody uses the second set because it tells me that they're not there! I know this because if I take away the first 2 elevators from the 16-up floors (but with both sets still touching the 15th), it tells me there is no transportation connected. Anybody know what is going on? E-mail me.

this game is very stunning

From the makers of the acclaimed SimCity comes SimTower. This game, although from an impressive company with a good reputation, doesn't live up to it's good name as well as it should. The view for the majority of the game is the same, just getting bigger, it's a cut-a-way of a hotel. The game is simple, build a 5-star hotel, but the work to get it there is far from simple. This game is challenging, time taking, somewhat addictive game. You build apartments in your building if you want a constant source of profit. Condos are built if you want a one-time payment. You build theaters, escalators, resaurants, offices, and more in this game. As your rating increases(2 star to 3 star...) so does the amount of items you have the ability to insert. The reason I gave this a four star instead of five is just beacuse I didn't find it incredibly addictive. It couldn't hold my attention long enough. Most of the time is spent waiting for your money to accumulate so that you can purchase new features. All-in-all I would reccommend this game, even with its downsides, just because it is a fun and simple game to learn and play. I think I might go play it right now.

Sim Tower

This game lets you you build a vertical empire. As you build, your population grows larger. You start with $2,000,000 and as your population grows so does your fund. As you achieve higher ratings (1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star, 5 star, and "the tower"), you can build more things. To be awarded the stars needed to get 5 stars and higher you have to meet certain requirements. You can name 20 people and 20 tenants. This game takes a few months so it will pass time. It is also a good game if you like only small amounts of pressure. As you journey on your trip to a "the tower" ranking you take up many challanes. Keeping good evaluation and dealing with terrorists who will go to any level to charge you money. But you might not have to pay them, if you have good security. I think this would be a good game to have because of all of the traits listed above. So consider it when you want a game.

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!

Another one of those Sim Games

This game is very fun for a long time. but eventually it gets boreing. Newer, faster, more popular games come out and then you set it aside. But while you're playing this game, you learn lots. You have to make it just right and position all of the offices, condos, fast food joints, hotel rooms, resteraunts, lobbies, parking spaces, and elevators in the right place to achieve a "tower status." This game is very addictive and I recommend it for people with lots of time(and who like games from the Sim collection).
