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

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.

A Semi-Good Sim Game

Definately not the best simulation game put out, but still, this offers some addictive gameplay, until you reach "tower" status. There are different levels and your job is to build a sucessful mall complex, with shops, movie theatres, rec halls, condos, business offices and more. With rare VIP visits, bomb threats and Santa Claus this game doesn't have tooo many unexpected twists. You have to do a lot of waiting to get to new levels and to earn more money. I'd say if you like sim games give this one a shot if you find it at a cheap price.

Not as good as some Sim games

The idea is clever: build a supertower for people to play in, shop in, live in, and attend cultural events in. You can build up or down for up to 100 floor but I've never managed to get enough elevators to really do that. And no matter how many cleaners you have and how many stairs you have, everyone will start complaining about something fairly soon. It really needs more options in terms of transportation overall.

Good game, but then gets boring

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

A tough go at it!

This game presents a challenge. I struggled for hours trying to get my tower to the tower rating and wasn't able to defeat the challenge. If you can more power to you, but I was disappointed that my struggle didn't pay off!
