Sim City 2000 is much better

This game may have prettier graphics than Sim City 2000 and Sim City Classic however the designers turned it more into a toy looking game. Being able to see the actual cars is hardly exciting after 5 minutes and it hogs system performance. I was really hoping for an intellegent game not just pretty graphics. Also this game is not a challenge. It is so easy to make money espeacially on full speed. With an endless amount of money it seems the game is won and is really boring.

THE BEST MAXIS GAME EVER!

this is a fun game. You can choose the name of your city, mayor name, and difficulty level. the difficulty level determines how much money you have to build with. EASY: $50,000. MEDIUM: $20,000. HARD: This is hard! you have to make a thriving city in hard with a $10,000 LOAN WITH INTEREST!!! AHHH! but don't use all your money. You have to pay money for ordinances, utilities, funding, and loans. But you can get money from taxes, gambling, and some ordinances.

People start leaving for no reason

I started my first succesful city (w/o a starter city) and it was great! Then, after about two hours of gameplay, MY 855,500 pop. city had a problem with people. It must have, because in less than 20 minuets, My city was reduced to about 250,000 pop. Get this IT WAS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. My popularity was high, all of the ordenances I could have had were activated, all buildings had water and power, I had full funding to schools, firestations, police, ect., police and fire coverage were excelant, taxes were only at 3 for everything (Ind., Com., and Res.), and everything else you could think of, I had it. It was the perfect city and my whole population (who still liked by the way) left the city. If you have a good reason for it , I'd say it was a glitch in the game. Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game when there is a reason to the sudden drops, but I don't think you can have a real good city that lasts for more than four or five hours and there is no good city, they'll all die out eventually. The only option you have is LOSS. I am hoping that SC 4000 will be MUCH better.

A Very Enjoyable Game

It makes you think. I agree that few new surprises are discovered after the first bit fo time, but I find I can keep playing it whenever I need just a little tedious activity to occupy me. (Personally, I like to listen to books on tape while I play--but that's just me).
My suggestion? Buy it, it's worth it.

Good Game If You Have A Good Attention Span

As the Mayor of your SimCity, you are tasked with building a city from scratch. Your primary objective is to make your Sims happy and increase the size and population of your city. SimCity 3000 is another in a long line of games from this genre.

SimCity 3000 is a very good game overall. Good graphics, good sound, well designed interface. The game has a very short learning curve -- anyone can become an expert in 15 minutes. This is not at all to say that the game isn't complicated -- building a good city is a different matter.

When you begin the game, your first task is to get your budget out of the red. THIS IS HARD. Many of my friends have been turned off of the game just after the first 30 minutes of play. But believe me, it's possible. After this step, the game becomes just plain fun. SimCity 3000 is challenging and funny.

The only real flaw in the game is that it is possible to get bored with it. Once your city is built, you have nothing to do but create a disaster (fire, tornado, earthquake, UFO invasion, etc.) and try to rebuild. This takes a long time to happen, however. This game is good for a solid 3 months of entertainment minimum, and is well worth the price. Even a young child will enjoy this game.

Highly Recommended.

It is fun

SimCity 3000 was a nice game, it has good graphics ,good sound, but all simcity 3000 is an upgraded simcity 2000. Still very fun!

Worthwhile upgrade to SimCity 2000

One of the cool features to SimCity 3000 is that you can import all your previously built cities from SC2000. My 13 year-old daughter spends a lot of time building (and then tearing down) cities. It's a nice alternative to blowing up monsters.

The only problem with running it was that I had to turn off 3D acceleration on my system (RIVA TNT) to cure a "flickering" problem. If anyone knows of another workaround, let me know!

This, the newest version of the SimCity Dynasty, is a great improvement over the low grapics-low AI of SimCity 2000. I have almost all the Sims, like SimTower & SimIsle, and SimCity is the best! I think i'll change careers to become a mayor!
