            It would be a great game if you could do what it says on the box. You need money and the problem is, you are never given enough. It has too much complicated financial stuff in it and before you even know it, you are bankrupt. Most of my time is spent waiting for money levels to rise. It would be a great game, if they actually let you DO anything. The sky is not the limit, its the money. Do NOT buy this game!

            I love Sim. games very much but I did not like this Sim. game.  After I would have my little city all set up I would need to watch it like a hawk leaving me with almost no time to expand and improve on my little city.  I have been told to give this game another try but I just can not find a reason to go back and try this game again.

            I received this game as a Christmas gift. I installed it and, the very first time I used the software, it worked fine. The next day when the game loaded, I discovered that it had a major flaw--the graphics were blurred and flashing and the screen was split so there was three of everyone. I  exchanged it immediately and got another copy of the same game, only to  find after the first time this one had the exact same flaw. Other than  that, this is a really fun game. However, if you don't have a lot of memory  on your computer(and I mean a LOT) you might not want to spend [the money] on  this.

            When I got SC2K the game was pretty good! Much better tha SC. when SC3K I bought it ammediatly. I shouldn't have I wasted 60$ on a crapy game. The graphics are the same, yeah better buildings but who cares it dosent do jack. SC3K sucks!

            As you may know, Maxis has released a new version of SimCity 3000, dubbed SimCity 3000 Unlimited.... The new features, like tile set switching, a map editor, scenarios, and even a scenario creator are more than worth the extra $.
NOTE: The one  star is not for the quality of the game; in fact it is my personal  favorite, it is just that there is a better version avaliable!

            I thought this game had everyting in the real life world. It was very complicated at the start, but the graphics are great. It's neat how ypu can see every little detail, like when you can zoom in, you can sometimes see people protesting! I like this game very much!
