I recenty picked this game up for $10 at Costco. I have always loved the sim city games. So i figured how bad could it be. And if you know what you are doing and like Sim City for the computer its pretty similar. I've actually filled the map and just had to stand around and watch my money grow. Its all in your tactics. For what I paid for this game I am very happy, and find myself playing the game often.

Disappointed

When I first saw this game I was excited because I loved playing SimCity 2000 on the Sega Saturn. Unfortunately, instead of just downsizing and porting the game to the Gameboy Advance, they added stuff from the newer SimCity games. The controls aren't that good and the manual tells you nothing - which is that way for pretty much every EA game so no surprise there. It still is mildly entertaining for about a half hour or forty-five minutes at a time. If you were hoping for this game being like the older SimCity 2000 games on the Saturn or the Playstation, you will be somewhat disappointed with this game.

okay

Little hard to follow because of the screen size. Had to keep moving back and forth on the size.

okay

it kinda glitches during disastors and while saving which can be very annoying. It can get very annoying because it takes so long to move places. the pc version is much much better. If you really need to play this game while on the go buy it but if you have a computer buy the pc version. I dont think they have the big buildings that hold thousands of people it got boring before i could find out.... I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS I DONT LIKE IT. YOU MIGHT BUT I DOUBT IT.

Pretty Good

Hard, and sometimes frustrating, but still kind of fun. PC versions are much better, like Sim City 4 Deluxe. This is for only select people who like this kind of game. Features aren't great and it has confusing and hard controls. The idea is good but it could be better.
By the way, SimCity 4 Deluxe is one of the best PC games ever.

Well done... a good adaptation

First of all, to help out my fellow reviewers, if your squares are still green and blue it means you did something wrong. Don't blame the game. The interface is very simple, the gameplay is creative, the graphics are beautiful, and the possibilities are endless. You will enjoy this.

By the way, to the third reviewer of this game... if you like the game, you should have given it a few stars!

Not worth the money!

This game looks great on the GBA but it gets a little frustrating trying to run your SIM CITY with the GBA controls. Though this game still gets addicting expect frustration with getting use to the controls.

- yawn - so boring

this game stinks! all you do is make a city, something happens to it. Then you fix it agin, agin, agin, and agin. I say dont waste your money on this silly game. This game STINKS!!!!
on the star rating it said i had to give it a star. I would tell you it has 0 stars for fun and 0 stars for the overall game. I suggest "SIMS BUSTIN' OUT" and "URBS SIMS IN THE CITY" both rated "E"

Shall I compare SimCity 2000 on GBA to a summer's day ? NO!!

This game is bull. I give almost all my games some sympathy (see Hulk on GBA review "Show Me the Green"- that game rocks!!) but not this one. This is the worst excuse for a Maxis game on this planet. (I love all Sim games except this one.) All you do is build a city, but unlike other Sim games, you get no cash, so within three game years you're impeached or your city is in ruins. It's very impossible to lead a succesful city in this game. Even the scenarios start out with something bad happening. The only use for this stinking game is to throw it on the wall or take it apart and see what is inside the cartridge. Places like Wal-Mart jack up the price saying it is an amazing game. I got it for about $39.99, which the cashier said was mostly giving it away, compared to how famous it is. It sucks, mostly - that's what I've been saying for this whole thing. A review by Ben9er - they won't let kids have review names.
