Despite that it came out a few years ago it's still a fun game to play for GBA Despite it's limits you have to understand what hardware the GBA has which is an advanced 32bit version of the SNES hardware which is still more powerful then all the hardware combined that sent the space shuttles to the Moon so lets not gripe on the hardware side but this version of Sim City plays ok but i would not give it to the kids they might get frustrated i am 26 years old and had a time with it at first till i got use to the controls i rank it with Sim City DS which i also give a 4star rating over all good to have in your collection if you like the Sim City games and not the crappy Sim series of games

The Sims are fun- Just not this one.

I reccomend the sims buting out or the urbz. its very hard to get money and you'll have to know what industral, commercial, and industerial- boring. This is supposed to be a game... not homework. I'm her daughter, by the way.

Fun for those who know the Game

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.

- 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"

Not worth the money!

This Game is glitchy and slow making movement of the camera very hard. Wierd controls and layout. Not nearly as good as the origanal!

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.

The wost game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I Expected ALOT MORE

This game sucks I Havent even bought this game but my cousin did and when he came over I tried it, Its THE crappiest game ever. When ever you have a fire in your city you can only put a limited amount of firefighters on the scene(about 10)and when an alien attacks your town (how stupid is that!) You can only put about 8 firefighters and cops are limited to!+ You start with about 15000 (not alot)

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.
