I love the Sim city series, but this was just a huge disappointment. I got bored of playing it in less than two days. There's so little options to build, plus there's no animations, as people have mentioned before: no cars or trains or people in the stadiums.There are boats and planes though. I know it's a handheld game so they couldn't put too much on there but come on! I remember playing the first Sim City when it came out in the early 90s and it was much better than this.
The game also got slow when a monster attacked it, and sometimes has a few other problems such as police stations becoming invisible and train and bus stations not having any passengers riding on it (Is this just me or do other people have this problem??)

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)

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

When I first heard about Sim City 2000 on the GBA, I thought dang that should be pretty sweet. Then I realized that in actuality, the game would probably be pretty lousy due to the small screen and limits of the GBA. Still I decided to pick up a copy anyways but it wasn't worth the $20.

As some have said, yes the game can be fun for a short period of time but then you'll most likely never get the urge to play it again. Doing some simple tasks in the game proves to be a bigger chore than in other versions and the cities you create feel empty and lifeless. However, if you've got lots of time on your hands and don't mind some of the neater additions of the pc versions missing along with some slowdown when disasters occur, then you will probably enjoy this game.

- 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!

The Sims are fun- Just not this one.

As a big fan of the PC (and event Super Nintendo version), I was so excited to get this game. But, it turns out that it wasn't worth the money. The parred down controls make it very boring after awhile - no subways or waterpipes to put in. They are missing a lot of the little detail such as the cars, etc. And, it's very complicated to lay streets and stuff in the direction you want or to scroll around to see your city. Don't bother with this one.

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.

STICK WITH THE COMPUTER!

Ok this one was ok but it takes along time to scroll and where have the cars gone? Very tedious disasters such as the earthquake, screen shakes a little and that's it! ANd no highways or signs, and when you build things it gets this stupid "Loding" screen and what the heck where they trying to tell with the bumble bee? Also there is not much fun in it and the menu music sucks. Take a PC or Mac version of this, they are much better.
