This is my favourite game in the Simcity series, 2000 was great but lacked graphical detail, and 4000 just didn't feel right, the map system was very wrong for Simcity. 3000 on the other hand is basically a spruced up 2000, with 3D looking graphics and some deeper gameplay elements. Gameplay-wise it's very similar ...  Read the complete review

I've had this game for a few years now but recently replaced it with SimCity 4. Basically it's just a building game - you build up you're city, give it power, water, education, entertainment, transport, police/fire cover etc. and then see if you build up a big successful city. It's quite challenging at first - building your ...  Read the complete review

Sim City 3000 is a very fun game at first. I bought mine second-hand from a shop for a few pounds, but you can get them used off amazon.co.uk for just 45p! Well worth it for quite a bit of play! It's the most addicting game the first time you play it, but I got bored of it very soon. It's not the newest version, because Sim City 4 is out ...  Read the complete review

I have to start by saying that the original idea of the Sim City games was fantastic. You are given all the tools required to build your own city, and if that wasn't enough you can then see if it all works. You design the complete layout, transport structures, power distribution, etc and even have the power to raise and lower taxes, ...  Read the complete review

Simulation games are perhaps one of the most satisfying games around as they provide unique game play while still being realistic enough to allow you to experience real life situations. One of the first games I played when I purchased my first PC (an Olivetti 386sx) was Sim City. The concept of being able to build a city, watch ...  Read the complete review

The Basics: I know what you're thinking. I know because it was what I was thinking before I played this latest installment in the Sim series. "It's probably the same game, with a little better graphics." Well I've got a few surprises for you. For starters, the graphics aren't a whole lot different (more on ...  Read the complete review

Fancy building your whole city and turning it into a goldmine? Or perhaps building it and having complete fun in destroying it! If you like to do that kind of stuff, this game is for you. Sim City 3000 first captured my attention when it came out in the shops, but I didn’t buy it then. Instead I waited for it to go into EA ...  Read the complete review

This game is more addictive than smoking for some people. You can say to yourself ‘oh I’ll spend half an hour on the game then I’ll do some work’ but you should do the work before you play as you will be on this game for hours on end. Some say that this game is boring but if you like being in control then you ...  Read the complete review

My memory of Sim City goes back to the best version of the original game: Sim City for the SNES. In the first year that the console was out, we had the choice between buying games that involved running and jumping or games that were almost identical to Street Fighter II. In this atmosphere, Sim City looked amazing. Reading the ...  Read the complete review

I think every gamer on the planet has heard of the Sim City series, and at one time or another, chances are they would have owned or at least played one of the Sim City games, such is their predominance and heritage in the gaming world. Possibly the best known 'god' game, certainly the most popular in terms of sales, and their ...  Read the complete review

Sim City has been around for as long as I can remember and before I played this version it had been a while since I played it, I think the last time was on a SNES. However since then Sim City has come in many versions such as Sim City 2000 and even an online version, which apprt from the graphics has exactly the same game play. The only ...  Read the complete review

You either love it or hate it; some will like to play the role of mayor in some of the game’s real life scenarios or create their own cities. Others will find the whole process tiresome, repetitive and somewhat unrealistic. First of all, if ...  Read the complete review

I have been a Sim City player ever since the original version came out. It has never failed to captivate me, and it keeps getting better with each version. The game essentially allows you to set up a city, manage its growth, and then manage a large number of factors (zoning, utilities, tax rates, the mix of housing, commercial and ...  Read the complete review

Sim City 3000 is a good game, and worth buying for fans of the genre, but it does have its weaknesses. The graphics are as good as they could be as is the sound. But i don't like the fact that you have little control over what buildings are built, i prefer games where you build every aspect of your thing like holiday island. It seems ...  Read the complete review
