| Cynthia411's Full Review: Simcity 2000 for PlayStation 1 |
SimCity 2000 is a game I purchased for my husband, when he starts to play it, I will not see him for hours, he usually begins to play at night, I get tired of waiting and finally go to bed! The nights he plays I am not sure if he actually goes to bed or not.
When I play SimCity I am amused for about a hour or two then had enough. The game is fun, but totally frustrates me, because I have no clue how to win the game!!!!
What is Sim City? It is basically a game where you are the Mayor of a city, that you name whatever you want to call it. You start off with a landscape of trees, land, and water. You can modify it to you're liking before starting the game. Then you need to build roads, put in powerlines and powerplants. Schools, PoliceStations, etc.... Basically everything you need so people will move into your city. You are in controll of everthing from Taxes, to where residential and commercial land goes. The more extras you give the Sims (what people are called that move into your city) the more they will move in and the happier they will be.
This game also has disasters, such as floods and riots! It is up to you to send the police and fire departments to take care of the problems. Your city usually gets destroyed unless you take care of the problem quickly enough, if the town is destroyed you must rebuild.
You can borrow money in case you run out but you need to pay it back. After awhile your powerplants do not supply enough power so you must build more. So the concept of the game is really cool. The game is addicting and you can play for hours and lose track of time!
One little secret I have learned from the game is tax rates. You will do better and make more money if you have a lower tax rate for the industrial properties then for the residential properties. The more business's you have, the more people want to live in your city to work.
BUT!! and this is a big but! I HAVE NO CLUE HOW YOU WIN!!!! If someone reads this and knows the whole idea of winning the game, please email me and let me know, because this has been bothering me for a very long time! My husband does not even know.
