Pros: good graphics, good control, easy to use
Cons: Need more control with neighboring cities
Summary: If you own the other SimCities and are worried that this is the same, it's not. You have greater control over the infrastructure of your city and you can wheel and deal with slimy businessmen, as well as, neighboring mayors. The best thing about this ... read more

Pros: Realistic scenery, sounds
Cons: slow at times
Summary: When I first loaded up the simulation, I did not know what to expect. I was really surprised after placing the first Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Zones. The buildings that appeared were so realistic that I had the feeling I was actually there. ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, hours of fun
Cons: Tough to build a self sustaining city
Summary: Take it from someone who played Simcity, Simcity 2000 (and some of the other Sim products) - Simcity 3000 is the best. There are many options that weren't in the previous games including linking up with neighboring cities, citizens groups that come to ... read more

Pros: Addicting, Improved graphics
Cons: Addicting!
Summary: SimCity 3000 has taken over my life, at least small chunks of it. The game is great. The improved graphics are much better than SimCity 2000. I've never really been a big computer gamer, much past Free Cell and I sort of lose interest. Not with ... read more

Pros: Very fun, you basically get to play god. What's better than that?
Cons: very addictive, hard to get the hang of at first
Summary: Well, I'm not usually one for most computer games. For some reason, I've always been very bad at them and end up just wanting to punch in the monitor and throw the keyboard out the window... Just cause all sorts of destruction. However, this game is ... read more

Pros: The game play with a 3d FX
Cons: not good for slower computers without a 3D card
Summary: Currently one of the best simulations around. From the start to the the finish you will be challenged. The more and better you build your city the more you will be rewarded with Land Mark and even your very own house. If you loved SC2000 you really love ... read more

Pros: Great Graphics, Fun, Addictive, Endless Ways to Design and Run your City
Cons: May run slow on some processors
Summary: I've played all the versions of Sim City, and SC3000 is definitely better and more addicting than it's predecessors. The graphics are amazing...with one little click, the leaning Tower of Pisa can be across the street from the Empire State Building. ... read more

Summary: Our pals at Maxis have done it again. Building another king of simulations, SimCity3000 doesn't disappoint. Improving on the SimCity2000 game, SC3K has smoother graphics, more features, and, in my mind, the best darned music I ever heard on a PC game. ... read more
