Customer Reviews of SimCity 3000

Although the basic format has been preserved from Sim City 2000, many details have been modified. The graphics in Sim City 3000 are much cleaner and detailed than its predecessor's. You also get to control trade with your neighbors, including deals for the sale and purchase of water, electricity, and garbage. That's right, garbage. In Sim City 3000 you must also manage landfills and trash-burning power plants to keep your city clean. You also have much more control over ordinances.

This time around, the game is also much more glitch-free. You should have less trouble building that road you want exactly where you want it. Also, a very disgusting aspect of Sim City 2000, the arcologies, has been removed. The problem with this is, they just vanish if you use the 'import' feature in Sim City 3000 to bring in your old cities. Oh well. Deal with maintaining a real city.

All in all a great game. The improvements aren't obvious at first, but play a bit and you'll see how much more enjoyable it is while still maintaining its classic touch.

Probably The Best Sim Game (Besides "The Sims")
This is a pretty cool game. But the loading is slooooow. It's neat how you can create and control your own urban empire. You can put in resedential zones, commercial areas, indusrtrial zones, trees, water, electricity (powerlines), water pipes, roads, highways, buildings from all around the world (including the World Trade Center), parks, ponds, schools, churches, libraries, fire stations, jails, police squads, and much, much more! It's enjoyable and fun. You must watch out for disasters that can happen by themselves. Which reminds me, you can start your own disasters! There's riots, fires, tornados, earthquakes, and UFO's (which is a little phsyco, but hey, it's the Sims!). Don't forget to warn your Sims with the siren! There's also humorous phrases on the simulator bar at the bottom of the screen! You can speed time up from a lalma to a cheetah. Like all real cities, you have money. You gotta use your money carefully of course. Of course you can always get loans if your city is sagging and getting kinda "destroyed". Also, there are like, city "reporters" that inform you about your city needs. There is an environmentalist, policeman, and a few more. You may also 'reject' and 'accept' some of the other city "reporters" questions and needs (perhaps). Well, I forgot what I was going to say for the rest of this review, and I'll make another one if I remember it-- sorry. Well, I guess that's enough to get you interested!

very good and perhaps better than SC2000
I found this to be a delightful game. I played it the most on my mother's old HP Celeron 466 with only a small video card so sometimes it ran slowly. On today's computer's I'm sure it won't be a problem though. I loved the older version--Sim City 2000--and this seemed to improve on that (other than the need for a fast computer) and it struck a good balance between being realistic and being too complicated.

I suspect you will really like it and you will be happy you bought it.
