SimCity 3000 Unlimited for Windows

Pros: Hours of Fun- Never the Same Twice
Cons: Will Never Master This Game

Sim City 3000 was the first computer game I ever purchased and certainly not at all like the 'action' games I've since acquired.

This is definitely a 'thinking man's' game. (For the politically correct, that equates to a 'thinking person's'...

Pros: Graphically pleasing simulation game that can be difficult and stimulating
Cons: Becomes repetitive after a while

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 it grow, save it from disasters and ensure that it becomes a metropolis was intriguing and I spent many...

Pros: It is very real.
Cons: Might be too real or too sterile for some.

There are fewer thrills in life than watching an empty piece of land develop into a mighty metropolis, brimming with shiny skyscrapers, museums, parks, and high tech industry. Sim City 3000 Unlimited (SC3KU) puts this far-reaching power into your hands,...

Pros: Slightly nicer graphics
Cons: Little improvement, Hardware intensive

Note: this is a review of the Windows version.

Being an avid fan of the Sim City series ever since it's humble beginnings on the one true platform (Macintosh), I expected so much more from Sim City 3000.

First of all Sim City 2000...

Pros: Highly Addictive, Excellent Graphics, Lotsa Additions
Cons: No Sign Posts or Scenarios, Petitioners, News Ticker & Advisors can become annoying

Like it’s predecessor Simcity 2000 I found myself whispering in the early hours of the morning, “Just 5 more minutes, and I’ll go to bed.” Of course as anyone who’s ever played this game will testify that never happens, and you usually just play for...

Pros: Sound, Idea, Graphics
Cons: Not quite there yet SC...

It was a quiet year in San Erico … a cozy Californian town of 4900. The days melted into weeks, which carried into months and so on. They just never saw it coming… On July 2nd 2293 a horrific earthquake shook the town like no other. Meanwhile, aliens...

Pros: Great fun! For all ages; Nice updates
Cons: expensive to upgrade; may not run great on older computers

While a round of Simcity 3000 unlimited won't exactly lead to delusions of grandeur...it is a fun, violence-free (most of the time, anyway) engaging way to exert total control over your little slice of the world!

As you can see, by looking at...

Pros: Excellent graphics, tons of new features, good for any skill level
Cons: Way too addictive; animations slow down the game at times

Just like a virtual Richard Scarry book, there are always lots of things going on in any SimCity game. Instead of merely scoring, killing, or stacking bricks to win, SimCity demands of its players the ability to be good planners, good listeners, and good...

Pros: Like watching plants grow at a rate, but fast enough to see changes per min.
Cons: Minor 'happiness' messages appear too often

Simcity 3000 ( also known as Simcity 3k ) is a sequel to Simcity 2000 ( which was a sequel to Simcity ); it's a simulation of a city that you begin from the ground up ( unless you use a pre-made city ).

Pros: Addictive game play; best city simulation on the market
Cons: Needs a restart once in awhile

Ok, what do you do when your CD-ROM burns out on your computer? You go out and buy another one, right? Sure, and as you pass by the aisle display for Sim City 3000 you reminisce about the old Sim City with its crude graphics and the hours of fun spent...

Pros: Very captivating and addictive
Cons: Price is a little much

I am a SimCity addict. I own all the SimCity titles: SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000 (which I've also reviewed), and finally, SimCity 3000 Unlimited. A lot like it's predecessor, SimCity 3000, SC3KU is a very addictive game. It's also a...

Pros: Great graphics
Cons: Difficult Gameplay

When I first picked up SimCity 3000, it was with great hope. Ever since playing the original SimCity on SNES, I had been a Sim addict. I hoped that this newest release would be a leap forward in design and fun, as SC2K was to the first in the series....

Pros: Still the same great classic
Cons: Still the same

For those of you who have never played this game, its one of those thats really kind of stupid, but VERY addictive. You are trying to build a city (obviously). You need to build a power plant, run power lines, supply your city with water and zone your...

Pros: Great Graphics, Hours of Fun
Cons: Can't wait for 4000

I am a big fan of the Sim City Series and 3000 wasn't a disappointment either. Owning all of the versions, I can definintely say that this one was the best. The graphics are awesome, and there are plenty of options for developing your city. I can...

Pros: graphics
Cons: very large, not fun, dont enjoy playing

I was really excited for this game. After waiting for about almost a year, I was extremely disapointed with this game. When I purchased it, it was way too much for the type of game it was. It required too much hard drive space and RAM and a decent...
