First off, let me clear up some misstatements about the features listed above by retrolio.com:*Realistic 3-D environmentWrong. The game is 2D, it merely looks 3D. It IS realistic, however. There is far more detail in 2D than could ever have been done in 3D and still hae it run on everyone’s machine.*View cities from up to 50,000 feetI guess…you have 5 zoom levels. The above implies that you can zoom to any level.*Detailed control over businesses and other facilitiesNone whatsoever other than being able to zone blocks of residential, commercial, and industrial areas, along with other specialized zones. You can’t micromanage any individual businesses.*Everything and everyone movesCars and SimCitizens move, so do some animated buildings, but certainly not EVERYTHING.*Optional load-in sets for customization and enhancementsThat’s handled much better in SC3K Unlimited.SimCity 3000 is a mixed bag for me. I love being able to play a fully updated version of 2000, but whether it should be called 3000 or 2100 is something of a dilemma.Graphics-wise, 3000 is beautiful! No two ways about it. A lot of hype has gone into the fact that you can now zoom in and see little sims walking, driving around in individual cars, and so on. The building images are now fully 4-sided entities so that rotating the view yields 4 different looks at each feature. Five zoom levels let you choose the size you’re comfortable with to build on. Some people claim that the buildings are blocky an.

this is a great game from maxis, who is one of the best computer game simulation companies(the sims, sim city, sim theme park). the graphics are great and dont get choppy even on a low video card, like i have. my only problem is that there could be more buildings, but overall a great game. BUY IT!

I loved SC2000, and when I first got SC3000, I wasn’t sure I liked it. But it didn’t take long before I was a convert. By comparison, SC2000 is a bore. Yes, it’s difficult–sometimes very difficult–to get your city started. And yes, it takes time. That’s what’s interesting about it. Finding the problems and finding ways to solve them. Is SC3000 perfect? No, there are a few things I’d change, but they’re little things and they don’t lessen my fun. SC3000 lives permanently in my CDROM for good reason!

Well the people at Maxis has done it again with another genious return of SimCity 3000. If u think the sequel was good wait till u try this game. Even though it left out some of the disasters like Hurricanes, Plane Crashes, and Floods this time, they even left the scenarios out, but once u r up and running on this game u will be hooked on it forever. They have a good variety of Starter Towns to get u to know about the game, and this time u could download real city terrains like NYC, San Francisco, Russia and etc. Plus they give u already made cities to. So be sure get SC3k and also SC3K Unlimited edition to.

Although I bought a used one, it arrived in good condition in a protected package, and worked without any problem. Works with any version of Windows. Does not require any special equipment beyond the standard computer hardware. My son loves it!

Sim City 3000 is really cool! You start off by making a Power Plant(I prefer Fusion or Microvave),laying power lines,zoning Residentail,Commercail,and Industrial areas,disposing of garbage,Making Roads and/or a Mass Transit System,Make Water Structures and pipelines,and Take care of Civic needs. Later in the game you might want to enact some ordinances(rules/laws),Make business deals with neighbors and organizations,set a budget(earlier on the computer does it for you),build rewards which most of them can only be optained thru Business Deals( ones optained without deal:county courthouse,Mayoral Mansion also know as you’re house,city hall,performing of arts center,and Monument/statue. ones optained thru deal:Gigamall,Amusement Park,Space Port,Defense Contractor,Country Golf Club,etc.). Plus you can add Landmarks to you’re City. This is a Great game,but for Sim City 2000 fans that want a totaly different game get the Unlimited Version(also known as Sim City 3000 Unlimited).

I enjoy playing this game for the most part. I have spent hours glued to the computer watching my cities grow. Unfortunately as the cities increase in population, so does the chances of the computer crashing – a very annoying problem. Also the parades last too long, the seaports are difficult to develop, the terrain for some cities, such as St. Louis, are unusually hilly, and the buildings look alike. The game is not that challenging. But overall a recommended game.
