User Rating: 8.2 | SimCity 2000 Special Edition (Electronic Arts) PC
Introduction: Wow..SIMCity 2000 really took a step forward for the SC games. SC2K is one of the greatest SC games to ever be made, despite its low graphics. SC2K was the next step up after the original SC game, and did an incredible job of helping to bring this gaming legend to life. Gameplay: As with the other SC games, it is up to you as Mayor to build up a mighty, fluroushing city with your own 2 hands. You build a powerplant to power your city, water pumps to deliver water to its populous, fill the city with roads so the Sims can get around, and begin building homes, stores, workplaces, police stations, fire departments, airports, everything that the Sims want and need in a city. You can alter the fund information, such as how much money the police department needs to operate, etc, to save on the cities money, and you can consult a team of experts as to how you should improve your city, or what your doing wrong. SC2K is a very fun game, and as with the other SIM games, you can get highly addicted to it. Story: ...havent you been paying attention? Its a SIM game, you dont need a story. Just build your city to your hearts desire. Graphics and Sound: Well, the graphics. I have to admit, as low-tech as the graphics are, they work so well with this game. Your entire view of the city is an overhead-corner diagonal view ( your looking diagonally down from one of the corners of the city ), which allows 3D-ish building structure in a 2-D enviroment. For the sounds, there isnt much from the theme and the small effect when you plop down something or bulldoze something else. Replayability: Damn right. SC2K doesnt require much in the way of system resources as it was made around '98, and due to its highly addictiveness, this will surely be a game you'll play many times, just to perfect that favorite city. Final Recommendation: After careful review, i give SIMCity 2000 a 9/10. Its a great, classic game, that will entertain even the highest level of gamer.
