Brave New World

User Rating: 7.8 | SimCity 2000 Special Edition (Electronic Arts) PC
Sim city 2000 is easy to get in to. When you play this game the first time it's the most fun, especially if you are figuring it out on your own. You get to build and manage your own city. This is a lot of fun and very addictive. You also get to put a metro (subways) in the ground and there is much satisfaction in planning, building and seeing it work. You also have to buy police stations, fire stations, schools, hospitals, prisons and lots more.This time you see your city in 3d from a birdlike perspective, it's really nice, especially in 1995. The game plays easy, you can do it all with the mouse and it's easy to control. At a certain point though, if everything went well, your city is being consumed by these Jetsons-like futuristic skyscrapers. This is the last step of the city's growth and it makes every game you start end up more or less the same. This, plus that you might want to have a social life, makes that the game doesn't have much replay value. Anyway, the first game is a good time.
