Amazon.co.uk Review
SimCity 3000 is back, and it's bigger than ever! Maxis pulled out all the stops for this new version of the bestselling game, adding enough new customised graphics to re-create cities from around the world. The new European and Asian building sets serve up hundreds of new buildings that match the architecture of these diverse environments. From the Great Wall to the Berlin Wall, it's in there. Of course, you can still mix and match--freedom to run a city as you choose has always been the name of this game.

No addition to the SimCity family would be complete without some new methods for destroying your creations, and SimCity 3000 World Edition has four more devastating disasters than the old version. You can re-create the movie Armageddon by unleashing large chunks of flaming space debris, smite your populace with a buzzing swarm of locusts, destroy seaports and coastal developments with a whirlpool, or uncork some toxic clouds.

The Building Architect, formerly available as a free download, is now packed on the CD-ROM. This 3-D architectural program lets users create the buildings of their dreams, from dilapidated outhouses to towering skyscrapers to works of modern art that are intended for pure decoration. Don't worry if you don't feel like using this powerful tool to create things yourself--the game comes with dozens of new ways to make your cities unique, and you can always head to the SimCity Exchange to download imaginative add-ons created by other users. The infinite expandability and infinite replayability of this game should keep would-be mayors completely occupied until they move to the suburbs of The Sims. --Stuart M Miles

Very Godd
The first sim city 3000 was great. But this one is...excellent. You need to buy it.

New And Improved !
If you like me have had many hours playing Sim City and Sim City 2000, then this title will be no surprise to you. The exciting element in this new version is the enhanced control engine, for building your city. There is much more interplay with your tenants and neibours of your city, which at times can be a handfull. You have the opportunity to build many World Landmarks, and also I believe the opportunity to load in more from the internet later, as if you needed more. I did find one annoying factor in the scrolling of the city, you have to press a mouse button, to move around the page, unlike previous versions that auto scrolled as you moved the mouse. The new factors, and challenges in this new version, should keep you sim addicts occupied, and at the same time pulling your hair out with the new challenges. I almost forgot, there's also an option if you have The Sims also from Maxis to design your own homes, and place them in your city. Hope that all helps guys !
