SimCity 3000 UnlimitedReview by Rob
o v e r v i e w
OK. How much is really new here? Who cares?! Die hard SimCity fans will
buy
this new edition no matter what. And being one of them, I can't bring
myself
to discourage that choice (undoubtedly due to the subliminal messages
played
within the wonderfully tranquil background music). Unlimited does add
some
nice touches to SimCity 3000. The biggest is the opportunity to create
cities with varying architectural styles. In addition to the North
American
look, you can now create cities with an Asian or European style. You
can
also change the topography. Instead of being stuck with the "plains"
style
of SC3000, you can now create maps with desert, prairie, tropical or
arctic
landscape. You can even change the type of trees that make up the
landscape
in your city. Nice touches indeed.
For those mayors who are more into mischief or just like solving
challenges,
Unlimited brings four new disasters to the plate including swarms of
locusts
(for all you Biblical fans out there), whirlpools, space debris and
toxic
clouds. Unlimited all comes complete with 13 new scenarios designed to
give
even the best mayors a run for their money - er, simoleans. SimCity
3000
Unlimited is the same great fun you expect from a Maxis Sim title. If
you've
never played, I HIGHLY recommend you pick it up. If you have SimCity
3000,
you don't really need this but you probably can't resist the urge
anyway!
