    Provides hours of entertainment....and then you start to use cheats and it provides hour more.

    Skip Simcity 4, its terrible DRM and "improvements" to gameplay and just by this for the classic SimCity experience we all know an love.

    Awesome game for them who likes to build cities. There is so many ways to create an awesome city, and the graphics are good. I like to listen the songs in this game too, while building your own city!

    SimCity 3000 was my first game about city management. I have the CD to this day. In the period it was released, it was considered one of the best games. This game guaranteed me hours of fun!

  1. No matter how you look at it, "SimCity 3000 Unlimited" is a city full of fun.
  2. 91
    With all the options available to players, the added building sets, the scenarios, the create-your-own building feature, all the goodness from SimCity 3000, some tutorials thrown in for new players to even out the package, and the literally unlimited amount of cool stuff available on SimCity Exchange, it's certainly worth picking up.
  3. Like "SimCity 2000" and "SimCity 3000," this version can be extremely challenging and requires more micromanaging than even New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani would want.
