    Those who just love people simulations need to rush out and give this game a try.

    Technically flawed and painfully ugly in comparison to just about every other PS2 videogame, its distinct personality and interesting city-building techniques have a strange way of growing on you.

    The game’s worth a visit for anyone whose ideal night of TV involves The Simpsons episode where they go to Japan followed by two Iron Chef episodes back-to-back. It is, however, potentially baffling to anyone else.

    A charming game, as you’d expect from Natsume but one that won’t attract anyone new to such a bizarrely implemented concept.

    It's extremely awkward. [Oct 2002, p.148]

    should've just went the simcity route of letting you build your own city however you want because the missions can be way too long in this game.

Don't expect to complete it if you're a casual player or don't have enough time, it's a VERY long game.… Full Review »
