Now you can have your own dream city in the palm of your hand with SimCity 2000 for Pocket PC. Be the undisputed ruler of a sophisticated real-time simulated city. Choose from existing cities or build your own dream city from the ground up. Either way, you become both mayor and city planner and are given complete autonomy. Your city is populated by simulated citizens called Sims. Like humans, they build houses, condos, churches, stores, factories, and much more. But the similarities don't stop there; they also complain about everything from taxes to the mayor. Should the Sims get too unhappy, they move, you get less tax dollars, and--poof!--your utopian city deteriorates before your eyes. Think you can beat the odds? Find out in this Pocket PC version with its dynamic rules and outcomes based on city planning, resource management, social services, and unemployment, as well as a broad range of other factors that will make or break the life and livability of your urban masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game but difficult to play, March 1, 2002

This review is from: Sim City 2000 (Video Game)

I have played this game for a couple of weeks now and it is still enjoyable. I understood how to play with the excellent manual but it is too large to print and only comes in the Adobe Acrobat Reader. There is no tutorial, but the game was easy to get the hang of. It takes awhile to build the city that you were hoping to build but when you finish the project, it is fun to keep your city going for many years. You can select many different disasters that can happen to your city so that you're not always bored waiting for the money to rack up. Overall, this is the best game I have played for the pocket pc; seriously.

This review is from: Sim City 2000 (Video Game)

The game is a faithful reproduction of the PC version of SC2K. All functionality is present, even if a bit more cumbersome to access on the smaller screen. Everything from the opening music, to the newspaper stories, all the way up to the Arcos is included.

One word of caution to prospective buyers...thus far I have been unable to find a way to multitask while playing this game (played on a Toshiba e310). While the game is running, the ability to access other PDA functions seems to be disabled.

That said, SimCity fans will not be disappointed. The graphics are very sharp and the interface is quite friendly (even if a little different from the PC version).
