This book is very different then the SimCity 3000 guide. It has double the pages and detailed information on SimCity 3000 Unlimited. It has a building your first city section for beginners, all of the buildings and pictures, walkthroughs for scenarios, all the new rewards, what is new and different from SimCity 3000, tips, and so much more! I would recommend this for any SimCity 3000 or SimCity 3000 Unlimited player!

This review is from: SimCity 3000 Unlimited: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

The popular simulation game has many fans and now with its third update comes a revised SIM City Strategy guide. This exhaustive revision comes on the heels of the original guide for the 3000 version of the game. The Unlimited SC3K guide still applies to users of the regular 3K, but now contains a more more in depth coverage of the Building Architect, the new scenarios, and the ins and outs of building the best cities. There are many redundancies which actually help the user of the game understand what's happening. Additionally, the guide also serves to educate users on the principles of real city planning. Considering the length of this volume, the reader may feel qualified to work in city hall after digesting it all.
For anyone who loves their SIMCity 3K this book is just the icing on the cake.
