4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Game, February 9, 2001

By	"pittstonjoma" (USA) - See all my reviews

This is a pretty decent game. It is very hard to play at first, but after a few days, you will get the hang of it. You can personalize your city using the Urban Renewal Kit. You can even paint your buidings, and/or you can place cool buildings in your city whenever you want. The only problem that I have with the game is the lack of funding for your city. You have to issue many bonds, which are very hard to pay off. Nevertheless, this game is fun, and I recommend it to everyone. With patience, you'll be building a lot of cities! Remember: Build a power plant first. You can't have a city without electricity, right? Start your city near a lake or river and build a lot of water pumps. Build them on the shores of your body of water. Connect the pumps with power lines from your power plant. Now build some zones. Connect them with roads, power,and water pipes from your water pumps. Now build a hospital, a school,a college, a police station, a fire department, and a jail. You might also want to build stadiums and/or parks. Remember the pipes, roads, and power lines. Fund everything at least 80% and listen to what people have to say about your city so you don't have problems. Good Luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Development, March 30, 2000

By	T. (CA) - See all my reviews

This game introduced me at a young age to communial development planning, and money management. This game is, I guess you could say, one to grow with, it takes time and it helps one to learn along the way. I'd also like to add that it helps, especially a younger mind, to experience freedom with their money allowing them to spend it as they choose. If he/she spends it unwisely (go bankrupt) that person will know to become better managers of their money the next time.
