The pre-planned scenarios aren't very fun- once a grasp of the basic concepts of the game are in hand, demolishing buildings to build police stations in hot spots or bulldozing districts to stop the spread of fire just feel like boring puzzle games. Granted, Will Wright could mold the game in any fashion that he desired, but SimCity seems a weird place to trumpet one's own ideological utopian vision. Some have said that to "win" you must lay out your city for mass public transit (with no roads) which strikes me as a lopsided statistical modelling job. There is little to do once you find that happy middle ground of taxes and spending- wait for enough funds, tweak your city a bit, wait for some more funds. The Bad:While the experience of playing SimCity is fun, the overall game is rather pointless. Build cities "organically" like London, or build your city according to a larger over-all plan, like Washington DC. Building a city from scratch is fun, and allows a person to experience the joys of being a ruler. The gameplay is familiar, system specs need not be powerful (unlike for the newer Sim installments), and gameplay is a bit smoother than on the standard DOS version.

Commercial buildings may suddenly find that they need an airport to expand trade, or housing may find itself changing rapidly as vast amounts of people come and leave. As the city’s size grows so do it’s needs. Successful mayoring will cause the small village to grow into a town, then a city and finally a metropolis. Earthquakes, floods and fires are all emergency situations that must be dealt to contain any damage. Taxes must be raised to ensure an income, and then portions allocated to public services such as policing and roads.
Some power sources pollute, others don’t but are more expensive. Make sure to consider which sites are effective for which tasks. There are 50 types of these, allowing for homes of all standards and different types of businesses.
