Summary:
This game to me is very hard at first but later you get the idea. I think the animation are juast right. Don't say it's just like building hotels forever, because you get to actually build lots of different things! Even housekeeping. They keep out nasty cockraoches from hotels. The sounds very realistic and not loud, boomy music.

Summary:
I would say a pretty cool game. Where I live, there isn't much to do, so this game really helps me pass the time. Even though it may discourage u that about half of your tower designs don't work, u should still play cause I eventually found a good tower design. You might too! I really like the fact that this game doesn't take up all the space on my computer like The Sims and all it's expansion packs did. Also, it is easy to understand and learn how to play. I got frusterated on trying to learn how to play SimCity ( like getting water to the people. The pipe would be right under their house, but they still wouldn't get water).
You also get VIP visits, Bomb threats, and fires.

Summary:
I really like this game. Though its not near as fun as Sim City 3000 or the Sims, its a really good game for the year that it was made. Its easy to install, and very easy to learn and play.

Summary:
A very simple SIM game that's cute and fun. The game itself really isn't challenging, the only problem that one might run into is managing the Traffic flow... The rules of the game is what might make this game not a great sim game though... Though Some option are available to direct your tower's traffic, ultimately the restrictions (such as there's a maximum number of how many elevator shaft and stairs one can make) are the bottleneck for this game... Dated way back on... Gosh I forgot... The graphics are not great but very colorful and fill the mood... The sounds are the basic people chatter and elevator sounds... And on the newer windows (2000, ME and such) there tends to be problems.... Just shut down stuff like VShield and other thing on toolbar (that you don't need) and make sure that you click the fast mode off so it doesn't run amok. The best thing about this game??? It's in a small windows, meaning that one can surf the internet while playing the game without hogging resources (and if it does that means you need to trash your computer and get a new one)
On a side note, I have yet to find another game where one can play (and I mean PLAY) a game in window-mode while using internet... Most game will hog the resources and either the game play become chopppppy or it's just too small to see what's really going on in the game... So for $5 (or something like that) this game is excellent to kill your boredom while waiting for the person to answer your chat message

Summary:
I have been wanting this game forever and now I finally obtained it. I play this game every now and then but when I play it I don't want to stop. This is a very challeging game. I like this better than other Sim games. It doesn't beat the Sims but it gets the job done.
