SimCity 2000

Should've stayed on PC


Genre: strategy - rts

Publisher: Black Pearl

Year: 1995

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Controls are wonky. It's a grid but moving from one box to the next requires more than one press. Why? Instead you need to hold down which has a terrible momentum buildup. Really hard to precisely place the cursor. Also the isometric view makes movement even more difficult and obscures the view. Difficult to differentiate between Res, Com, and Ind sectors. Much less approachable than the original. Long load times break up the action constantly.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Scenarios and whatnot but only a few. Not as appealing or goofy as the Nintendo original


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Same same


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Cluttered sprites make it hard to tell the difference between them. Busy. Hate the isometric view.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Obnoxious music


Overall Score: 29

Review ID: 494
