SimCity 3000 vs SimCity BuildIt
SimCity 3000
SimCity 3000 is a pretty old-school version of SimCity. However, aside from the aging graphics, the game is still pretty fun to this day. The game provides you with 13 challenging scenarios to play in or you can simply hop into its sandbox mode and enjoy building a city whichever way you like. There are also "fun" (for you) disasters that you can unleash onto your poor Sims, obliberating homes and high-rise buildings alike. With more buildings (landmarks specifically) than ever, SimCity 3000 is a great step-up from the previous and is a testament to the old-school version of SimCity... and well, just in case you have an insatiable craving to play an older version of the SimCity, SimCity 3000 is a game you can play.SimCity BuildIt
SimCity BuildIt is an incredibly immersive city-building simulation game where you, as the mayor of a small town, strive to develop a bustling metropolis of your dreams. By manufacturing and crafting a variety of goods, you can use these items to earn some cash or to upgrade your existing buildings so they can house more people. Help your fellow citizens solve their daily problems by adding or expanding roads, building entertainment outlets, parks or any other useful facilities nearby, and, of course, making sure that their basic needs (electricity, water and waste management) is well-taken care of.The game has so many different buildings that you can construct, some of which will require special materials obtainable by periodic orders at the airport or at the docks. Best yet, you can even get Dr. Vu to launch one of his devastating experiments onto the city you've built, just so you can see the amazing effects and also to earn rewards for repairing the damaged buildings. SimCity BuildIt has also added a more competitive element by hosting frequent tournaments where mayors can complete a set list of quest objectives to earn points and rank higher on the leaderboard or even to eventually move on to a higher league.
When it comes to city-building games, there are many on the mobile platform but SimCity BuildIt manages to set itself apart from all the rest, not by having gorgeous graphics, but because it retains many of the fun and somewhat strategic elements, albeit in a much more mobile friendly and simplified way, that made SimCity (the franchise) so popular among gamers.
