Det här är ett på alla vis imponerande spel. Ävem om man kan känna sig överväldigad vid en första anblick, hjälper den förträffliga manualen en att komma igång. För det finns mycket att leka med, och det är roligt att göra det.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Maxis' latest simulation extravaganza, Sim Life, looks almost exactly the same as Sim Earth. No-one could blame you either if, once you've caught a glimpse of the manual, you find yourself under the impression that it's even harder to get to grips with than its predecessor – if such a thing can be imagined. You would, however, be wrong on both counts.

Games Master
Basically, it is an incredibly deep, extremely complex affair which, after a little perseverance, is actually rather satisfying to play.

Amiga Format
Although Sim Life is initially confusing, once you get the hang of the complex control system, it's fascinating to see how the ecosystems develop, and how the smallest change can have a powerful effect. Each game takes a long time to develop, so if you're not prepared to invest a significant amount of time in playing a game, this is one to avoid!

The One
SimLife really is a 'game' that you'll either love or hate. It's deep and worthy but perhaps a little dull for some tastes and definitely not for the intellectually challenged or limited of patience.

Amiga Joker
Wer immer noch meint, der 1200er sei nicht groß in Kommen, der lasse sich mal folgendes auf der Zunge zergehen: Die PC-Konvertierung von Maxis’ Evo-SIMulation erscheint zuerst nur für den Turbomiga! Allzu lange werden jedoch auch die Freunde älterer “Freundinnen” nicht mehr darben müßen, soll die 500er-Variante doch gleichfalls dieser Tage auftauchen (einer Kurztest mit den Unterschieden findet Ihr daher wenn nicht in diesem, dann im nächsten Heft). Was nun vorliegende Spezialversion angeht, so kommt nur in ihren Genuß, wer zuvor einen kleinen Intelligenztest in Form der exotischen Installroutine meistert. Danach darf man je nach Hardware an das normal- oder hochaufgelöste Erschaffen von Bäumen und Bienen gehen – wobei wir den Hobby-Göttern freilich einen Multisync-Monitor und mehr als zwei Megabyte RAM dringendst an schöpferische Herz legen würden...

Amiga Power
Sim Life is overly complicated, tedious and can't seem to make its mind up what it is trying to be. it's a jack of all trades, and a master of one - being boring.
