Ultimate Sim

The Good
I had a blast, loading my old SC2K cities into SimCopter and Streets, and just flying and/or driving around. It made me realise how inefficient and horribly-designed my cities were, and gave me an excuse to spend some time rebuilding them. :)

This is probably one of the best compilation packs I've seen, since the games all relate to one another (they use the same data files).

The Bad
Unfortunatly, my cities were too enormous - there are only so many things you can do with a single helicopter. Within minutes, my map-sprawling cities were engulfed in flames, crime ran rampant, traffic was at a standstill, and I didn't have enough fuel to get from one end to the other (in either of the vehicle-based games).

Also, the graphics and sound for Copter and Streets were pretty horrid, but they were based on DirectX 3 technology, after all. If you squint, you can make out what certain buildings are supposed to be...

The Bottom Line
If you need a way to kill time, and were fond of SimCity 2000 but wanted "more", I'd recommend this compilation. With three games, you probably won't get bored too quickly, and it's certainly cheaper and easier than finding any of the three seperatly these days. But if you're looking for flashy graphics or sound, you might want to pass it by.
