The advantages of playing this game is that it provides players with
real insights and knowledge about the process of how to build a real
city. The entertainment software also guide users to be aware of
balancing different tradeoffs while making decisions. These decisions
involve budgeting, acting on complains and concerns from citizens,
commercial groups, environmentalists, and also preparing for a
prospersous city in a long-term perspective. The simulation game in
addition gives power to users to manipulate taxing power to generate
their spending money. In SimCity 2000, the spending money is similar
to the energy level in a "street fighter" game.
However, the game usually takes at least two hours to complete. For many, this is time-consuming comparing to other entertainment software. Others may prefer games that require less thinking. Thus, the nature of the game limits itself to a specific group of users.
