Good Game, bit limiting... by I. Dickinson  4 Stars
March 02, 2010
It's a good quality game, does what it is suppose to and runs on both Mac's and PC's. Not a very "deep" game, but good quick fun. This appears to be geared towards elementary schools. It is a good game for adults to play in their spare time. Don't expect the depth of a sim city, although it is similar in ways.

Shameless, unfun propaganda for nuclear energy - rip off! by Firesaint (Colorado)  1 Stars
February 17, 2010
National Geographic needs to look a little harder at the junk they slap their name on. This "game" is boring and rigid, for kids & adults alike - and the rub is, in order to get your "green" town to progress along, you are required to build not one, but two nuclear reactors. I know this is a debate for some, but for the rest of us who can actually read, nuclear energy is NOT clean or green. Anything that produces waste you need to bury for 10,000 years is not "green" by any stretch of the imagination. What's sick, is that this little piece of garbage is targeted to kids who don't know any better. Seriously, the big "You Win" screen shot has cooling towers on the cover of National Geographic, telling you what a fine job you've done building your nuclear power plants just in time for Earth Day.
The package implies a Sim-City type of game, but you're very limited in what you can build & when. No one should pay for this. I'm surprised the nuclear energy lobby isn't handing this thing out as a free download, since it is basically one big ad for nuclear power.
Sick.
Shame on National Geographic.

Creative and challenging by Sura Leah  5 Stars
January 02, 2010
My 9-year-old son and daughter enjoy this game a lot. While playing a challenging and creative game with 45 levels, they learn how to save energy and build a healthy environment. The learn when it pays to destroy old structures and create new ones for greater efficiency and when it does not pay. The graphics are tasteful and appealing. I recommend it highly.

Plan not to buy it. by Robert Carmody (Reno) 1 Stars
October 10, 2009
If you believe this game has the freedom and enjoyment of an open-ended Sim City type game, you are wrong.
Don't waste your money.
A learning tool ? Only if you want your kids to believe the government should tear down your home.
The game is silly.
