Whatever the case, Maxis has come out with a new sim that manages to keep most of what was good about the other titles, and incorporate just enough change to create a new challenge for all of the SimAddicts out there. I say that after SimFarm, SimTower and SimAnt, they have simply run out of places to develop. The cynic would say that SimIsle represents Maxis' effort to make up for creating a generation of developers, polluters and high-risers with their excellent and incredibly popular SimCity series of games. Humanity cuts them down for paper so we may record our emptiness." -a quote from Kahlil Gibran, on page one of SimIsle's 100-page paper manual. "Trees are a poem the Earth writes across the sky. Will you turn your island into a tourist trap, suck all the resources out of it, or leave it an unspoiled and pristine haven? It's all up to you. Like all Maxis sims, a wide variety of graphs, charts, and maps allow you to plot your progress toward the goal of the scenario. If your agent does not have the right skills to do the job, nothing will happen. This game introduces agents, who you send about the island in order to carry out your directives.
There is no specific scenario associated with this island. There is also one island, with a giant ghostly "X" on it, which you can shape and mold any way you wish. Five small islands comprise a tutorial that teaches the things you need to know to play the game. Unlike SimEarth, SimTower, or SimCity, SimIsle - subtitled "Missions in the Rainforest" - allows you to take over the development of any number of islands in a long chain.
