Sorry, I am kind of out of it, bare with me.
After playing for a little while. The game is essentially an updated port. At the core, there is very little difference from the PC version from 12 years ago. Everything has been slightly upgraded, graphics, sound, and the gameplay is surprisingly solid. Sega pulled it off flawlessly. As far as a port goes, this is one that I can honestly say is a very good one. I'll write more about the additions and such later.
Is this game worth the purchase? It is certainly worth it for the hardcore fans of the original (like myself). It's also worth it for anyone who wants to play a laid back simulation game. Like the original, a lot of time can be spent observing the sims running through the tower. Altering rental prices, etc... Funny enough, the console version feels a little more free and open than the original PC version (though I might be remembering it incorrectly since I haven't played it in about 5 years now). This version of the game also comes with a very large introduction and in game tutorial/instructions. I haven't fully explored, but the game seems to have more options, more stuff to do, than the previous version; it still maintains the simplicity feeling of the other. Like the other, you won't have to be doing something all the time, but there is always something to do.
