    While previous owners of SimCity be upset at repurchasing this title, SimCity Deluxe is how things should have been and is an excellent adaption of the series for the App Store.

    If you're looking for a way to kill some time, or perhaps a way to inflate your ego a little by becoming the megalomaniacal mayor of a fake town, then this is a good way to do so, performance problems and all.

    Beyond the unavoidable considerations about the suitability of a city-building simulation game as SimCity Deluxe to a portable device, it must be said that the EA title becomes a real blast after a few minutes in which you have to understand what to do and how to do it.

    An attempt to address the deficiencies of the first iPhone game, SimCity Deluxe is likewise hampered by controls that simply don't befit the device.

    The gameplay it's self is quite good, aside from some major bugs, but the controls are terrible. You have to push so many tiny buttons and more often I end up pushing a button I did not want that ends up destroying a buildings or building something I never wanted.… Expand
