    Sim City goes all Bill and Ted's Awesome Reconstruction Adventure. Quite simply the only regional administration simulation you need to own.

    The most fun I've had with the SimCity franchise since SimCity 2000.

    A worthy entry in the series that manages to one-up its DS predecessor.

    Here is a competent strategy game, far from perfect and more demanding than it initially looks. Great for those with a lot of time in their hands.

    Thanks to its branching era structure, you'll be able to play this one over and over again, and perhaps one day you'll build that perfect city for the ages.

    SimCity Creator carries over some trademark gameplay aspects from the original SimCity series, though SimCity veterans may find Creator a bit simplified for their tastes.

    SimCity Creator might be entertaining if it were the last game on earth, but even then, we might just resort to Hangman.

    I always liked simcity on PC and overall this stays pretty true to the franchise, you can build up a city through the ages and unlock newI always liked simcity on PC and overall this stays pretty true to the franchise, you can build up a city through the ages and unlock new buildings to watch your sims thrive. The only problem is that you have less freedom to do what you want in this game. There are always things going wrong and yu can only have 2 saves which means that those people who want to have serious cities and fun cities will really have to choose carefully. The map is also too small which means that it gets too hard to keep growing your city. If you like simcity like I do you will still find enjoyment for a while but its the little things that let it down.… Expand
