First off, this is SimCity. Its just a more elaborate form of the original one. We all know what SimCity is, right?
O.k., for the three of you out there who don't know, SimCity is a city planning simulator and probably (barring the rising sun of the "The Sims: Why ruin your own life when you can ruin someone else's?" game) the most famous and well known game in the Sim series.
SimCity DS is basically a port of the PC game SimCity 3000, and while 3000 isn't the most recent one (SimCity 4 and SimCity Societies both came afterwards) it was the one that could best be applied to the Nintendo DS's capabilities. An it is a really good port. Some of the more complicated aspects are lost, but overall Its the SimCity we know and love.
The difficulties have been toned down a bit, which is nice because in the original Easy=Hard, Medium=Really Hard and Hard=DEATH. The only main complaint I have is the loss of the Ordinance system, Times when Isolated Trees 30 miles from your city suddenly spontaneously Combust and your adviser screams at you to build a road out there so fire trucks can get to it, and when residents barge into your office to scream at you despite the fact that you've built like 15 hospitals and there's no demand for commercial Zones.
These cons however in no way take away from the gameplay and I'm having a lot of fun. I'd rather be playing 3000 for the computer, but I feel just fine playing this.
I like this game. It is a lot like the PC game simcity 4. It only allows you to save and continue one city though. To have multi-player interaction, every player must have their own game card.
Hi,
I always like sim games, simcity is a goldy oldy for me and I was eager to try this newer version on my DS. It took a little time to get started, but the tutorial was excellent and the controls are easy to master. I liked the 'save the city' games a lot and abandoned building my own metropolis altogether to play the challenges. I would like to see a lot more of them then the featured 5 or so, but I still enjoy every frustrating minute of them.
I hope this review helps.
I purchased the game for my ten year old son. He loves to play it.He can build cities and manage them.It is rated E so I don't have to worry about his exposure to inappropriate content.
I was really impressed by the port to the DS.
For SimCity fans out there, this iteration of the series is very similar to SimCity 3000. This game is definitely enjoyable, and some of the fun features of the DS that you use in the minigames are a lot of fun. The stylus system for zoning and constructing buildings is very natural, and I think the graphics are quite nice for a handheld.
On the whole, I would say this game is very enjoyable, and won't disappoint fans of the series.
