SimCity Goes Pint-Sized With DS Release

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on September 10, 2007

I can remember all of those years ago when the first SimCity was released on the PC - it really was something totally new and managed to create a whole genre. Well now it has hit the DS, squeezing metropolis management into handheld proportions. So how does it fare?

SimCity Goes Pint-Sized With DS Release


In terms of playability the DS manages to overcome previous consoles' limitations by making great (and exclusive) use of the DS touchscreen. The touchscreen works really well as a way of interacting with your city, and coupled with pretty smooth graphics and a faithful port of the game's central features to the DS, this is a hot title.

In Nintendo Life's full review Thomas Bowskill gives the game an impressive 8/10, noting that:
"Sim City is a well polished and enjoyable city simulation game for the DS; EA really haven't left much room for improvement. From start to the impossible to reach finish, the whole system is ridiculously addictive and well executed. For those who like planning and statistics, this is an essential buy; there are countless hours of enjoyment to be sought through this title. For those who like fast paced action and flashy visuals, there is nothing here for you. So the bottom line? If you like simulation games, get Sim City... now!"
Which says it all - I for one fit squarely into the former category!
