I didn't think the game was much fun at all. In fact, I tried to return it the next day and ended up having to take a cheap trade-in on it because I wanted to get rid of it so badly. The back of the case made it sound exciting ("save your city from fire!" turned out to mean, "rebuild the city afterwards" etc) and i was really disappointed. I also had a lot of trouble figuring out how to do anything. I guess i was expecting it to be more like other games I'd played in the past, such as Sim Hospital and Sim Theme Park.
SimTown not SimCity December 30, 2007
Well maybe not quite, this mini version plays like the SimCities of old but gets very annoying when people keep "barging into the mayor's office" to complain about this and that. Its almost every 10 minutes. Else this game plays like the full scale version (with a few bizzare and pointless mini-games)
Fun and entertaining for hours at a time! December 8, 2007

SimCity DS brings out all of the fun of the original computer game in a portable Nintendo DS format! While SimCiy DS is not a prefect game it is highly addictive and fun.
Pros-
- To completely build your city you will have to spend hours and hours playing.
- The game is pretty intuitive and easy to play from the begining
- The "Simulation" of the game is interesting from a master planning and economics stand-point. By raising taxes you will drive some of your residents out.
Cons-
- You must use the stylus for determining what and where you are going to build. At times it can be difficult controlling the stylus precisely enough to build in exactly the right spots. This becomes especially true while building roads.
- The game does get a bit repetitive at times - and it does seem silly that you need 8 hospitals for a town of 50,000 people.
- You can only save one city at a time. This turns the game into a one person at a time game... and since it may take a month to build a complete city this becomes an annoyance if someone else wants to play!
FInal Verdict - SimCity is a fun way to pass a plane, car, or train ride - I fully recommend the game without any hesitation despite some minor flaws.

Fast delivery. The game itself is really great. The graphics are so much more bubbly and fun then the old sim cities.
Old School SimCity!! August 23, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I used to play SimCity on the computer back in 7th and 8th grade at school, and I didn't think I would ever find the old school game again, what with The Sims, and all the other Sim stuff out these days, not to mention the bigger and better game consoles. But this game really reminds me of the old computer game! It is pretty fun, but I would recommend playing the tutorial thing, or else you may get highly frustrated, as happened to me! I can't quite figure out a decent balance between taxing my people low enough so they won't move out of town, but high enough to not have a deficit! I guess that is why I don't REALLY run a city! Lots of fun and entertainment for hours! Oh, and the visitors to the mayor's office can be annoying, but I just ignore their visit and send them on their way a lot of the time!
