Sim City DS is "uber" cool
Written by Awkward Situations on Thursday, August 02, 2007:: SIM CITY DS :: REVIEW ::
This game is really fun guys. It's for the "Big" fan of the Sim City franchise like myself and the "Wtf is Sim City?!" type's too. It's easy to pick up and play, has a variety of diasters you have to manage, fun events like dropping presents off from Santa, or tranqualizing a large monkey when you have alot of pollution in your city. (Which unfortunately seems to be the only way to draw in more people, factories and such).
The other thing I wish they could of changed is you can only build one city at a time. No you can't build one and link it to another your working on like in Sim City 4 or other previous Sim City titles. I wish that could of been changed but I'm guessing it was to make it so the DS could handle it. And even still it lags, which is very strange for the DS. The detail ammount causes slowdowns in the gameplay, and a loading screen. Something you would of expected in the PSP.

But past all that Sim City DS is a fun game that has alot of potential for future titles. It's fun, challenging, and just a breath of fresh air from the normal ds titles. And until Sim City Societies comes out later this year it's a good way to relax and enjoy that classic gameplay until then. And classic is true in the game as well, which plays more like Sim City 3000. Which was a great game, indeed.
