This is a great conversion of a PC legend, specifically SimCity 3000. You might expect it to be drastically cut down, but it's not. Yes, there are bits missing, but to be honest they're the bits that you're not going to be bothered about not being there - the essentials of the game are there and they're great fun.Basically, you're given a brand spanking new bit of land with a sum of cash (how much you get depends on which bit of land you choose) and you're left pretty much to it. There's no levels or goals - you decide how to build your city. Of course, there's good and bad was and there are advisors who'll try and guide you in the right direction. But, ultimately,you're left to it and it's all the better for it.The DS version adds a "Save the City" mode, where you rescue a city after a disaster, makes the landmarks unlockable extras, rather than the freebies they were in the PC version of SC3000 and adds a tutorial mode.Gripes? As someone else has said, you can only have one city saved at anyone time. More importantly, I found the controls not so great: the theory's fine, using the touchscreen to drag out roads, zones etc., but all too often the cursor would go shooting off halfway across the map and, if you weren't careful, you'd have a massive road where you didn't want it. And the zoomed-out construction view is hopelessly imprecise, meaning again you can build things where you really don't want them.That aside, this is a fine conversion of the PC game and much better than you make expect.

Having been a fan of Sim City since the very first version on the PC, I was keen to give this a try. Overall they have done a great job in squeezing this game onto the DS.For those of you who have never played Sim City before, you take on the roll of Mayor in a newly founded city. You have to build roads, zone for industrial commercial and residential areas as well as building civic buildings such as schools and hospitals. The skill is to balance your spending with the income raised through taxes.All the usual features are here, with the exception of water pipes. You still need to have an enough water to supply the city, but no longer have to lay the pipes. There are two levels of zoom,so you can either look down over your city as a whole, or take a closer look at a particular area.There is also a "save the city" mode, where an existing city has to be rebuilt after a disaster. You have a set amount of time and money to reach the victory conditions. A tutorial section is available so new players can get the hang of how each building works and how to use the control interface.The touch screen works very well and it is actually easier to use than the PC version. My single gripe (and the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars) is that there is only a single save slot. Overall - Great Game

The game being played on the DS is awesome but it has the usual problems when taking a PC game and putting it onto the DS console. The controls take a while to get used to, it can run very slow at times and the saving and loading takes for ever.The intricacies of the game such a s finding out how many donuts the police station gets through is missing and the scenery is flat, it is either water or land. However the real essence of the game is there. The game has only one view point, two levels of zoom and two speeds. This does mean that waiting to build up finds you really have to wait, and things like airports and advanced power plants can take hours or day of playing time to get.But over all the game is really good,as addictive as the original and the bonus of being able to put a city in your pocket. As a newbie to Sim City you will think its great, as an experienced player you will be disappointed by the bits missing but is still really worth getting.

Arrived on time, in good condition. Simcity is a gaming classic ..... and here it is on DS.As Xmas is rapidly approaching, I've been buying a lot of preowned DS games as 'stocking fillers'. (And, I'll admit, a couple - like Europe, Squad Command, Rome & Worms - for myself to play too). Almost all the youngsters have a DS/2DS/3DS so these games make excellent small presents. BUT a couple of things to remember ......... 1. Make sure the description says the full game/instructions/case are included are loads that say 'cartridge only'. 2. Buy spare cases, because a lot will arrive in shabby cases, or more likely will be rammed through your front door slot,breaking the case in the process and those broken cases can have sharp plastic shards). 3. Order in good time as most are sent via standard RMail.

I never played this game previously on any other console, I merely got it because I'm tired of watching the other half play the playstation, and I'd played most my games to death. I love designing and house building, so i have always played the Sims. This game was a bit tongue biting at first, it didn't quite explain things fully on the game, but if you read the manual through it makes much more sense. I found it a bit repetitive, hence the 4 stars not 5, and you ended up waiting around for something to happen. After about 3 goes I managed to get it right, getting power and water etc. and figuring it all out, not to say there aren't challenges when you're doing well!

We bought this as part of a deal. My husband first played with it and couldn't get the hang of it. Then my six year old daughter started playing with it and she cracked it! Now my husband and daughter constantly fight as he builds HUGE cities and she knocks them down (she still hasn't grasped the save function). This game keeps them amused for hours.

Once you pick this game up playing it is a serious compulsion! Be warned your real life may suffer! Luckily I was saved as my eight year old stole mine! He is now blissfully quiet
