    While previous owners of SimCity be upset at repurchasing this title, SimCity Deluxe is how things should have been and is an excellent adaption of the series for the App Store.

    SimCity Deluxe is finally the SimCity game that people were waiting for on the iPhone. If you like SimCity, you really should pick this one up.

    In many ways it's even better than playing it on the PC. Highly recommended.

    If you're looking for a way to kill some time, or perhaps a way to inflate your ego a little by becoming the megalomaniacal mayor of a fake town, then this is a good way to do so, performance problems and all.

    If you can adapt to the cryptic icons and small view of your city, SimCity Deluxe will make you feel like the mayor you always knew you could be.

You have to push so many tiny buttons and more often I end up pushing a button I did not want that ends up destroying a buildings or building something I never wanted.… Full Review »
