  • Summary: Be a powerful mayor -- create, enjoy and destroy your ultimate city. Start by zoning your city, constructing homes, businesses, factories, skyscrapers, freeways, railroads, and much more. SimCity Creator is a visually exciting experience with a completely new user interface, designedBe a powerful mayor -- create, enjoy and destroy your ultimate city. Start by zoning your city, constructing homes, businesses, factories, skyscrapers, freeways, railroads, and much more. SimCity Creator is a visually exciting experience with a completely new user interface, designed specifically for the Wii and the Wii remote. You'll discover many ways to customize your city, including 13 city styles to explore, such as American, European and Asian themes. You can also place a selection of more than 30 "Hero" buildings into your city to make it distinctive and momentous. Some of these iconic buildings are based on the current day, some on history and some on fantasy. The more city styles you explore, the more Hero building options you have. For the first time, take the liberty to build transportation systems with free placement of rounded and curved roads and rail lines, taking your city to new creative and curvy heights. And get a new perspective on your cityscape from a helicopter, a jet or a propeller plane which you can use to fly over your creation. Check out what you've built in your aircraft of choice. Disasters that players of SimCity always love remain an important and entertaining element in SimCity Creator. Using the Wii remote you can create earthquakes, tornados, call in destructive robots and monsters, create fires and discover many more ways to cause havoc. You created it, and now you can destroy it. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    A great toy to mess around with for an hour or two, with enough depth to the missions and extras to keep you coming back on a regular basis for months. [Dec 2008, p.52]

    The Wii has yet again shown that it can do certain games better than its bigger counterparts. A real pleasurable experience that will end up a Wii classic.

    We couldn't in good faith recommend this game for children or those with a predilection for mindless mini-games, but Sim gamers will probably enjoy what it has to offer.

    The problem lies in the simple fact that it simply doesn’t stack up that well next to the superior body of PC iterations.

    Poor controls and superfluous features hurt what is otherwise an enjoyable SimCity game.

    Those who have played some of the other Sim City games will hardly find here a game capable of offering a new experience. If that’s not the case, Creator is an experience that will keep their interest points, although, neither the Wii control will works like would be predictable.

    Somewhere within SimCity Creator is an ambitious idea, befuddled by a lacking control scheme and irritating features.

    Excellent Simcity game...take your city from Caveman times through various ages, gets very challenging to keep it on top. Nice little DS game.

    If you have always loved Simcity you will love this game! It will take you 20 mins to get use to the controls, but once that hurdle is past If you have always loved Simcity you will love this game! It will take you 20 mins to get use to the controls, but once that hurdle is past you can enjoy a core Simcity game with some nice extras. If you own Simicty 4 on PC, their is hardly a point to spend the $$. But if you don't, its a must buy!… Expand

    the game doesn't really have the best graphics, but it comes the opposite for music, they have catchy music in the game itself, but jeez the graphics are horrible in the game.

    the game is quite difficult too, without a guide (and not using a tutorial mode, or goals mode if that's what it's called), it's literally hard to figure out what you would have to do in the game, because growing a city in simcity creator is so much different than in the 2013 PC simcity game.

    although an engaging game, it was also a waiting simulator, which i did not enjoy, i wish you could speed it up EVEN more than just a bunch of seconds then it would go to the next day.

    and lastly, i can't with the amount of the obnoxious "An Event Occurred!" or "Level up!", it's so annoying to try to get through at the start if you're really good at building a city.    … Expand
