SimCity DS (Nintendo DS, 2007)

Sim City ds is a fun game. Theres a alot of things you can do which is awesome for a handheld system. The huge downfall of this game is that with all the stuff that goes on within the game tends to slow everything down. It seems the Nintendo DS is straining to process all the information its being given. Only buy this game if you a fan of the sim city games and your patient enough to deal with the slow down issues.

I love SimCity so I thought let me buy a DS version of it. After I bought it, I fount out that I cannot have multiple save. Also it seems soo boring. People if you already played PC SimCity, don't buy the DS version. DS cannot compete with PC. It was a waste of my money.

Hi,

I always like sim games, simcity is a goldy oldy for me and I was eager to try this newer version on my DS. It took a little time to get started, but the tutorial was excellent and the controls are easy to master. I liked the 'save the city' games a lot and abandoned building my own metropolis altogether to play the challenges. I would like to see a lot more of them then the featured 5 or so, but I still enjoy every frustrating minute of them.
I hope this review helps.

Game is very close to the original version. Happy with the game. It will hepl pass teh ime on road trips.

First off, this is SimCity. Its just a more elaborate form of the original one. We all know what SimCity is, right?

O.k., for the three of you out there who don't know, SimCity is a city planning simulator and probably (barring the rising sun of the "The Sims: Why ruin your own life when you can ruin someone else's?" game) the most famous and well known game in the Sim series.

SimCity DS is basically a port of the PC game SimCity 3000, and while 3000 isn't the most recent one (SimCity 4 and SimCity Societies both came afterwards) it was the one that could best be applied to the Nintendo DS's capabilities. An it is a really good port. Some of the more complicated aspects are lost, but overall Its the SimCity we know and love.

The difficulties have been toned down a bit, which is nice because in the original Easy=Hard, Medium=Really Hard and Hard=DEATH. The only main complaint I have is the loss of the Ordinance system, Times when Isolated Trees 30 miles from your city suddenly spontaneously Combust and your adviser screams at you to build a road out there so fire trucks can get to it, and when residents barge into your office to scream at you despite the fact that you've built like 15 hospitals and there's no demand for commercial Zones.

These cons however in no way take away from the gameplay and I'm having a lot of fun. I'd rather be playing 3000 for the computer, but I feel just fine playing this.

Great game. Can't get enough. Just want to build a metropolis. DS version lets me do just that. handcuffed by handheld version...Hoshapolis waits for no man.....DS brings flavor to the handheld realm

I was really impressed by the port to the DS.

For SimCity fans out there, this iteration of the series is very similar to SimCity 3000. This game is definitely enjoyable, and some of the fun features of the DS that you use in the minigames are a lot of fun. The stylus system for zoning and constructing buildings is very natural, and I think the graphics are quite nice for a handheld.

On the whole, I would say this game is very enjoyable, and won't disappoint fans of the series.

i personally love all simcitys. they are great games. so if you like the old school simcity then this is a definite buy.

It looks good. My sister wants itso jougt it 4 her jzjsjakslsldl kdkdksksk kzkshae bzjsjsjjs hsgegdbx. Sjdidisj sjsejdn sjahakwjz sjsksk shzjs suzuwnd du heh d uhx. Udjd d. D uxns. Why am I doing this 4

I am very satisfied with the timely receipt of this item. The response time was amazing and I ordered things the same day and are still waiting for them.

Inexpensive and hours of fun... good game for one to develop skills in multitasking and development. Easy enough to learn with a good tutorial.. clasic sim city for the DS. Thanks for a quick and easy transaction.

this game works really great, has great picture. I looked for this game everywhere and found it here at a more than reasonable price!

The game is fun but takes a long time to go through tutorials and is a bit hard to move stuff around with the stylus. Works better with newer DS. Overall the game is fun, entertaining and a bit challenging. I wouldn't reccomend it for young kids.

I purchased the game for my ten year old son. He loves to play it.He can build cities and manage them.It is rated E so I don't have to worry about his exposure to inappropriate content.

On time no problems with merchandise. My son loved it. I would purchase from this seller again. Thank you for such great service.

This is a good game for road trips if you don't have the computer version handy. Graphics aren't great and so on.

Graphics are not good at all. Hard to see on such a little screen. Good for on the road, and waiting somewhere and don't have access to the real full version on a PC.

I like this game. It is a lot like the PC game simcity 4. It only allows you to save and continue one city though. To have multi-player interaction, every player must have their own game card.
