These really add nothing to the gameplay, but giving the player the option of having certain parts of their cities look different than the rest is a nice addition.Īs if building the city of your dreams isn’t enough, one of the best parts of the game is destroying the city you just spent hours building. These special buildings, once placed in your city, cause the surrounding building to take on the same type of architecture as the hero building.

New to the SimCity series is something called “Hero Buildings”. There are some good tutorials for those who have never played a SimCity game before, as well as model cities to give you an idea of what to shoot for. Just about everything from the previous SimCity games are present and accounted for. Once you are done battling the controls, there is a surprisingly deep game to be had here. You start to get the hang of the controls after a couple of hours, but the frustration that comes before that is enough to turn everyone but the most hardcore off. I searched in the menus, read through the manual, but was unable to find a way to turn this off. On top of all that, if you lower your arm to give it a rest, the map jumps into whatever direction you put your arm. This doesn’t sound like much of a complaint, but for those who have played previous SimCity games, this causes a lot of frustration as you constantly have to undo your build because of it. This can be frustrating at times, as you try to build something, only to have the screen scroll, causing the map to move in, more often than not, the wrong direction, causing your building to go awry. The creators, in a move I still don’t understand, made it so that as you move closer to the edge of the screen, building something or not, the screen starts to scroll. Unfortunately, the Wiimote isn’t quite up to the task. With SimCity Creator, you lay out your roads, as well as zoning your city, building structures, etc, with the Wiimote, giving you the perfect opportunity to build curvy roads to your heart’s content. While I am all for my cities laid out in grids, making perfect little squares across the landscape, I wished to be able to just add a little curve here and there.

One of the main problems with the previous SimCity games was the inability to build free form roads. The controls in SimCity Creator try to fit the complexity of the SimCity games into your hand by using the Wiimote to build and using the D-pad to move through the menus. SimCity Creator does all these things well, but control issues and appearances by MySims characters make the overall presentation just a little above average. Do well by keeping your population happy, and watch your money grow but do badly, and watch as they revolt against you.

Start by building roads, sewer systems, buildings and everything else a city needs to operate, and then watch it all come together as your population grows and you get feedback on how well your city is built.

For those who have been living under a rock for the last 15 or so years, the SimCity games let you build the metropolis of your dreams. SimCity Creator for the Nintendo Wii is the newest iteration of the wildly popular SimCity games.
