Several months passed from the output of SimCity DS in Japan, and all this time we tried to understand - whether the game is worthy of existence. Perhaps this is a real hit? Looking ahead, we say: so far hit far, but their portion of pleasure it can deliver.

What is SimCity DS? EA Japan did not reinvent the wheel, as it makes the Tilted Mill Entertainment (on whose shoulders lay the development of SimCity Societies), and made ​​a classic game in the spirit of what we once regaled herself Maxis (and apparently the game is more reminiscent of SimCity 3000).

Think you can dismiss this annoying lady? Certainly not! Contacted one of the five advisers - work with him to the end or start playing again. Try to use the Save button as seldom as possible: to save the game is only one slot and only one profile - amazing greed!
But all is not as easy as it seems at first sight. To build a large city can take at least several hours.

But even if you successfully deal with the management and responsibilities of the mayor, will not be boring: the developers have done everything to make your life a virtual honey did not seem. Judge: earthquakes, fires, attacks the giant ape and attack UFOs - there probably a lot. During some of these events even have to use the features of Nintendo DS: fires can blow out personally, and aliens to shoot down missiles with a stylus.

And not in the coup.Those familiar with previous games, the series, although the heat will be a novelty, they are hardly hold her a lot of time - the lack of significant change and not particularly convenient control to quickly be forced to send the cartridge on the shelf.
