SimCity Creator Critic Reviews

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.

Probably the most accessible SimCity to date; certainly not dumbed down. Great stuff.

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.

A few potholes aside, this SimCity is the best version yet, offering some bold additions to the classic gameplay.

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.

It's somewhat flawed, but SimCity Creator still has the core elements that make the SimCity franchise a joy. For those of you who have watched your speck of a city swell into a metropolis know what I'm talking about. And those of you who haven't, well, now would be a good time to start!

I would enjoy SimCity any time, and veterans of this series will love SimCity Creator immensely, while newcomers will enjoy it even as they learn to play this unique city-building simulation. One caveat; I wouldn’t recommend this game if you do not have the time to invest.

There are some issues with the controls, much of the gesture gameplay is gratuitous, and the game offers all the perplexity of a chemistry set. But folks looking to role play as mayor might consider SimCity Creator as a rental.

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

If you have a PC(or Mac), you're better off tracking down the aforementioned "SimCity 4" for a few bucks.

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.

SimCity Creator joyfully bounces between the series reliable basics and an imperfect production. It's a good game hampered by seriously flawed controls.

This would have been a perfectly respectable SimCity game if the controls had been given more attention.

Unfortunately, due to the shortcomings and bad translations, it's just not as good as it could have been.

Some games run into problems trying to be everything to everyone, but SimCity Creator suffers from the opposite affliction. It doesn’t try to be anything to anyone. Well, that’s one thing it does right.

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