SimCity Creator
SCORE: 81
I love to play games that encourage creating over ones that encourage destroying. SimCity Creator is a bit of a dual edged sword on this since it allows the player to institute disasters. These range from natural disasters to giant mutant creatures that attack your city. For most of this review I will be dealing with the creationism aspects of this Wii game.
The graphics in SimCity Creator are okay. I was not impressed with much of it, and it did not let me zoom in to get a good look at anything. I am guessing this has to do with the limitations of the Wii. I could generally tell what was what as I was building and zoning areas. The violence comes from the disasters.
The music in SimCity Creator is so mellow and relaxing. It encourages creative thoughts - at least in my mind. SimCity Creator pauses itself as I performed construction so there was no rush. If I got impatient SimCity Creator has a fast forward and a double fast forward which speeds things up.
SimCity Creator on the Wii includes a variety of missions for the player to perform. There is also a sandbox mode so you can take an area of the map and build to your hearts content. I have played SimCity games on the PC and they generally include more content. What the Wii version does have will keep gamers busy for a few weeks at the very least.
I feel like I got my moneys worth out of SimCity Creator. I did pick up a used copy pretty cheap, but still. If you have ever wanted to design a city then SimCity Creator is the game for you. I loved exploring this game that encourages creation. The coolest thing about SimCity Creator is different family members can approach the game from different perspectives. Maybe you like order, maybe you like curves, maybe you like art, etc.
I am very blessed to have enough money
to purchase a game like SimCity Creator. I encourage our readers to
support this Wii home console video game that also works on the Wii U.
