4 Stars Fun
This is very fun. My son play’s it all the time. The control are a bit hard but it get’s fun making Gaint Metro Area then destroying it with hammers,robots,meteors,drills and more!!

5 Stars My 10-year-old son prefers this wii game to five others he got for X-mas
I’m surprised and delighted actually to see my son creating cities and taking such thought and care for them (of course he also built cities just to destroy them in horrific ways usually involving metors and monsters). He’s new to the Wii this Christmas and while he has and likes Mario Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Raving Rabbids 1 and 2, and Wii Sports he plays with this far longer and more often, at least for now. This game can be a simple create and destroy type or a highly involved creative and yet curiously relaxing learning experience disguised as fun. It’s certainly for adults too as I can attest.

5 Stars Lots of fun
My wife and I bought a Wii for our son for Christmas 2007. I have been looking for a few games that adults could enjoy, so I thought I would give this a try.

I have played the original SimCity and SimCity 2000 in the past, so I did have an idea of what to expect. This game follows in the tradition of those older games with a few adjustments and additional options. So far I have had a lot of fun with it.

1 Stars Not like Sim City 4
I hate this game. I was so excited when it came out because I love Sim City 4 on the computer but this is nothing like it at all. I tried the tutorials and tried many times to get into it but couldn’t. I much prefer Sim City 4 for the computer.

1 Stars I would give this no stars, if that was possible!
HORRIBLE. After playing several sim games over the last few years, I got hooked on the sim city for the iphone game. When I found this for the Wii I thought it would be fun to play on the big screen and ran out to get it. Bad move. The Wii control makes this game frustrating, at best, nauseating at worst and there is no way to “freeze” the map of the city. Every little move of the hand causes the map to careen out of view. Wish I had just bought the PC version.

The Technology of the Sony Playstation Eye

Just recently, at this year's E3 conference, Sony showed off what they call the Sony Playstation Eye. Sensing deja vu? You could be thinking of Sony's EyeToy, a feature used on the Playstation 2 that pioneered the identification of the real time actions of the player. The Eye builds upon this notion in some fantastic functions, but they are not wholly new ones. That being said, it is very hard to tell just to what extent this feature will really affect the world of gaming, if indeed it can.
