Looks alright I suppose. I was expecting it to look better to be honest...maybe I was just thinking too much.

TBH I reckon this should've been aimed for WiiWare, but I guess it could turn out being worth full disc price. Smilie

Looks like sim city... I mean i'm sure it's fully 3D (looks like you can zoom in and out and rotate it). Obviously low res screen shots won't do the game justice.

I'm definitely excited about this.

Too bad the pics are so small, it's hard to tell exactly how the game looks. Personally, I'm more than happy with SimCity 3000 level graphics.

I'm happy enough with SimCity 3000 itself. I don't think we'll be seeing anything new to the series in the Wii installation, and I doubt the Wii's controls for the game. It's not that the Wii isn't capable, but I believe the precision of the mouse and the resolution of a monitor make for a much better SimCity experience.

I'll probably look way better with proper screens/videos - with scans it can be pretty difficult to tell!

Yeah, I thought so, too. And be honest: I want Sim City to be a town-simulation. I even don't need Sim City 4000. I think it's exciting to do this on Wii. manage a city sitting comfortable in your seat. I will give this a serious though and that's something considering I'm against EA in general and not open for The Sims or Simulations in general.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
