If you used to enjoy the original Sim City and perhaps still do then there is a bit of good news for you.

Layout and graphics are very reminiscent of the original Sim City game.
A trend is happening. This trend is about exclusive content for some phones. We’ve seen it with the EVO launch and the new Need For Speed game which, as far as I know, never actually got released.

I miss the days of school where we made paper airplanes and threw them in class while waiting for it to start. It would have been nice to just have this game instead and would have avoided some of the trouble I got into when I was at school.
