Be the mayor and build your own city. This is a simple and good game for children.

SimCity Creator is just like the other games in this series. You build a town, supply it with electricity and water, and make sure there´s a balance between buildings, shops and industrial areas. It´s important that the citizens are happy. Sometimes fires happen, and robberies take place, but this can be helped if you place enough firemen and police stations around the town. SimCity is an easy game. You can do as you please – build, destroy, and rebuild. The game has a lot of assignments that get harder and harder as you go along. As well as this you will find many training assignments at the beginning, and in these you get thorough training in how best to do a new assignment, and the game gets much easier when you know how everything works. Remember to turn down the sensitivity on the control before you start to play. This makes road building and area placement little easier.

Child suitability:
SimCity Creator is good entertainment, but a little too complicated for the very youngest. You get good information on how things work, the menus are easy and the controls work like a mouse on a PC, which makes it easy to move around in the town and to place new houses and shops. This is a good game for children over seven years.
