Good Simcity game on DS but with few problems

Few problems this game has are:

Constant visits by town folks
-They keep coming and never stop
-You'll end up bankrupt if you said yes to every one of them
-Some of the requests doesn't make any sense for your city
-This can't be turned off
-It can't be ignored either because of occasional Prof Simtown visits

-Renewing garbage contract EVERY 5 years

Game manual and in-game tutorial are inadequate for new Simcity players. For example new players won't know how far away to build next hospitals and schools from previous ones. What's their coverage area? Even I'm not sure with this game as Simcity veteran. Manual fails to explain things like game option called "Action Events". Games like this need a thick manual but EA foolishly decided to use the 2nd half of it for French.

If you can forgive this problems you'll have fun playing this game. Rating of 4 for past Simcity players but 3 for new players.

Fast delivery. The game itself is really great. The graphics are so much more bubbly and fun then the old sim cities.

I didn't think the game was much fun at all. In fact, I tried to return it the next day and ended up having to take a cheap trade-in on it because I wanted to get rid of it so badly. The back of the case made it sound exciting ("save your city from fire!" turned out to mean, "rebuild the city afterwards" etc) and i was really disappointed. I also had a lot of trouble figuring out how to do anything. I guess i was expecting it to be more like other games I'd played in the past, such as Sim Hospital and Sim Theme Park.

SimTown not SimCity

Well maybe not quite, this mini version plays like the SimCities of old but gets very annoying when people keep "barging into the mayor's office" to complain about this and that. Its almost every 10 minutes. Else this game plays like the full scale version (with a few bizzare and pointless mini-games)

Themepark is better!

I played Themepark before, and I love it very much. So, kind of disappointed about this game. Anyway, this is the game that I play while on bed, very relaxing.
