Sim City DS review at Gamespy.

"One of the ten titles included in the canon of the videogame masterpieces that need to be preserved was none other than SimCity, voted at GDC 2007 by a group of industry veterans and academics as an outstanding example of game design. Undoubtedly one of the most-played PC franchises across its many incarnations, SimCity delivers a complex game experience that requires careful planning, organizational skills and even risk-taking. Building a city has never sounded so fun and challenging, and after a few hours spent dealing with pollution and public transportation, players will probably look at the city they live in with a new sense of respect. This applies to every installment in the series, including the new portable version that the Japan-based studio syn Sophia developed for the Nintendo DS. Too bad that this is the only positive aspect of SimCity DS, a title otherwise afflicted by poorly balanced controls and aesthetic design that's among the ugliest on the DS."
