Simcity coming to iPhone next month

EA has announced that alongside Need for Speed Undercover and Monopoly, they are also bringing Simcity to the iPhone.



For those not keeping up with Sim happenings, Simcity is a city building simulator that puts you in the position of a mayor charged with creating new cities from scratch, managing taxes, traffic, happiness, energy - all kinds of things - and in the event you need to spice up your life a little, a large selection of catastrophes are at your fingertips (EA uses tornadoes, earthquakes, and giant monsters as examples).



It's a pleasant surprise to see such a well established franchise coming to the iPhone, and EA looks to be making this version of SimCity a must-buy purchase with specialised iPhone controls (pinch zooming, for instance) and extra landmarks.



Expect Simcity for iPhone to be released next month.

    Sweet, I like Simcity, should be a good candidate for transition to the iPhone.

    That will be very cool. I'd like to see a version of The Sims also.

    Yeah, I think that they should just make a whole line of sims stuff, like they have for the computer

    This forum is supposed to be to discuss SimCity on the iPhone, so that is what I want to talk about. The screenshot for that game looks pretty sweet; I'd like to know where they got it and if there are any more screenshots out there. It looks a lot like the SimCity 3000 version. I've also heard that they will come out with an iPhone version of Sims 3; I wonder what that will be like. I'm looking forward to the new EA games for the iPhone. I wish they'd make Madden for the iPhone as well.

    Sim City came out when I was in college. We played it for hours on end (sometimes to the detriment of our studies!). Am really looking forward to seeing it come to the iPhone.



    Wouldn't mind seeing SimEarth, either.

    I realize tensions are high because of the coming election, but political comments & discussions belong in Political Outsider.
