| _______________ | 19 |  | TouchMyApps ? SimCity Deluxe in review (iPhone) | | If everything you dreamed of as a kid has always been to look out of your office window and a city of your own grow and prosper, SimCity Deluxe is a must have game. It's amazingly full-featured, both in content and in graphics. There's nothing like watching aliens decimate buildings you worked so hard on at full zoom-in. At the same time the game is a bit restrictive on hardware and if you're on an iPhone 3G or similar prepare for random crashes and slowdowns. Casual gamers may also be a bit cautious because SimCity Deluxe is one of the more complex sim games out there and even with the tutorial, much will have to be discovered on your own. But anyone willing to put in the little bit of effort required to master the mechanics will quickly find themselves spending days and nights with their iDevice in hand and building the perfect city.

| _______________ | 20 | | SimCity Deluxe running on the iPad (screens) | | SimCity Deluxe is a beautiful game sporting the graphics from SimCity 4, but I wished they could of supported the full screen of the iPad.* It’s depressing to see these screens.* Kudos to Jake from the *iPad Forums* (http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-apps/8055-simcity-deluxe-ipad-screen-capture.html) for providing these.* Be sure to click the actual image for a proper display (as it’s resized in this post)

| _______________ | 23 | | TouchGen ? SimCity Deluxe (iPhone) reviewed | | A portion of a review from *TouchGen*:
All in all the game will probably satisfy the all-time Sim City fans out there; but if you are a new comer, like me, I would suggest you start learning how to play it somewhere else, or you get a friend to explain it to you, because $6.99 might be a lot to waste on something you might never get the hang off.

| _______________ | 24 | | Touch Reviews ? SimCity Deluxe reviewed for iPhone | | One of the first things you'll notice about SimCity*Deluxe,*are fast loading times and a very smooth gameplay experience. When you switch from one game screen to the other you won't have to wait for long loading screens which enables you to concentrate and return to the main gameplay area quickly and it also feels more 'connected'.*The controls are placed perfectly allowing you to*access any tool or option with ease*and do not in any way obstruct the gameplay. Another major improvement you'll notice is that when you pinch to zoom the game elements are not lost and only the animation is paused making it appear as static image which is a great move when compared to the poor*implementation*in the previous version.

| _______________ | 26 | | EAmobile releases SimCity Deluxe on the iTunes Store ? $6.99 | | Just discovered from the forums of *TouchArcade* (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=62425) that EA Mobile has released SimCity Deluxe on the App Store for the price of $6.99.* Sounds great…as much as I want to get it I have to be real careful on how I spend my money so I’m going to wait for a price drop.* Expect a ton of reviews and videos to pour out today and for the rest of the week.

The title is deceptive, because it's more of a sequel than merely a respray with a fresh lick of paint.
That's not to say the graphics haven't been updated. Zooming into buildings no longer ends up with blurry, nondescript shapes, but crisp images of your mighty tower blocks and factories.
This view can be rotated 360 degrees in four steps, allowing a full view of the new seasonal effects like snowflakes on the camera in the process, with the game reacting quickly on the 3GS even with a fully built city on screen.
In fact, the whole game feels far quicker than before, with scrolling no longer jerking about and losing the buildings, and menus popping up quickly with barely any downtime.
This refinement is carried over to the controls themselves, with the building system receiving improvements to its accuracy and the advisors less awkward to reach, which should relieve a lot of players from the previous game.
