EA has given new details on its city-building game, SimCity, after announcing its existence back in August 2006.
The SimCity franchise has been around for years but the DS version looks like breathing new life into the city-building game. As well as creating and controlling you very own city, the game will take advantage of the stylus and built-in microphone controls of DS.
You'll have to blow into the microphone to put out fires in the city and sign off on mayoral proclamations with your stylus. Players can also communicate with each other using the wireless data exchange feature. There'll also be several recognisable international landmarks available to place in your city.
SimCity DS is scheduled for a worldwide launch this summer. Check out this first screen EA kindly sent along.
