EA announces SimCity Creator, world trembles

EA have announced SimCity Creator, the latest in a long and blurry line of Sim games, on the Wii and the DS. You can build cities, destroy cities, build different cities, destroy them, try a bit harder on keeping a city going, then forget about it. You know, the usual Sim game kind of things.

Apparently Creator will be "The most accessible and light-hearted game from the SimCity franchise", which is good, I suppose. Unless you like your SimcCities HARDCORE, in which case boo yah sucks, go get a model train.

The press release also contains some rather obscure references to "hero" buildings, in various architectural styles. Quite what these "hero" buildings do, I have no idea, but I'm going to guess that they turn into giant robots and fight to the death with building robots from other rival cities. But don't quote me on that.

SimCity Creator is released on DS and Wii on the 19th of September in Europe and the 22nd in the US.
