Generally I am not more than a very casual video game player and I have never played a video game on a game console such as XBox or Playstation Recently a friend though got me interested
in a game available on Android called Sim City Buildit. This is one of the family of games that was
created by Maxis that started with Sim City in 1989 and was developed by designer Will Wright who
was inspired by his interest in Civic design to create a game in which a city could be realistically built and designed. Sim City buildit is a simplified version of Sim City that was created for both
Android and I phones. While the mobile version of the game is a simpler version of the game it still
allows you build a city, provide services, education, encounter disasters and trade sell and manufacture items as in Sim City. 

      This game is unique in that there are no winners or losers just your own enjoyment in how
your city progresses over time.The graphics are well done and involving and you can easily be
drawn into playing the game for hours on end. A nice tough in the game is the fact that you
can develop your city to your tastes. Environmentally friendly? Then only create wind and solar
power for your Sims. This game is easy to learn, fun to play and allows you a unique experience.

      The design for the game by Electronic Arts the company that now owns the Sims franchise is well done but not particularly ground breaking or original. It basically transfers the Sim City Pc game
to a mobile platform. While the game is not terribly original or groundbreaking it is enjoyable and
can be enjoyed for a few minutes at a time when you have a chance to play a feature I truly enjoyed.
The final plus is the game is a free download.
