4 Stars Just like on the computer
I haven’t played Sim City in years, but this version on the Wii is not that different. The menus are the same. Zooming in and out on the large tv makes for some interesting scenes. The flights over the city are kind of lame. It also takes a while to get use to using the wii remote to scroll through the city – less control than with a mouse. Still hours of fun watching your city grow and then destroying it.

5 Stars Fun, open-ended game!
I’m enjoying this game so far, because of its open-endedness. You can create unique cities, and lay them out in an almost infinite way.

The reviewer who slammed the controls clearly failed to actually spend time LEARNING them; I mean, do you want every game to spoon-feed you oversimplification? Please.

Anyway, if you enjoy creative and strategic games, with longevity, I recommend this game. Go through the tutorials and you should have no problems designing, maintaining (and destroying!) your cities…

2 Stars A big let down!
We were so excited about this game. The controls are difficult to figure out. Lack of instructions, even with the tutorial. It is also hard to complete the missions. Save your money and download the VC SNES Sim City, or wait for MySims Kingdom.

4 Stars A lot of fun
This game is a little hard to learn at the beginning but after you learn all the controls it is so much fun! It took me probably about 2 – 3 hours over about 5 days just playing here and there to master the controls. It will be easier for anyone who has played a lot of the Sim games but it had been a few years for me.

The thing that really makes the game for me is the area assistants who will build for you while you can focus on other things and on details of the budget. They are an invaluable resource that really make the game more fun.

This is a very fun game once you get into it!.

Nintendo Wii Component AV Cables

It would be a shame to own a Wii and a high definition capable television and not own these cables. Better graphics, better quality, and better sound, these will make any gaming experience more enjoyable! See and experience the Wii with the best quality possible on your HDTV.

1 Star Disappointed
My complaints have nothing to do with the quality of this cable but with the “component” image you receive when turning on progressive scan on the Wii. In my opinion while the image may be a little sharper on my 42 inch 720p capable display it actually looks worse than interlace because of the pixilation you can now see.

5 Stars A Must for large TV’s
For the Nintendo Wii, let’s face it. 480i is not bad, but when the TV’s get larger in size, you can start to detect the fuzziness of the picture. Getting the component cable bumps it up to 480p, effectively doubling the resolution in one dimension (though I don’t remember which one). While not necessary for Wii Sports, though it does make a difference there, it is pretty sweet upgrade for games such as Zelda (which is about all I can speak for as of now). Obviously, while I recommend this for larger TV’s to remove the grain, on smaller TV’s this just makes the picture quality seem crisp and clear.

4 Stars Wii Component Cable review
This component cable works perfectly. The only issue that some users might run into is this: the audio cables are not separated from the video cables–keep this in mind before you buy this brand. Make sure on your HDTV / EDTV that the blue, green and red video cinputs are closeby your red and white audio inputs. I haven’t run into this issue, but others might. Great off-brand product.

5 Stars Great buy for the Wii
I bought these because they are far cheaper then most on the market and the quality of the cables is good. With most component cables all 5 cables are split at the same place so you may need audio extensions to reach to your receiver. You can find the cable and female2female connectors you need on amazon for a cheap price.

These cables to supply a 480p image and the complaints about pixelation are just by those who don’t understand SD and HD resolution and how games are made. These cables work great and the price is a bargain. A good buy.

2 Stars Mine broke!
I got these thinking they were a good deal, despite the reservations I hold about buying third-party hardware. For a while, they worked great and I was happy, but a few months after my purchase, the sound cables and the blue input stopped working correctly, resulting in a reddish-green image and a lot of high-pitched beeping whenever I turned on my system. If you want decent HD cables for your Wii, spring the extra 20 for the ones Nintendo makes (they’ve been working great for me).
