First City Life screens are erected

The DS's feature-set seems ideal for a city-building sim, yet we're still waiting for a truly shining example of the genre to emerge on the handheld, a game that can suck up afternoons, Advance Wars stylee.

PC-to-DS build-'em-up City Life will be looking to fill that gap when it releases later this year, and comes with 150 different types of building, a hefty Campaign mode, and six distinct social groups that -- typical! -- you have to keep happy. No news just yet on whether it will let us build cities from Nintendo consoles, but consider our fingers and toes crossed.

Hit the gallery below for the first seven screens.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm a Sim City fan from the first one. SimCity DS, which I got not long after it came out last year, is OK but it wasn't what I'd hoped for, that's for sure. It got quite tedious and I've not touched it in some time.

Now back to Prof. Layton!
