There's something compelling about Sim City games, even though it's hard to capture exactly what that is in a trailer. You can see that evidenced in this video for Sim City 2 DS, which borders between dull and downright creepy. The trailer just fails to capture the magic of Sim City, making us think that the game has to be better than this video makes it look.
Or, maybe we're just being too harsh. Maybe those slow-blinking characters that talk in robot voices don't creep you out. Either way, the gameplay seems deeper in this title than in the DS's first foray into Sim City, and we'll be keeping a close eye on the game as more information comes forth. As of now, it's only planned for a Japanese release in March.
Watching Sim City isn't as fun as playing it

Music sounds good, SC3K. I just hope it doesn't have the same unintuitive and terrible interface that the first SCDS had.

Looks pretty good to me, like Covarr said, I too hope that it has a better interface. I hardly played SC DS because it felt like a chore finding what I needed.
