SimCity Creator is a revamped continuation of the SimCity universe with the same objective, to build the best city or destroy it as the player sees fit.

The gameplay is similar to all its previous versions, by placing buildings and roads with a variety of different themes ranging from New York Metropolitan buildings, to Asian themed buildings, European-style and even a futuristic-type. Players can also destroy their city with a variety of disasters like meteors, fires, floods, earthquakes and monsters.

However, what makes this version different from its counterparts is the interface and the way the player can build their city through the Wii Remote. Players use the remote to draw roads, making them as straight or as curvy as they want and even make the shape of a neighborhood as they see fit. Additionally, the player can use the remote to destroy their creation such as using the remote by spinning it vertically to create a whirlwind or slam down like a hammer on a particular building to annihilate it.

Assistants can also be hired to help them run the city as well as help with the construction of the city and players can even take a view of their city by means of airplane or helicopter to view their master creation.
