Machi-ing Maker Japan

Natsume puts a characteristically quirky spin on classic building and social sims in Metropolismania. This PS2 game charges players with tasks familiar in two of the most important development simulations on the PC, SimCity and The Sims. Not only must the player design the layout of a new city, but also encourage a blossoming social life for its citizens. Instead of directing from the perspective of an ethereal, godlike overseer, however, Metropolismania players must build their worlds by hand, in person.
