SimCity Creator follows the basic SimCity formula that sees players managing a city and placing residential, commercial, and industrial zones for buildings in addition to facilities such as police stations, hospitals, seaports, and stadiums. Players are also able to customize the look of their buildings by choosing from several themes for the city such as Egyptian, Roman, Japanese, European, Las Vegas, and near-future styles, in addition to ones that result in a crystal or confectionery-like appearance to buildings. Players are also able to tour their city, rendered in 3D graphics, in a helicopter or airplane. If the player builds an airport, more touring vehicles can be unlocked.

SimCity Creator for the Wii attempts to bring the iconic city-building franchise to a motion-controlled console, but struggles in its execution. While the concept of building a unique metropolis with distinct architectural styles is appealing, the Wii controls feel imprecise and the overall experience lacks the depth avid SimCity fans crave. There's a glimmer of potential here, but SimCity Creator ultimately feels like a simplified and somewhat frustrating take on the beloved series.
