You can see it in action with this SimCity gameplay video which demonstrates not only the gameplay but also the highly detailed city graphics.

Also, these are some SimCity screenshots, presumably running on a PC. We’re not sure if these are actually real screenshots or enhanced images…

Eager gamers and wannabe city managers will be able to try the game ahead of time in the very limited SimCity Beta. From the video, we can see the city is very detailed. After the beta period, I’m sure we’ll be able to find some confirmed screenshots running on real hardware. SimCity is the 5th game in the series and is being published by EA.
