Here are just some videos with cities from developers. I found the content too flashy and it didn’t make too much sense for me, but I must admit that soundtrack is amazing ;) I hope you guys find this interesting! Enjoy Casino City & Disaster CIty.

Sim City: A Game to Kill For – From NotFakeTrailers

“From director Frank Miller and video-game visionary Will Wright- “Sim City: A Game to Kill For.”

In the the dark and miserable town of Sim City, politics and popularity polls mean everything. So when a down-and-out Marv gets caught up in the Mayor’s violent corruption of power plants, power lines and prostitution there’s only one thing he won’t do. Play Along.

SimCity Soundtrack Now Available On Spotify and iTunes

Nothing sets the tone of a SimCity game faster than the music. Whether it’s the clever sounds of a farty MIDI track from SimCity 2000 or the string sections of this newest game, hearing the lightweight plucking and sheer optimism of their score is an uplifting experience. Available now in most places you can legally acquire music (and probably many places you can’t), you can relive the urban planning experience wherever you are.

Some of the latest SimCity beta gameplay

I was just wandering around YouTube to see whats new since the 2nd BETA came out and here is what I’ve found so far.

The terrain you start building with looks like an actual terrain. Not like the old blocks you had to deal with. You almost don’t want to modify it, it’s just too beautiful to mess with.

Single and Multiplayer is available with this new release. SimCity has true Multi-scale cities, city specialization and endless possibilities.

If you pre-order now, you will get additional add-ons. Like the very interesting Hereos & Villians add-on. There is also different countries add-ons. Visit SimCity.com for more info.

SimCity will be available March 5th 2013. I think this game will be a mega hit and a must have for any SimCity fan.

And here are some gameplay tips and commentaries from HypnotoadProductions :
