    To enjoy the game, the secret is NOT paying money. When following this advice, the game becomes a fun game of trading and revenue from building, demolishing, and time management. With money, the game becomes one of instant gratification and only visuals - which takes all the strategy out of it. I recommend saving up for those large items like you would in a non paid game.

    Having previously played Sim City on PC, I have to say I am enjoying this version. It's rather addictive and even though there are In-App purchases which I can't stand within mobile games, they aren't too in your face and you can progress the game easily enough without them. Good fun, nice graphics.

    This is the first Simcity game that I have ever played and I gotta say it is quite fun.
    The it's nice to be able to create the city you want, although there aren't a lot of customization for the individual buildings, it's not bad for a mobile device that is free.

    Only downside is editing my city. If I wanted to recreate my city or slide a couple of house down one block to make more space, it is a pain since you have to do it individually.
    But overall definitely fun to play for the cost of $0.    … Expand

    SimCity Buildit es un gran juego de celular y la verdad no entiendo las malas críticas, es super divertido con varias horas de jugabilidad.

    Simcity BuildIt is not a game with some timers, it's a huge timer with some bits of a game in between.

    This is the first "real" mobile SimCity and it's a nice game, but it's more Clash of Clans than classic Sim City and the free to play model doesn't work very well.

    Sim City Build It is a strange mishmash of free-to-play trappings, resource management, and other oddities that don't necessarily make sense within the context of the game as a franchise or even as a stand-alone app. Pass on it and choose something much meatier to spend your time with.
