    Due to its slow pace, Venture Towns is far from Kairosoft's strongest effort, but neither is it the company's worst. It's still very possible to lose several hours watching your tiny pixel empire. Still, I hope Kairosoft has some fresh ideas on deck for 2012.

    For the price, you'll be getting a very competent city-building simulator. There are hours of gameplay and a number of different maps to choose from for building multiple cities, so the value is unquestionable.

    It's bland, SimCity type of stuff with Kairosoft's characteristic wrapper.

After about an hour of playing, you realise you are nearly broke, have no way of affording to pay for making new vacant lots for residents, and it is plain boring once you've done everything.

Your in for lot of fun and customization as youVenture Towns is Kairosoft's best attempt at city simulation and can rival big time Sim city. Your in for lot of fun and customization as you watch your small town, reach full capacity and beyond. The ability to hold the Olympic Games is a hard final challenged, alone with theme parks, job opportunities and combinations. Full Review »
