  1. City Life is a quality simulator that can easily absorb hours upon hours of your time if you let it. If you're a fan of city-building sims, there's no excuse for letting this one pass you by.

    The inclusion of simple stats and the clever use of newsreel clips to highlight problems make this a superior sim. [Mar 2008, p.84]

    No great shakes, but an awful lot better than "SimCity Societies." [Mar 2008, p.87]

This game used to be the game i Played as a small, and i rather play this than Simcity, and simcity societies.. It is very fun atuly.. For my old Windows XP it can manage to build a city up too 1 Million without lagg.. Well, this is the 2008 edition.. It wasen't that bad.. but, it is worth the money now.. and i felt amazed when i played this game back in the time.. I recommend this game to everyone! i give it a 9/10, theres some bugs, like the Bus going to taxi and taxi going to bus.. And some stuff i don't get.. But else this is totaly fine.. If you would like more maps and building buy the 2008 Edition.. I don't like how the critics rated this low.. When this game is actuly very fun and good! Full Review »
