What you may have noticed is that there's not a lot of extra content added to the game, and what was listed in the first few paragraphs is essentially it for the "World Edition" tag. In the end, City Life: World Edition is a great game for any city-building aficionado, but the extra content brought to the game doesn't really add up to much, and it's certainly not enough to purchase the game a second time, if you already own the original.

Fun: I did not guess this can be such a good simulation. Simulation rules make sense. Graphics is great and details are done very good. The only critics is about the performance. I had a Athlon 4800 + 2GRAM but only an on-board 256M NVidia graphics and this was a little slow. Also startup of the software took 2m (I have a SATA 256M Hard). In general if you have a good PC and a good graphics card this should be fun. I tried simcity socities before this and it was a... Read more
