    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. Still, if you're new to the... Read more

    Overall, the game is largely hit or miss. You're either going to appreciate the city building and wide range of choices to create your utopia, or be turned off by it's uninformative tutorial and trial and error tactics. While World Edition is a decent city simulation title, it has little replay value -- unless you want to make buildings yourself. The game also doesn't really have the appeal of 'buy me' if you already own City Life . If you don't own City Life and you're... Read more

    property. The goal is to balance massive cities among their population, their social diversification, infrastructure, budget and much, much more. Read more

    City-builders usually have one inspiration to look towards: Will Wright's original SimCity . Most of these games don't fall very far from the formula that Maxis' Sim-series presents, but City Life , released last May, aimed to change things up a bit by focusing on social order over financial records. For the most part, City Life did a good job of differentiating itself and gained a good-sized following. Now, about half-a-year later, City Life: World Edition looks to... Read more

  1. Very good simulation, great graphics

    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
