  • Summary: City Life takes the city building genre into the 21st century with a powerful 3D engine and a variety of gameplay features. In the game, players take on the role of urban planner and real estate developer, creating a metropolitan paradise from dozens of beautifully rendered structures – inclcluding elaborately crafted villas and ultra-modern skyscrapers. City Life comprises the full city building experience, requiring players to take into account the need for municipal services, education, entertainment and a complete infrastructure system while maintaining harmony between the game's six distinct social classes. The graphics engine allows players to walk the streets of their cities, or zoom out to multiple levels for a better view of the overall action. A custom map editor will allow players to expand upon the 22 maps included with the game. [CDV Software]… Expand

    It not only makes for a perfect introduction to the genre for those curious few yet to sample a taste of Sim City, as well as providing some more meatier challenges for the experienced simmer. Combine this with the incredibly detailed, smooth and well-conceived graphics and the discrete sound and music, and you have a game that's pretty much a must have.

    It scores well in all areas, but the inclusion of StarForce will put a lot of people off. Note to Monte Cristo: Seriously, guys, don’t use StarForce on one of your products again. Ever.

    Much more than a clone of "SimCity", City Life is a deep, realistic urban planning simulation that is both challenging and entertaining.

    Falls a little short of the bar set by the likes of "SimCity 4." [July 2006, p.80]

    Great game. Very user friendly, took me only around 10 minutes to figure out without reading tutorial. I love every minute of it. This is like Tetris in a way - addicting, "Just five more minutes, mom!"… Expand

    StarForce, the newest way to protect game software from pirates, and it is pretty good at what it does. Most games that use 'StarForce�39; don't seem to have working nocd patches, (or rather, working ones) it is obvious that those who hate StarForce are pirates, plain and simple.

    I would also like to state that I hated SimCity 2000. The game was too easy with no clear distinction of what to do. So I build a city, leveled taxes, what now? (promptly shoots down helicopter). If this game merly mirrors gameplay from 2000 I will hate it till the end.    … Expand

    cool game. makes fun and you can waste a lot of time palying it XD.
    having more traffic options would be great and a better fire control would     avoid losing your whole city in flames.… Expand

    I couldnt be more dissapointed with this game, it held my attention for a mere half a hour, not worth buying AT ALL.
