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.

No great shakes, but an awful lot better than "SimCity Societies." [Mar 2008, p.87]
75
Games Master UK
The inclusion of simple stats and the clever use of newsreel clips to highlight problems make this a superior sim. [Mar 2008, p.84]
74
PC Zone UK
Pretty absorbing. [May 2008, p.87]

It's still worthy of purchase to those that haven't played the original, but to any who have, just play the original for the same experience.

AceGamez
A decent, if not wonderful, city management game - there are some elements that really shine and the most impressive is the management of subcultures within the one city - adding a wonderful real city feel and a welcome innovative twist to the genre. Not as outstanding - but still high quality - are the graphics and level of detail.

Boomtown
The game is good, the editor not so good, but there doesn’t seem to have been any real development from the original. The game hasn’t taken a step forward; it’s where it was when it was first released.

GameSpot
The latest addition to this family of innovative city-building games leaves you wanting more, mostly because it offers so little that is new.

50
Thunderbolt
City Life is a game that took social generalisations and completely sensationalised them to the point of an unrealistic nature and made them unworkable with the concept of the game.

50
EuroGamer
Those who own previous incarnations of the game won't find it a worthwhile upgrade, as it merely adds some new scenarios (which aren't much different to the old), a fresh dollop of buildings and an editor that allows for importing satellite maps. Nothing to get too excited about, really.
