From elegant villas in residential neighborhoods to imposing skyscrapers in the financial district, in City Life you can design and develop the city of your dreams. It's up to you to manage this city effectively, overseeing booming development while at the same time regulating the very delicate issues of pollution and traffic as well as the fine balance of utilities and entertainment for the different social classes that populate your town. Including the "deluxe" expansion giving you famous buildings to construct, this version also includes the easy to use building editor to create some of the wildest skyscrapers ever!
Wide open spaces as far as the eye can see, that's what all city builders start with, and City Life is no exception. Your job is to fill those rolling hills with skyscrapers, industries and people, in great quantities. Easy to pick up and play, the interface in City Life will let you take hold of your planning with a click of the mouse. Instead of being limited to the old square, right angled layout, you can position everything the way you want (we know that metropolises in the shape of your initials will follow). Upgrading can also be done at the click of a mouse, improving your town as you see fit.
But you should be careful on how you spend your money, your coffers aren't limited after all. Everything costs money, and that includes maintaining that great looking building that has improved the moral of your whole area. Proper accountancy is a must but with on screen tools telling you exactly what is needed you won't be punished for any ignorance.
But don't read this as saying that the game in easy. Thanks to a rewards system based on targets and missions, that are a real challenge to meet, your grey matter will definitely get some stimulating when you're aiming for that gold medal rating.
