Product Description
Product Description
Build the city of your dreams, whether it's a residential paradise or an industrial powerhouse. This premium version of the Virtual City game includes 18 distinct mission scenarios, 50 challenging levels, and five unique settings: Colorado, California, Michigan, Montana, and New York. With seven production chains to master, more than 50 types of buildings to construct, 16 special achievements to earn, and 25 types of goods to transport and trade, Virtual City will captivate your inner tycoon for hours on end.
Build the city of your dreams
What Kind of City Would You Create?
Construct homes and factories, produce goods, and transport commodities. Start small and then watch your fledgling metropolis grow!
Once citizens start flocking to your fair city, you'll have to create a way for them to get around town. Design and create a mass transit system to take people to places like parks, movies, and stadiums.
Upgrade systems to generate more income
Grow Your Metropolis
Make your city a better place to live--start a recycling program, add hospitals and fire stations, plant trees, and upgrade buildings to make them more eco-friendly. Make your citizens happy by launching spectacular events for the public.
Be a Good Neighbor
Lending a hand so that nearby cities prosper will benefit everyone. Be a good neighbor and help other cities deal with economic downturns, population crises, and natural disasters. Achieve balance between key parameters of your success: time, income, environment, population, and happiness. Put your virtual city on the map--the sky's the limit.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful app that lets you build cities but many fake reviews and excessive marketing done within the game!

Game play:
You have to sign in with a player name.
There are extensive instructions under help to guide you to learn how to buy vehicles, start buildings into production and buy supplies and how to make upgrades. You also have to build roads and watch out for disease outbreaks. You have to build hospitals and they will take care of ill people. Buildings can also catch on fire and you have to put it out before the people leave the area.
Like most G5 games the graphics are very outstanding. Your car breaks down and you are picked up by your new executive assistant who tells you that you have just inherited your uncle's wealth and business's. Sarah is the assistant's name and she introduces you to your first city. You get a list of goals to improve the town. The app takes you through a tutorial. The project/goals menu is very helpful to have and use.
The game action and play is easy and fun. You start with a small town and begin developing businesses and creating commerce and watch the town start to thrive before your eyes. It is actually fun. The graphics are very good and the sound is fitting for the game. The instructions and tutorials are well done.
You have to plan the city and layout and also develop different industries to create industry and businesses to earn money.

What I Like:
This game features excellent graphics and game play. The tutorials and instructions are very good and it guides you through the game and city development in a clear and understandable way. The app is fun to play and it has worked perfectly with the Kindle Fire.
What I don't like:
At the start of the day I was surprised to see a game with such high ratings. Then I began looking at them and found that 78 out of 128 ratings that were four and five star look suspicious. Many are first time reviewers who have never posted another review and some review multiple G5 games. My suggestion is to get this game and try it and I believe you will enjoy it. It is just sad to see so many one or two line reviews that don't look real. This game is good enough to stand on its own merits.
After restarting the game for about the third time the screen opened with a play now key surrounded by a list of game icons for you to touch to take you to the Amazon Appstore or to the Amazon Browser. There are also tabs for more games, most recent, most popular, adventure and strategy. There is a trailer bar on the bottom of the screen that keeps changing to a new game. Turn off your WIFI and put your smart phone into airplane mode or your children will have a buying frenzy. The games on the top line are all the free versions but some contain more permissions and the games are quite large in size and may overload your smart device. I don't like being forced to go through their shopping mall to play the game.
Once you achieve certain awards you are asked if you want to post it on Facebook.
Summary:
This is an outstanding game and its action and game play are quite fun. I don't like all of the high game rankings that appear to be self-promotion. I also don't like going through their shopping mall every time I start the game.
This is probably the best simulation of building a city I have ever played and I recommend it to you but make sure that you turn off your WIFI and phone transmitter if your children play the game. It contains a lot of links to the web in the game and start up menus.
I am not sure that it is worth $4.99 for an app as that seems more expensive than other similar games. It certainly is a well-designed app.
* Game play is a 5 star rating
* Graphics 5 star
* Sound and special effects 5 star
* Over marketing of their products within the game 2 stars (excessive)
* Unnecessary reviews that look to be self-promotion 1 star
* Price 4 star
* Overall rating is a 4 star app.
Size: the uncompressed size is 81.11 MB on my Kindle Fire.
Permissions:
* Network communication - full internet access
* System tools - prevent Kindle from sleeping

I enjoy playing with this game but it has a little trouble responding when you tap on stuff to get to the next goal. Also you need better spacing for placeing buildings in each town. I also had a hard time figureing out how to get new buildings in the investing part and where they were while playing. Even so this game worked better on my kindle fire than it does on ipod touch 4th generation. I couldn't even get it started on it. I would have liked if it hadn't cost so much. I would have even liked it even better if it had been free.

Entertaining, but gets stale
While I appreciate all the effort that went in to making this game, I enjoyed it for a while but quickly got bored. It seemed repetitive and felt like it wasn't going anywhere. Read more

this is a pretty awesome app...
This app is pretty cool, but I think virtual city playground is better... if not for insanely huge prices. The other one should be more like this one but you build your own city.
