Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game to build cities, wish you could temporarily place building aside so you could refigure the city.
We can only upgrade it to level 19. And we still cannot make a complete chain for the production of the car.
This game is so much fun, as it basically runs itself once you get it started. Info have one complaint though, and that it is easy to use all the energy up and not be able to do anything until we replenish it. Since the upgrade, we are earning money faster, and we are really enjoying it. We recommend this game, if you like games like this. We also wish that we could earn diamonds faster than just posting to Facebook. Other than that, we have no other complaints.
It is the best game in the world we will give you a 10/10.
We enjoy how easy it is to navigate it makes it more fun.
Pretty good game. No problems with it for us.
This game is a great game to play if you have time to waste. Define toy one of our favorite games from G5. Id recommend to any age.
Love this game. Makes you think like a business person. Pretty awesome.
Game is fun and can be addicting.
Great just need gems for everything.
Must pay to play. Other than that, its a fun game.
We need more diamonds to connect the buildings and the never give us diamonds for that we cannot do another goal or do anotjer level.
We have to look up how to finish quest and look at Reddit forms.
If the you was able to get more land easily its just not enough space to play and actually enjoyed it we think tapping on property is a waste of time if you gonna ask people to spend money at the least make it fun enough to play.
They should have worked on this game longer before releasing it. We dont want to give them a small fortune just to be able to play this game. We deleted the game. It is designed to take as much money as possible for everything that you do. Not worth the time, or the money.
We like the game and all the options just wish it was easier and less costly to expand. It seems that new buildings come out quicker than we can expand.
Excelente juego, tanto para la creatividad y para el manejo administrativo.
We love it because of g5 friends.
Lots of fun and good times. Takes way too many gems to unlock items and way too few gems to gain without real $$.
Constructicons, lets go to work.
We really like this game but you could give more gems for installing more businesses in the game and definitely make it a lot cheaper to build and make more room available to build especially get rid of the gems to destroy a hill and just use the game cash to destroy a hill instead of 19 gems.
Good to kill times Easy to control units.
We miss the free play version but this will do.
Great game overall. Wish there was a newer version.
Have been playing this game for years now.
We used to play this as a kid and we still love it.
Fun game. Ive been playing this game for a long time.
Likes: Earns money when app is closed. Easy to figure out the workings without reading Keeps our interest Dislikes: Looks like you have to buy diamonds to expand and build. Some Opportunities to earn a few diamonds but not many.
Lol only leaving review for rewards.
We played on both our iPad and Computer and it is great.
This is a really fun game but its too expensive to buy more slots,It should all be way cheaper to increase the size of the city.
Addicted to play it everyday love it.
Love it. We just wish they bring back the sandbox.
This game is great because you can build so many things and be creative.
This is the childhood memory we have been looking for.
Come and join us in this enjoyable game. This is design to keep your mind entertained.joinhelp.
Addictive, we love playing. Love the real life atmosphere.
Sekali main ketagihan…. Tingkatin lagi Free games nya.
We love this game, it's a fun way to spend your time! Our favorite.
We like the gam a lot but it has been crashing and kicking us out the past few days when we watch a video. We dont have a problem with watching the videos but after it kicks us out then we lose all our progress and anyDiamonds we use for things we need. If this problem isnt fixed we will delete game. The sad part we play other G5 games and never had these problems!! Please fix.
When you pay for the game upfront. And dont have to pay for energy to play the game.
We like games to now love app best our life.
Fun game that gives you lots to do.
The best virtual city game ever.
Would totally recommend this to anyone.
This is one of our favorite games to play, and when its sister games were around, we loved playing them as well. The graphics on this game is amazing and we love being able to expand when we need.
This game is actually pretty good.
This game is different and fast paced, it definitely keeps you entertained.
