Manage Your Very Own City with Cityville
December 12th, 2011
Zynga gives Facebook users a chance to play free SimCity with the launch of Cityville. With the goal of building your very own social city, Cityville took the online world by storm, becoming Zynga’s biggest launch against their other free online games like angry birds.
In Cityville, the player is the mayor of his own virtual city. He gives it its name and performs actions that will develop the city, such as developing roads, building establishments, even setting up farms. There are energy points which are consumed and get replenished in time. The player may visit another city owned by a neighbor and earn points from that. Since Cityville is a social networking game, this visiting feature is necessary to further develop the idea of a social city governed by the player.
Even though Cityville is like SimCity in a lot of aspects, it can stand as one of the best free online games in the market. Why is it one of the best? It has more than 60 million users to date and will increase as Cityville launched to other platforms as well such as in Google +.
