CityVille

Even I have not been here for a while, because I really have almost no time, my search for the best facebook games of course still continues. One of the biggest hits this year on facebook is CityVille and if you play games on facebook, then you know very well that this game really is among the best and it is absolutely all right.
In 1990s Sim City was really great success and especially Sim City 2000 probably remembers everyone who likes this kind of games. Well, now we live in times where we have much less time then we had in the 90' and that is one of the reasons why casual gaming is so popular. What is the best place for casual gaming now? If you gues that it is facebook and that you find the best casual games there, then of course you are absolutely right. So let's take a look at this CityVille.

There are already few games similar to Sim City on facebook and of those the very best is without any doubt Social City, but I think that CityVille is even better and in this short review I will tell you why I think this.

Concept of CityVille is really very simple, it is combination of Sim City and Farmville, you add few more things and what you get is CityVille. It really is that simple. So what it is all about?

CityVille is of course all about building a city and everyone who plays computer games when you are building a city you really don't want to have some small village or calm town, or no, everyone wants huge megapolis and the bigger the city is the better. In this game you have few kinds of buildings and of course most important are residential buildings and business buildings. If you want to have to build buildings you need money and that is the reason why you need business buildings. Business buildings needs customers and that is the reason why you build residential buildings. Well of course there is no city in the world that has only residential buildings and business buildings, if you want to have functional city, you need much more. that is the reason why in this game you have also other buildings like police, parks, town hall - these are called community buildings and are also very important. You just have to build everything what thriving city needs and you can be sure that there is lot of stuff what city needs to run smoothly. When it does you can expand and upgrade your city. When all this in game works perfectly together and it is real fun you get one of the best facebook games.

What is really good about CityVille and other Zynga games and what is something I really miss in other games is that you have quests in Zynga games and that is what makes them one of the best on facebook. Of course CityVille is no different so there will always be enough goals to achieve and enough quests to be done, which is always great and makes the game much better and much bigger fun to play. In games you simply always have to have reason why to play and that reason is moving forward.

Well, there are of course also really bad things about CityVille. As many and many games on facebook, even this one was created like game you just have to play with friends unless it is much harder, everything you want to achieve is slower and so on. I'm sure that you know it from other facebook games, these games are just forcing you to play with other people, because it is the best way for creators of these games to get new players. I really don't like this and CityVille is in this one of the worst cases, it is simply very hard to play it alone if want.

Well, there are a lot of things you can do in this game I have forgot to write here, but I'm sure you will find for yourself. This game is not perfect, but certainly woth playing, so go and give it a try, because it really is one of the best games on facebook now.
