City Life wont have you rebuilding any existing cities, but, like SimCity, it allows you to build a modern, generic, American-style metropolis from the ground up. And while many of the games basic mechanics will seem familiar to fans of SimCity (you designate building zones for residential, commercial, and industrial construction; build power plants, hospitals, schools, and other services; and tinker with tax rates), City Life differs from SimCity in one very key way. This is a city-building game with a social conscience, which is what you might expect from a French game.
