Er du en av de som ble totalt overrasket over hver godt byplanleggingsspillet City Life var, ja så har vi i dag gode nyheter. For nylig ble City Life: World Edition annonsert av den amerikanske avdelingen av CDV og Monte Cristo. Med over 100 nye bygninger samt en fet bunke med kjente landemerker, vil spillet gi oss simulasjonsfreaks bld på tann. Med et nytt Sim City-spill på tur, blir det spennende å se hvem som vinner kampen om oss byplanleggere.
Foreløpig er det ikke blitt bestemt noen europeisk releasedato, men i USA kommer spillet den 15. januar neste år. Så nå er det bare å vente til spillet dukker opp her til lands.
Her er mer fakta:
* A true 3D city builder that allows the player to grow his or her creations from a small village to a massive megalopolis, creating a living breathing metropolis filled with diverse citizens moving to and fro, interacting realistically with one another and the player.
* Six distinct social classes challenge players' design and management skills. Unique amenities must be offered to meet the varying expectations of the citizenry, as only diverse but harmonious neighborhoods allow a city to reach its full potential.
* Twenty-seven included terrains and over 300 distinct structures -- from run-down tenements and corner gas stations to elegant villas and imposing skyscrapers -- are available to challenge players
* New international landmarks such as the White House, Eiffel Tower, Kremlin and Statue of Liberty provide the opportunity to create a truly international metropolis
* Gameplay can be pursued in an open-ended sandbox mode or in a goal-oriented approach
* A powerful game engine takes into account population density, pollution, economics, education, the mood and social background of the citizenry, and much more to create a rich game experience
* An extensive city editor allows players to create sophisticated and challenging city management situations, while a new in-game building editor allows the modification of all buildings; these can then be shared online with the City Life: World Edition community
* Players can import MP3 music files to build and manage their city while rocking (or relaxing) to their own soundtrack
