Facebook Game Review: Super City

Super City looks quite nice for a Facebook game and you initially start with a small play area that you can expand upon later on. At the top left you will find your game coins and any game cash if you have it. To the far right you will find your experience bar, level and number of people currently in your city. Below that you will find Andy the game tutorial avatar as well as options to take a snapshot and view the game full screen. At the lower left is the main build icons, road building icon, and bulldozer to remove trees. The build icon can be expanded to reveal all the different building options in the game. New options will become available as you level up and gain experience. The graphics are decent but the game can slow down some with all the sim people moving around your city.

There are not many decorative options available in Super City besides some trees and a bridge. Not only are the decorative items lacking but the tress are very expensive. I can remove tress on the map with my bulldozer for free yet a simple tree costs $3000 in game coins. There are no benches, street lamps, or any other sort of decoration available in the game. The decorative aspect of this game falls flat and the high cost of a simple tree is annoying.

One highlight of this games is the ability to play with your Facebook friends and use some strategy too. You can visit your Friends cities and attempt to steal their money. When you visit their cities simply click on buildings and see if there is rent money there and you can attempt to steal it. Another option you have is to slow down the building process of a friends city. You can do this by clicking their buildings and using the radial menu to offer their workers a “hamburger” The workers will stop to eat and your friend must click on that building to get the construction started again. Both stealing and slowing down construction offers strategy to this game and gives you something to do when visiting your friends city.
