''Graphically, City Life: 2008 Edition is, in the world of simulation, superb. There are a generous amount of different building and player models displayed, and the 3D view when zoomed in is outstanding, to say the least. When compared with its closest competitor in the city simulation games out there, Sim City, I have to say that City Life: 2008 Edition looks far better. The mere fact that you can drop down to street level and take a stroll among your denizens is absolutely wonderful.
The audio elements of City Life are also done quite well, with the city sights and sounds coming through quite nicely. From a distance, everything seems tranquil and at peace, but at street level, you'll hear the city come alive with everything from ambient noises to the chants of the residents in protest. The music of City Life also has a familiar tone if you've played other simulators. It is both pleasing to the ears and relaxing enough to enjoy the game in peace, yet has a slightly upbeat tempo to keep your attention level high.''
